Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider in Columbia or the surrounding Howard County area deviates from the accepted standards of medical care, resulting in patient injury or death. These cases can involve physicians, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals who fail to provide appropriate care. Common examples of medical malpractice in the Columbia area include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, medication mistakes, and failure to treat or prevent infections.
Our experienced Columbia medical malpractice attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to determine if you have grounds for a claim. We work with leading medical experts to establish that a physician-patient relationship existed, the healthcare provider was negligent, this negligence directly caused your injury, and that you suffered specific damages as a result. Our legal team understands the complexities of Maryland's medical malpractice laws, including the requirement to file a certificate of qualified expert within 90 days of your claim.
Maryland law allows victims of medical malpractice in Columbia to pursue both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover quantifiable losses such as medical expenses and lost wages, while non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering and decreased quality of life. For claims arising in 2025, Maryland caps non-economic damages at $905,000, with higher limits for wrongful death cases involving multiple beneficiaries. Our Columbia medical malpractice lawyers will work diligently to secure the maximum compensation available for your specific situation.
If you believe you've been a victim of medical malpractice in Columbia, it's crucial to act quickly. Maryland's statute of limitations requires medical malpractice lawsuits to be filed within three years of discovering the injury or five years from the date of the injury, whichever comes first. For wrongful death claims resulting from medical malpractice, family members must file within three years of the victim's death. Our Columbia attorneys will ensure all deadlines are met while building the strongest possible case on your behalf.
