The medical malpractice attorneys at The Law Office of Thomas E. Pyles, P.A. have represented many Maryland clients harmed by provider errors. By holding the responsible parties accountable, our team helps clients recover their losses and move forward. Medical mistakes that may support a malpractice claim include:

• Performing surgery on the wrong patient or the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical instruments or sponges inside a patient
• Failure to diagnose (e.g., cancer) or significant delay in diagnosis
• Anesthesia errors
• Wrong medication or wrong dosage (drug administration mistakes)
• Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy

If the standard of care fell short and caused harm, the provider may be liable for all resulting damages. In tragic outcomes, families may also have a wrongful death claim.

What Is Considered Medical Malpractice in Maryland?

Malpractice—often called “professional negligence”—occurs when a licensed provider fails to meet the applicable standard of care, causing injury. To prove malpractice, you generally must show:

• A professional duty existed (provider–patient relationship)
• The provider violated the medical standard of care
• The violation caused the patient’s injury
• Compensable harm occurred (financial, physical, or both)

Providers and insurers often argue a patient’s underlying condition—not negligence—caused the outcome. That’s why you need experienced counsel to secure records, consult qualified experts, and build a clear, evidence-based case. If malpractice occurred in a long-term care setting, our team also handles related nursing home negligence claims.
