Annapolis, MD Medical Malpractice Attorney

Healthcare professionals are trusted to provide competent medical treatment for patients, assessing their symptoms correctly, performing the proper diagnoses, providing the appropriate treatment, and monitoring and following up with patients to make sure their health issues have been addressed correctly. Sadly, that trust can be broken due to negligence, and patients can suffer serious harm when doctors or other providers make mistakes or do not provide the proper care.

The consequences of medical malpractice can be devastating, and patients may experience severe injuries, lasting health complications, or even wrongful death. At Kisner Law, we represent patients in Annapolis who have suffered harm because of medical errors. Attorney Jason Kisner works to ensure that negligent medical providers are held accountable, and he fights aggressively to obtain the financial compensation that patients need to recover from their injuries.

There are many situations where a healthcare provider may fail to meet the standards that are expected of them. When a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional does not provide the level of skill and attention that someone with similar qualifications would use, this may be considered medical malpractice. When a provider's negligence causes a patient to suffer an injury, a malpractice claim can help ensure that the patient will be compensated for their damages.

Injuries caused by medical negligence can take many forms, including:

• Surgical Injuries: Errors made during surgery, such as damaging internal organs, operating on the wrong site, or leaving tools inside the patient, can result in severe complications and long-term disabilities.
• Infections: Poor hygiene, contaminated equipment, or failure to recognize signs of infection can lead to serious health issues that may affect a patient's health. Some infections may lead to sepsis, and if this condition is not recognized and treated correctly, it can be life-threatening.
• Birth Injuries: Mistakes during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can lead to serious harm for both mothers and newborn children. Conditions such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and maternal hemorrhage may occur due to negligent monitoring, improper use of delivery tools or other forms of malpractice.
• Nerve Damage or Paralysis: Anesthesia errors or surgical mistakes may cause permanent nerve damage, pain, or loss of motor function.
• Medication Injuries: Administering the wrong medication, prescribing or administering an incorrect dosage, failing to check for harmful drug interactions, or failing to prevent an allergic reaction can cause patients to suffer serious injuries.
• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: A failure to recognize serious conditions such as cancer, strokes, or heart attacks can affect a patient's ability to receive the proper treatment within the correct timeframes. These issues can result in avoidable harm, especially in situations where a condition progresses and becomes life-threatening.
• Delayed Treatment: Unnecessary delays in performing procedures, administering medications, or transferring a patient to a higher level of care may lead to the worsening of a treatable condition.
• Failure to Obtain Informed Consent: Medical providers are required to explain the risks of certain treatments to patients and make sure they understand what alternative forms of treatment may be available. Failing to do so may put patients at risk of harm and or cause them to under procedures that they would not have agreed to if they were properly informed.

Patients who suffer harm due to medical negligence may need to deal with long-term medical expenses for treatments to address the injuries they have experienced. They may experience financial losses if injuries prevent them from working. These issues often lead to a reduced quality of life, and patients may also struggle with emotional trauma. A medical malpractice claim can help ensure that a patient will be fully compensated for all of these damages.
