According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 139 million emergency room visits in the United States in 2017. The emergency room is full of pressure and doctors and nurses often have to make quick and accurate decisions in potentially life-threatening situations. Competent doctors and nurses are often able to save lives, but sometimes negligence and failures occur in emergency rooms and people die. This is known as medical malpractice due to emergency room errors. At Sasscer, Clagett & Bucher, our medical malpractice team will listen to the details of your case and provide you with counsel.

If you have a question about an emergency room error, we invite you to call 301-627-5500 or email our office to arrange a consultation with one of our medical malpractice lawyers. We serve clients throughout Maryland from offices in Upper Marlboro and La Plata.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is moving out of downtown D.C. and relocating to unused 104-acre site at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center that sits along Powder Mill Road — about halfway between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Maryland Route 201.

“The facility in Washington is more than 100 years old, very inefficient for 21st century manufacturing,” said Len Olijar, the bureau’s director. A building that was state of the art when it opened in 1914 now “is a very challenging facility for us to produce in,” he said.

The new building will cost about $1.5 billion, and some work on the site has already began. The state has already started preparing for traffic improvements that will be needed when 850 new employees start going there for work. Those first occupants probably won’t move in until 2026, with full occupancy — and the first line of production with currency — expected a year later.

James “Jim” R. Bucher, after serving in the Army during the Korean War and graduating from the law school at Catholic University (1958), joined Sasscer, Clagett & Bucher in 1958. Jim took on a wide and rich variety of cases, ranging from will contests, complicated tax disputes, toxic tort, catastrophic injuries or routine real estate closings. His interest in practicing in many diverse areas made him a valuable resource for other firm members. His trademarks were collegiality, professionalism, honor, trust and commitment. Jim retired from active practice in 2002, but continued to advise and mentor until he passed in 2009.

Henry “Hal” C.B. Clagett was born and raised in Upper Marlboro. After graduating from Princeton in 1938, he went to Georgetown Law School for two years. Anticipating the coming war, he became a flying cadet and eventually became a highly decorated pilot in the South Pacific during WWII.

On return from the War, Hal finished his final year at Georgetown Law School. In 1947, he joined Lansdale Sasscer and J. Dudley Digges at Sasscer & Digges in Upper Marlboro. He practiced law at the firm, and managed to pursue a life-long interest in the thoroughbred horse industry and participate in bar association activities, leading to his service as President of the Maryland State Bar Association.

A life-long skilled raconteur, the courtroom was a comfortable place for Hal to ply his considerable skills. He retired from the active practice of law in 2000.
