Read MoreThe often-repeated goal of the modern physician is simple — “do no harm.” However, overworked doctors in facilities with limited resources often make mistakes that have grave consequences. Medical malpractice can range from a minor incident that is corrected swiftly to a major problem leading to death, disability or long-term injury.
When it happens to you or someone you care about, legal action may be necessary to get appropriately compensated for your suffering. If you’ve incurred additional medical expenses, extended hospitalization or other negative consequences as a result of a doctor’s negligence, contact the office of Shulman Rogers in Potomac, MD.

Most of us have respect and sympathy for medical professionals, especially those who go out of their way to provide a high level of care. It’s important to remember that filing a malpractice lawsuit is not about punishing the doctor responsible — it’s about ensuring you have the resources necessary to move on without jeopardizing your health.
Your insurance company may cover some of the additional expenses incurred when a routine hospital visit goes wrong, but too often patients are stuck bearing the brunt of others’ mistakes. Meeting with a medical malpractice lawyer is the first step in getting a clearer picture of your options and protecting your interests in the long run.
A medical malpractice lawsuit is also an excellent way to draw attention to service gaps and unsafe conditions in your local healthcare system. If you want to ensure others don’t suffer the same way you did, a public lawsuit is often the best way to influence positive change at the organization level.
Whatever the specifics of your case and your reasons for pursuing legal action, Shulman Rogers will treat you with respect and compassion every step of the way. Our medical malpractice lawyers serve clients throughout Maryland, D.C., Virginia and beyond. Schedule your consultation with our team by calling or emailing our office today.
