In the realm of defending professional
liability claims brought against physicians, nurses, hospitals,
and other health care providers, the Firm's collective experience
is more than 250 years. In those years, the members of the Firm
have been instrumental in shaping the law of Maryland and the District
of Columbia in the areas of evidentiary proof relative to claims
against hospitals and physicians, the measure of damages available
in health care cases, the protection of patient records, duties
owed by health care providers to patients, and bad faith insurance
cases, to name a few. In addition, the Firm is actively involved
in representing physicians and other health professionals in matters
before the Maryland Board of Physicians, as well as in actions
or inquires by similar health care provider administrative bodies.
Members of the Firm lecture
to health care providers throughout Maryland and the District of
Columbia concerning risk management and other legal matters for
which our guidance is requested. Such requests have included mock
trials, deposition preparation, proper medical record keeping,
and specific medical/legal areas, including birth-related neurological
injuries. The Firm has likewise engaged medical experts in multiple
medical disciplines to assist in the defense of matters assigned
to it. In sum, the Firm is a full service entity, whose members
possess premier abilities to assist and defend those health care
providers, hospitals, and groups or individuals allied to and working
in the health care field. |
