Nash & Associates White Paper:
"Proving Medical Negligence in Maryland - The Standard of Care"

In general, a plaintiff in a medical malpractice case bears the burden of proof on four issues:

1. the applicable standard of care;
2. 2) a deviation from the standard of care by a healthcare provider(s);
3. 3) a causal relationship between the deviation from the standard of care and plaintiff's injury; and
4. 4) proof of plaintiff's injury.

The necessary proof for each of the above elements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. As a result, a litigant must carefully choose an attorney who is familiar with the local requirements for proving medical malpractice/medical negligence. This is particularly true in the State of Maryland. This article provides a primer on what a litigant must do in Maryland to establish the applicable standard of care for a healthcare provider (i.e., physician or nurse) in a medical malpractice/medical negligence case.
