Pursuing a medical malpractice claim in Maryland is a complex process with specific legal requirements. Unlike other personal injury cases, Maryland law requires a plaintiff to first file a claim with the state’s Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (HCADRO).
In addition, within 90 days of filing, a plaintiff must submit a “Certificate of a Qualified Expert” from a medical professional who attests that the defendant breached the standard of care and that this breach caused the injury.
At Burnett Injury Group, our Annapolis attorneys’ experience with these legal procedures allows us to streamline the process, ensuring all necessary steps are taken correctly and on time when filing a medical malpractice claim. We meticulously review medical records and consult with qualified experts to build a solid case that can stand up in the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s actions or inaction fall below the accepted “standard of care” for their profession, resulting in patient harm.
Our medical malpractice attorneys handle a wide range of cases in Annapolis, including:
It is crucial to act quickly if you suspect medical negligence. In Maryland, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally three years from the date the injury was discovered, or five years from the date of the injury itself, whichever comes first.
However, there can be exceptions, particularly for minors or cases involving fraud. Because of these strict deadlines and the complexity of the legal process, consulting with an Annapolis lawyer as soon as possible is essential to protect your rights and ensure that your medical malpractice claim is filed correctly and on time.
When medical negligence has caused you or a loved one harm, you need an attorney who is not only a skilled litigator but also a compassionate advocate.

If you have been a victim of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to recover damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and other losses. Our attorneys will fight to maximize your compensation and hold the responsible parties accountable.
In Maryland, generally the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases is three years from the date of injury or death. Situations differ, however, so it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to determine any applicable deadlines for your medical malpractice claim.
Given the complexities of medical malpractice law, victims find it valuable to have an attorney represent their interests. A personal injury law firm has the resources many victims need to effectively navigate the process, gather evidence, hire medical experts, negotiate with insurance companies, and connect you with resources that can help put you or your loved ones on a road to recovery.
The “standard of care” is the level of skill and care that a reasonably competent healthcare provider in a similar specialty and geographic location would have used under the same circumstances. Your Annapolis medical malpractice lawyer will work with a medical expert to establish this standard and prove that it was breached.
Compensation can include economic damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and future care costs, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Maryland law does impose a cap on non-economic damages, but there is no cap on economic damages.
The first step is to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney. They will review your case, gather medical records, and help you navigate the initial, required filing with the Maryland Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (HCADRO).
A birth injury is any harm to a baby during or immediately after childbirth. This can range from minor injuries to severe, lifelong disabilities.
The general statute of limitations for a birth injury to your child is three years from their 18th birthday. However, in some cases, the statute of limitations may be extended if the injury is not immediately noticeable.
