Birth Injuries
When there is an expected birth in the family, it should be a time of joy and excitement. However, with the rate of birth injuries in the United States, that joy and excitement can turn to worry and fear for the health and wellness of the child or the mother. At MFM, we are birth injury lawyers who know what to do in each situation, whether the injury was a result of medical malpractice, inadequate prenatal care, or complications during labor.
The most common types of birth injuries include brain injuries and related neurological conditions, bone fractures and nerve damage, and bodily injuries. In some cases, instruments used during delivery can cause or contribute to the injury of a newborn. Our attorneys can answer any questions you have regarding birth injury law and ensure you receive proper representation.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can cause serious harm to an individual, but the person may not realize that their injury or condition was caused or exacerbated by medical error until several months or even years later. At MFM, we understand the severity of medical malpractice, along with the complexity of pursuing a case against a medical provider. It can be difficult to prove that a medical procedure led to your current situation, but our attorneys know how to prepare a solid case that presents the facts.
There are several different types of medical malpractice, including misdiagnosis, medication errors, lack of informed consent, and surgical mistakes. If you feel that you are suffering from pain or a condition brought about by medical malpractice, please contact our law firm today.
Personal Injury
Personal injury law can cover a lot of scenarios, and our expert lawyers have knowledge and experience in all types of cases. No matter if you were injured by slipping and falling or through the negligence of another individual, we can make sure your rights are protected. It’s important to understand your legal basis for filing a personal injury claim, including establishing proof that another person is at fault for your injury. Personal injury cases fall under civil law, and you may be entitled to compensation, based on your injuries.
Damages that are awarded in a personal injury case can include reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. In Maryland, punitive damages can also be awarded at the discretion of the judge or jury, and often occur in cases of malicious acts or gross negligence.
Police Brutality
Police brutality and misconduct cases can be challenging and complex, which is why it’s best to have an experienced attorney. In order to prove that a police officer violated a person’s constitutional rights, caused injury, or exceeded the reasonable bounds of their jurisdiction, sufficient evidence must be provided. Police misconduct can include false arrest, racial profiling, perjury, and other illegal acts. If you feel that you have been a victim of police brutality or misconduct, it’s important to speak with a lawyer right away.
Police misconduct can lead to serious civil rights violations, and when this occurs, it can break the trust between police departments and the community. If you find yourself witnessing or becoming involved in an occurrence of police brutality, be sure to take photos and set aside any evidence that could be key to the case. Ask for the names and phone numbers of any other witnesses, and make sure to write down any important details regarding the incident.
At Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, we believe in protecting the rights of those who have suffered injuries due to others’ negligence.
