    Maryland Medical Malpractice Lawyer

    Placing your trust in a medical provider is scary. We hope and expect that our doctors will perform capably, the way they were instructed, adhering to the recognized standard of care. The question becomes, where to turn for help and guidance when the medical provider fails and does more harm than good. When a loved one is seriously injured as a result of medical negligence. If a loved one suffered a Birth Injury or serious medical malpractice at Johns Hopkins Hospital or any other medical facility in Maryland or Washington D.C. we invite you to call our top-rated Birth Injury and Medical Malpractice team to discuss your situation.  Our boutique medical malpractice firm is headed by Mr. Carlos Stecco.

    Mr. Stecco has a long track record of medical malpractice experience on both sides of the field.  He now brings that extensive experience to bear solely for the benefit of those hurt and injured by medical negligence. Mr. Stecco worked for years as house counsel at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. While at Hopkins he thoroughly learned the defense playbook as he reviewed and defended cases involving Hopkins hospital, its physicians, and medical providers.  In addition to defending medical negligence cases at Hopkins, Mr. Stecco also worked for one of Maryland’s largest and most successful medical malpractice defense law firms.

    The importance of Mr. Stecco’s extensive prior experience gleaned from years of defending hospitals and doctors cannot be overstated.  When it comes to highstakes medical malpractice litigation, the defense spares no expense to protect their corporate insurance money.  When the damage has been done to an infant at birth or to an injured adult, often times the medical injury requires tremendous resources just to cover the cost of ongoing care. Despite the negligence in causing the injury, hospitals and medical providers will spend untold amounts of money to cover up, point blame elsewhere and hide from their responsibility. Mr. Stecco is intimately aware of how the corporate insurance companies operate and he knows how to effectively combat them.  Mr. Stecco and his malpractice team exclusively protect and pursue the rights of birth injured children and injured victims of medical negligence throughout Maryland and Washington D.C.  Their malpractice team handles a variety of malpractice matters including:

    If you are concerned that a loved one has been injured as a result of medical care, we are happy to speak with you about what happened. If we believe you have a case, we will obtain medical records, at no cost to you, and provide a deeper evaluation.  Even if your doctor or another lawyer has suggested that there is no case or nothing could have been done, give us call; we may find something they did not see as we may look at your situation differently. One call to Stecco Law will only take a few minutes and could change everything.   There is never a charge to discuss your case and if we think we can help you, your case will be handled on a contingency fee basis- meaning no out of pocket cost to you.

      BIRTH INJURY & MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS IN BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON, DC

      Birth Injury cases caused by medical malpractice and medical negligence are very difficult on a number of levels.  The medical providers routinely do everything they can to cover up their negligent acts of malpractice and the medicine involved in birth injury cases is very complicated.  Birth Injury cases such as Cerebral Palsy, Erp’s Palsy, Brachial Plexus, Shoulder Distocia or any other type of birth injury requires a very specialized knowledge as well as an array of medical experts to prove the medical malpractice in court.

      Baltimore birth injury attorney Carlos Stecco has been successfully pursuing birth injury and medical malpractice cases for years.  Because birth injury cases are so complicated and expensive to bring to court, your decision regarding which attorney to retain to protect your family is extremely important.  Mr. Stecco prides himself on having very close relationships with his clients. He personally represents the malpractice cases that the firm accepts and you will speak with Mr. Stecco when you contact the office for a free, no obligation consultation.  If Mr. Stecco believes he can successfully pursue a case on your behalf, there is never a fee or cost until your case is successfully resolved.

      ELDER ABUSE & NEGLECT IN MARYLAND AND WASHINGTON, DC

      Nursing homes and assisted living facilities play an important role in the lives of our seniors.  Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have a solemn responsibility to our loved ones.  Their job is to provide the level of care and warmth that the family would provide if we were able.  When these corporate facilities fail in their responsibility to our elders, they must be held accountable.  They must be held accountable for the injuries they inflict on our loved ones and they must be deterred from future negligent or abusive care. It is important that corporate profits are never placed above the needs of their residents.

      Stecco Law, P.C. fights for the rights of nursing home patients who are harmed by the negligent or abusive care of these facilities. When the facility fails to properly supervise their employees, fails to properly screen the employees, or fails to have sufficient staff to handle their resident’s needs,  bad things result.  If you or a loved one has suffered significant injury or abuse at the hands of a corporate elder facility, call Stecoo Law today for a free evaluation of your case.

