Liability In Maryland Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
While doctors can be held personally liable for medical malpractice, hospitals and other health care facilities can also be found negligent in certain situations. In general, if the individual who commits malpractice is an employee of the hospital — such as a nurse or orderly — the hospital can be held responsible for their negligence. Many doctors are independently contracted but treat patients in the hospital — if they commit negligence, the hospital is not liable. Additionally, if a hospital employee committed medical malpractice under the orders of an independently contracted doctor, the hospital may not be liable. Since the regulations are quite complicated, it is always important to consult a knowledgeable medical malpractice lawyer before taking any legal action.
