Understanding the Elements of a Medical Malpractice Case
Filing a medical malpractice case can be a complex process, and it's important to have a clear understanding of the elements involved. At Miller Stern Lawyers, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge, so they can make informed decisions about their case. Here are the key elements that need to be proven in a medical malpractice case:
- Duty of care: It must be established that the healthcare professional had a legal duty to provide a certain standard of care to the patient.
- Breach of duty: It must be shown that the healthcare professional breached their duty of care by failing to meet the expected standard.
- Causation: It must be proven that the breach of duty directly caused the patient's injury or harm.
- Damages: The patient must have suffered actual damages as a result of the healthcare professional's negligence.
Our experienced Baltimore medical malpractice attorneys have a deep understanding of these elements and know how to gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case on your behalf. We will work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek the compensation you deserve.

Maryland’s Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Cases
When you discover you are the victim of a misdiagnosis or some other form of medical malpractice, you should not wait to discuss your case with an Baltimore medical malpractice attorney. Maryland enforces time limits for taking legal action in these cases, and if you miss the deadline, you will most likely be unable to recover compensation.
You will have five years from the date of the injury or three years from the date you discovered your injury, whichever comes first, to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. For example, if your doctor failed to diagnose a brain injury, you have five years from the date of the initial misdiagnosis or three years from the date you learned you were misdiagnosed – again, whichever comes first.
Should medical malpractice result in death, you will have three years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file a wrongful death claim.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice refers to a legal concept that arises when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or medical institution, fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonably skilled and competent practitioner would have provided in similar circumstances.
When this failure to meet the standard of care results in harm or injury to a patient, it is referred to as medical malpractice.
To establish a medical malpractice claim, certain elements must be present. These typically include:
- Demonstrating the existence of a doctor-patient relationship
- Showing that the healthcare provider was negligent in their care or treatment
- Proving that the negligence caused the patient's injury
- Establishing the extent of the damages suffered by the patient
Medical malpractice cases can involve a wide range of issues, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, anesthesia errors, and more.
These cases can be complex, requiring expert medical testimony and thorough investigation to determine whether a breach of the standard of care occurred.
Medical malpractice claims are usually pursued through civil lawsuits, allowing injured patients to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the negligence of a healthcare professional.
It is essential for individuals who suspect they have been victims of medical malpractice to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney to understand their rights and options.
