There has to be negligence. That is the key. Did they perform the risky procedure like an ordinary, reasonable prudent surgeon would. It is not the outcome that matters. It is whether a mistake was made.

Google Maryland malpractice cap to find out the exact numbers. It is based on the year of the injury. The pain and suffering cap this year is 800k. There is no cap on economic damages.

Good question. There is no possibility in Maryland unless the surgeon had actual intent to cause you harm.

You do not need a serious case to win. You need a serious case to get a lawyer interested in your claim if you want to pay by contingency fee.
How series is a sliding scale based on how obvious the malpractice is.
Does that constitute medical malpractice?

I would depend on the facts of the case. A bad outcome does not mean malpractice. If you could prove that a reasonable, prudent doctor would not have taken the cast off early, you have a theoretical case.
Or more?

You could potentially recover your bills, you lost wags, and your pain and suffering damages if a jury were to find a mistake was made.

As a practical matter, unless you suffered serious injuries, no lawyer would take this case. Whether you have a theoretical case would depend on whether the doctor knew or had reason to know you might be allergic to that medication.
After I registered at a lab for several blood tests, I was told that they could do all tests except for the Sickle Cell screening. I already registered before they told me that, meaning I was already obligated to pay them. One of my issues is that, by offering all other tests except the Sickle Cell... View More

I don't think this is a medical malpractice case. Did you call the lab and tell them you no longer want to take the test and explain why? I doubt they would hold your feet to the fire if you have not yet taken the test.

Certainly, there may be facts to support your claim. You just have not offered enough facts about your case but there are many scenarios like this where the cyclist could be responsible.

Yes. It does not matter under Maryland law whether he was wearing a seatbelt or not. You are still responsible for his injuries even if he told the truth.

From a legal standpoint, you are best to just let it go because saying anything could get you into trouble. If you are less worried about the legal and more interested in being a good neighbor, go with your first idea.

You will never find a lawyer to take this claim and your chances of success are extremely low.
60 days into a new job- I came into work throwing up but ready to work. The doctor I was working for asked me to go home. Now during my review they are using that against me saying it was an unexcused day.

This is a employment question not a malpractice question and you should probably pose your question to the employment lawyers on here.

I would need more facts. But a good guess is that you both are at fault. You should drive appropriate to the conditions and the rear-ending vehicle should have left enough distance behind you.

Your wife is not a possible defendant just for being on the same insurance policy. She can be sued if she is he owner or operator of the vehicle.

You can if you did not sign a release. Often in property damage cases, the insurance company does not require a release which leaves the door open for a lawsuit. You cannot collect twice. For example, if they paid you $2,000 and you got a $5,000 verdict at trial, you would get $3,000.
