Informed Consent Malpractice Lawsuits in Maryland

This page will examine medical malpractice lawsuits based on the theory of a lack of informed consent by the doctor or healthcare provider. In non-emergency situations, doctors are required to obtain a patient’s informed consent before rendering any type of medical treatment or performing any sort of procedure. If they fail to obtain informed consent, the doctor can be held liable for medical malpractice.

Lack of Informed Consent Claims

In Maryland, the law requires doctors and healthcare providers to fully explain any proposed treatment or medical procedure to the patient before moving forward. This includes a duty to explain both the benefits of the procedure or treatment, and to warn the patient of any material risks or dangers inherent in the therapy or procedure. The explanation from the doctor must enable the patient to reasonably understand the risks and benefits and make an intelligent and informed choice about whether or not to undergo such treatment.

New York Sex Abuse Lawsuits and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Victims of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both their abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

New York Personal Injury Lawsuits: Settlement Amounts, Verdicts, & Key Laws

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

According to a study on jury verdicts, the median compensatory damages award for personal injury trials in New York is $287,628. This median award dwarfs the nationwide median of $34,550.

That is obviously very high compared to most jurisdictions. Why? First, New York has favorable juries, particularly in its urban areas. But the reality is that New York’s no-fault law also distorts this number. Under New York’s no-fault system, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists can usually recover up to $50,000 in basic economic loss from no-fault insurance, regardless of who caused the crash. These benefits can cover medical expenses, lost earnings, and certain other economic losses, but they do not compensate victims for pain and suffering.

That means many smaller car accident claims never become personal injury lawsuits. To recover pain and suffering damages after a New York car accident, the injured person usually must prove a serious injury under New York Insurance Law Section 5102(d). This leads to fewer lawsuits in smaller cases, which increases the average and median award among the cases that actually get tried.

Truvada Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.
