Maryland Malpractice Lawsuits and the Public Interest

The Baltimore Injury Lawyer Blog today underscores why meritorious medical malpractice lawsuits not only bring justice for the malpractice victim but also serve society. The post contrasts two cases of malpractice and cover-up: one by a Maryland lawyer, the other by a Maryland doctor. The lawyer is, appropriately, disbarred. The doctor never stopped treating patients, receiving only a public reprimand.

It is not optimal that the best way to police doctors in Maryland is malpractice lawsuits. But meaningful discipline from the Maryland Board of Physicians is simply not a deterrent because meaningful discipline is so rare.
