Maryland Birth Injury Malpractice Lawsuits

On this page, our Maryland birth injury lawyers will talk about birth injury medical malpractice lawsuits. We will look at the most common types of medical negligence during labor and delivery that we see in birth injury cases. We will also discuss the amount of compensation plaintiffs can get in these cases by looking at settlement amounts and jury payouts in prior Maryland birth injury cases.

The term birth injury generally means physical injury, brain damage, nerve damage, or other harm to a newborn baby caused by something that occurs before, during, or shortly after labor and delivery. Some birth injuries are unavoidable. That is true. Childbirth is complicated, and even good doctors can face emergencies that no one could have prevented.

But many serious birth injuries are the direct result of mistakes or negligence by doctors, nurses, midwives, and hospitals. In many cases, injuries during birth can leave a child disabled for life. These are not small cases. These are cases about children who may need therapy, medical care, mobility equipment, feeding support, seizure care, home nursing, or around-the-clock assistance for the rest of their lives.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about motorcycle accident injury claims. Our motorcycle accident lawyers handle serious injury and wrongful death claims arising from motorcycle crashes everywhere. Our attorneys tell you what you need to know, and we take a long look at settlement amounts and jury payouts.

Motorcycle accident cases are different from ordinary car accident cases. The injuries are usually worse. The liability fight is often harder. Insurance companies are more aggressive. And motorcycle riders face a bias that car drivers rarely face. The defense wants the jury to think the rider was reckless before anyone hears the facts.

That is not fair. But it is real.

Bard PowerPort Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The Bard PowerPort (“BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port catheter device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome and Birth Injuries

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Meconium aspiration syndrome is one of those birth complications that can turn a normal delivery into a medical emergency very quickly. It usually starts with something doctors and nurses see all the time — meconium-stained amniotic fluid. In most newborn deliveries, that finding alone does not mean the baby will be injured. But it is a warning sign that prudent doctors and nurses must focus on. It tells the delivery team to pay attention, prepare for trouble, and be ready to act if the baby shows signs of distress. Most birth injury lawsuits involving meconium aspiration are due to doctors not taking the presence of meconium seriously.

This page explains what meconium aspiration syndrome is, how it can injure a newborn, what doctors and hospitals are supposed to do when meconium is present, and how medical negligence can turn a manageable complication into a devastating birth injury. We also look at settlements and verdicts in meconium aspiration malpractice lawsuits.

The key point is simple. Meconium aspiration syndrome can happen even when doctors do everything right. But when a hospital ignores warning signs, delays delivery, fails to respond to fetal distress, or mishandles a newborn who is struggling to breathe, the result can be brain damage, HIE, chronic lung disease, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or death.

Does a Power of Attorney Make You Liable for Nursing Home Bills?

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you have a power of attorney from your elderly parent or relative who lives in a nursing home, does that mean you can be held liable for nursing home bills? The answer is no, but nursing homes may try to go after you anyway.

That is the short answer. Having power of attorney does not make you personally responsible for your parent’s nursing home bill. A power of attorney gives you the authority to act for the resident. It does not turn the resident’s debt into your debt.

But there are traps. Nursing home admission paperwork can be confusing. Some facilities use “responsible party” language that makes family members think they are signing only to help with paperwork, while the facility later argues they agreed to do more. Some nursing homes or debt collectors may send bills to adult children even when the child never agreed to be personally responsible. Some may suggest that having power of attorney means you owe the bill yourself.

Mississippi Injury Personal Injury Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

In Mississippi, personal injury law covers a wide range of civil claims. Car accidents. Truck accidents. Slip and fall cases. Medical malpractice. Dog bites. Dangerous products. Birth injuries. Wrongful death claims. The common thread is that someone was hurt because another person, company, hospital, truck driver, store, doctor, or government employee failed to act with reasonable care.

The value of a Mississippi personal injury case depends on the facts, the injuries, the venue, the insurance, the medical proof, the plaintiff, the defendant, and the jury. Two cases can look similar on paper and produce very different results. That is what makes settlement value so hard to predict. Anyone who tells you there is a simple Mississippi settlement calculator is selling something.

This page explains Mississippi personal injury law, including the statute of limitations, comparative fault, damage caps, medical malpractice rules, wrongful death claims, government claims, premises liability, dog bite cases, workers’ compensation, and examples of Mississippi verdicts and settlements.

Social Media Addiction Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about social media addiction lawsuits and who is eligible to bring a claim. Our lawyers also provide the latest news on social media class action lawsuits (including the ongoing trial in California).

The problem that led to social media lawsuits is that millions of people, too many of whom are children, are addicted to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, and, in some cases, suicide.

Now, these companies are facing a wave of new social media lawsuits alleging that they knowingly designed the algorithms of their platforms to lure young people into harmful addictions.

Miami Car Accident Lawsuits and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, our car accident lawyers will look at Miami auto accident lawsuits. We will review key points of Florida law relevant to auto tort cases and we will discuss how much settlement compensation plaintiffs typically get in Miami car accident cases.

Miami car accident cases are different from car accident cases in many other parts of the country. The roads are crowded. The drivers are aggressive. Tourists are everywhere. Commercial trucks, rideshare vehicles, taxis, delivery vans, motorcycles, scooters, pedestrians, and bicyclists all share the same overloaded road system. When a crash happens, the injuries can be serious and the insurance issues can be more complicated than victims expect.

This page explains Miami car accident law, Florida no-fault insurance, the statute of limitations, comparative fault, damages, settlement value, and recent Miami auto accident verdicts and settlements.

Informed Consent Malpractice Lawsuits in Maryland

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will examine medical malpractice lawsuits based on the theory of a lack of informed consent by the doctor or healthcare provider. In non-emergency situations, doctors are required to obtain a patient’s informed consent before rendering any type of medical treatment or performing any sort of procedure. If they fail to obtain informed consent, the doctor can be held liable for medical malpractice.

Lack of Informed Consent Claims

In Maryland, the law requires doctors and healthcare providers to fully explain any proposed treatment or medical procedure to the patient before moving forward. This includes a duty to explain both the benefits of the procedure or treatment, and to warn the patient of any material risks or dangers inherent in the therapy or procedure. The explanation from the doctor must enable the patient to reasonably understand the risks and benefits and make an intelligent and informed choice about whether or not to undergo such treatment.
