Re: Medical Malpractice-Maybe

In Maryland, you have a cause of action if you can prove that the tubal ligation was performed negligently, and the fact that the tubal ligation failed does not necessarily mean that the doctor who performed the procedure was negligent.The damages in this kind of case would be child rearing costs, even if the child is healthy, but when assessing damages the court would also take into account the benefits that you will derive as a result of the parent child relationship. Please feel free to call if you want to discuss this further.
