You have not posted an actual question. Do I have a possible claim? Is that your question? Answer: Yes, perhaps. The claim could be dependent on the difference in appearance between the two medications, what medication was actually described on the prescription bottle, how much of the... View More

You have to prove that the shelter had a duty to care for your dog, breached that duty of care in some way, and that breach of care directly resulted in your dog's death. You have articulated no facts to support how or what caused your dog's death. How do you know your dog did not eat... View More

You are mixing up two totally different things: (1) the right of a legal entity to regularly conduct business in Maryland; and (2) which state you owe and pay income taxes. If it was as easy as where you organize your pass-through entity, everyone would create an LLC in the states with no state... View More

A Maryland attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. I'm sorry for your ordeal. It would be difficult for any attorney to offer meaningful guidance here though, regardless of where they practice, based on the brief description. And even with additional information... View More

Do both. Photograph the bottle etc, the receipt .

Realistically, you have a case but a very small one because from what you say nothing lasting happened--you had a nasty experience, but that would get you very little.

However the pharmacy should be notified because, who knows, the... View More

It's difficult to make a meaningful assessment based on the limited facts here. You could consult with an attorney, and it is likely they would have additional questions, such as warnings for the prescription. They would likely want to know whether instructions for the medication were... View More

“Winning” is determined not by how injured or damaged you are, but how strong your evidence is that your doctor breached the standard of care he owed to you when providing your medical care. The standard of care must be established by another physician with the expertise to define what that... View More

There is a statutory scheme set up to specifically address medical malpractice by physicians (regular M.D.s), that would not apply to vets.

It really will depends on the details of the case like when was the product recalled and what are the damages, but it doesn't sound good from your limited description. I would recommend you sit down and go over it with an attorney.

I do not practice in Maryland but your question remains open for four weeks. The underlying concept is essentially the same. It is based upon the existence of a duty, a breach of that duty, injuries/damages, and a causal link between the breach of duty and ensuing injuries. Medical malpractice can... View More

The fact he retired is irrelevant. He can be sued. The issue is whether you waited too long to make a claim.

It would depend on the terms of the settlement agreement, specifically the confidentiality portion.

Health insurance is supposed to cover the costs of whatever medical care you need, regardless of the cause. It does not provide damages for pain and suffering, permanent impairment, loss of income, etc., caused by medical malpractice. Those types of damages are what malpractice claims are for,...

Yes, a nursing home can be liable for malpractice and there are particular standards of care that apply to them. Nursing home negligence is a regular issue in courts around the state.

Hi - sorry for your loss.
