Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Maryland

Malpractice is defined as negligence on the part of a professional, such as a health care provider, or performing acts or neglecting to perform acts that meet the standard of care. The failure to fully advise the patient of all the risks inherent in a particular medical procedure is often the basis of a charge of lack of informed consent. If the patient can establish that the failure to inform was beneath the standard of care, and that, had the patient been fully informed, he would not have undergone the procedure, and that the procedure caused the current problems, you may have the basis for a claim. You should seek a consultation with an experienced medical malpractice attorney who can have your records evaluated by an expert in the same field as the doctor in question, and advise you on whether it's worth proceeding with a claim.
