Best Medical Malpractice & Negligence Lawyers in Glen Burnie, MD

How Can I Prove that I’ve Been a Victim of Medical Misdiagnosis? You must prove that you have a specific condition that the medical professional missed. For example, you had a heart attack, but the doctor misdiagnosed it as anxiety. Doctors must follow what’s known as the “standard of care.” Essentially, the standard of care is what a reasonable medical professional with similar training would have done in a similar situation. This may include: Taking blood work, Ordering X-rays, Getting a second opinion, Reordering an X-ray if results are inconclusive, Ordering more tests if results are inconclusive. Proving this typically requires expert testimony. In some states, you can’t even move forward with a medical malpractice case without an expert certifying that the case has merit. This is a certificate that a medical professional has reviewed and signed attesting that they believe the doctor’s action or inaction violated their duty of care and that the violation was a cause of your injury. Maryland is one such state that requires a certificate of qualified expert and report. Our team works with a number of experts in various fields of study.