      AT YOUR SIDE WHEN YOU NEED US MOST

      In the grief that follows the loss of a loved one, you may wonder whether a medical care provider could have caused or prevented the death.

      At Stecco Law, P.C., our Maryland and Washington, DC wrongful death attorneys meet with families who have the same questions. We help families sort through the convoluted facts and determine whether they have a case.  While this is not always an easy process, the families of lost loved ones need to understand exactly what happened in order to have closure.  The run around provided by the medical provider only serves to make the situation worse. The attorneys at Stecco Law can cut through the excuses and misdirection and get to the the truth for you and your family.

      If you have a sense that negligence may have played a role in a serious injury or loss of a loved on, we can help.  Important evidence such as witnesses and medical records get lost over time. So while Maryland’s statute of limitations on medical malpractice cases is generally three years, it is important to contact an attorney as early as possible following a serious injury to preserve all evidence. Evidence that will be necessary to prove your case in a court of law.

      WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES?

      Families look forward to having a child; they look forward to a beautiful experience resulting in a healthy baby. However, sometimes birth injuries occur, marring what parents hoped would be a joyous occasion and changing their lives forever. When a birth injury is caused by a needless medical error or medical negligence, you need to consult an attorney for a thorough evaluation of what actually happened (not what the doctor told you happened) and discuss the options available to you and your family moving forward. At Stecco Law, P.C., we advocate for families who are dealing with birth injuries caused by medical malpractice or neglect.

      A brachial plexus injury results in substantial weakness or loss of control or movement of an affected arm that was injured during the birth process. The brachial plexus is a bundle of nerves running from the neck down to the shoulder. This birth injury often occurs as a result of shoulder dystocia during childbirth. This is when the fetus’ shoulder gets caught under the mother’s pelvic bone while it is in the birth canal and the doctor continues to try to pull the baby out causing permanent damage instead of converting to a C-section. It can also occur during breech presentation, when instead of the head presenting first which is normal, the feet emerge first from the birth canal, and there is increased pressure on the baby’s arms during delivery. This type of birth injury is more common with large babies and small mothers.

      INFANT BRAIN DAMAGE RESULTING FROM BIRTH INJURY

      According to Healthgrades.com, seven per 1,000 births in the United States involves a birth injury, but when it is your baby that has suffered irreversible and permanent brain damage secondary to medical malpractice or medical negligence, statistics mean little. The lifetime financial needs of a brain damaged infant or child are staggering. You need justice for the wrongdoing and financial compensation to help with the staggering life time expense. The responsible medical providers must be held accountable for the negligence that resulted in permanent injury to your baby; it is important not only in your case, but also to deter future malpractice.  At Stecco Law, P.C., we have the experience and knowledge to help. Were Mr. Stecco once defended hospitals and doctors such as John’s Hopkins Hospital, now Mr. Stecco solely represents the needs of seriously injured victims and their families.

      BALTIMORE, WASHINGTON, DC AND PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY CEREBRAL PALSY LAWYERS

       

      Cerebral Palsy is a brain disorder that affects motor skills. Some Cerebral Palsy cases develop in utero of natural causes, others are caused by severe illness or infection, and some are caused negligently by oxygen deprivation or other avoidable injury during the childbirth process.  Cerebral Palsy affects the nerves that control the muscles, so those that suffer from it have various kinds of permanent disabilities, including impaired fine and gross motor skills, speech and vision difficulties, learning disabilities, seizure disorders and lifetime cognitive impairments.

      When the parents of a child receive the devastating diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy (CP), the parents are eager to learn if the child was born with the condition as a natural consequence of birth or if the disease was caused as a result of a medical mistake during the birth process. That is, if this life threatening condition was totally avoidable with proper obstetric and medical care.  At Stecco Law, P.C., we know how devastating a birth injury is and we are prepared to sit with you, review the records and figure out what happened. We stand by our clients and guide them through the complicated process of obtaining fair and reasonable compensation for these devastating injuries and many times the work we do and the results we obtain are the difference between financial ruin and a comfortable future for the child and family.

      Words simply fail to describe how amazing Mr. Stecco is. He was kind, involved, and persistent with ensuring that me and my family got the full compensation we needed for our disabled child. Pursuing a malpractice case is an emotional time but Mr. Stecco saw us through with very appropriate results.
