Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog

I added to our Personal Injury Lawyer Help Center's Trial Materials section a direct and cross examination for a trial I had in Prince George's County, Maryland two weeks ago. The cross underscores the difficulty defense lawyers have in cross examining treating doctors on bias. The message as always: use treating doctors in personal injury cases whenever possible.

This maxim is most difficult to apply but holds most true in medical malpractice cases. The difficulty, of course, is getting the subsequent treating doctor to offer medical malpractice opinions that he/she does not want to give for reasons that have nothing to do with the question of whether a medical mistake was made. Maryland has a small medical community and there is great reluctance for Maryland doctors to testify against each other.

I also added, by popular demand, another deposition of a defendant driver in a Maryland auto accident case, this one by attorney Laura G. Zois. I intend to add more of these things as the we continue to expand the Maryland Personal Injury Attorney Help Center. It is just very time consuming for us to redact all of the parties' identifying information, scan in the documents, and then put it up on the web site. Slowly but surely we will continue to build it up.
