MD Practice
Maryland Medical Malpractice Representation
Peter Anderson handles Maryland medical malpractice and nursing home cases, including the procedural rules of Maryland's mandatory HCADRO arbitration process.
What's Different Here
How Maryland malpractice law works
The local rules affect how a case is built, what it's worth, and how quickly it has to move. Here are the ones that come up most often.
Maryland Statute of Limitations
Maryland generally requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within the earlier of three years from when the injury was discovered or five years from when it occurred. Cases involving minors have separate tolling rules.
HCADRO Arbitration
Maryland requires all medical malpractice claims to begin in the Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (HCADRO). Most claimants waive arbitration and proceed to circuit court, but the HCADRO filing and certificate-of-qualified-expert requirements are jurisdictional.
Non-Economic Damages Cap
Maryland imposes a statutory cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases that increases annually. Economic damages are not capped. The cap interaction with wrongful death claims is a frequent point of litigation.

About the data: Leapfrog grades draw on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) patient-safety indicators, CMS Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting data, and Leapfrog's own hospital survey. CMS Overall Star Ratings summarize five measure groups: mortality, safety of care, readmissions, patient experience, and timely and effective care. Neither rating is a substitute for case-specific medical-records review.
