Establishing Liability in a Maryland Medical Malpractice Case




In the case above, before trial, the defendant unsuccessfully attempted to exclude certain documents from the Virginia Board of Medicine. These documents related to instances where the expert witness violated rules and regulations connected to his medical practice. During the trial, the expert witness opined that the defendant did not stray from the generally accepted standard of care. The plaintiff subsequently cross-examined the witness on his disciplinary past. The court found that the lower court did not err when they allowed this testimony because it goes to whether the expert could appropriately comment on appropriate standards.

Expert witnesses play a crucial role in Maryland medical malpractice lawsuits. Thus, it is critical to retain an experienced injury attorney who maintains relationships with qualified and reputable expert witnesses.
