This makes big rig trucks very dangerous. Serious injuries and fatalities are more likely in truck-related collisions than in accidents involving standard passenger vehicles only. This is why large commercial trucks are required to carry high-limit liability insurance coverage.  But the limits are not high enough to give truck accident victims in many cases.Common Causes for Big Rig Truck AccidentsAccidents with big trucks can happen for all the same reasons as any other auto accident. But the unique nature of big trucks and the commercial trucking industry make certain types of accidents more common. Common accident causes that are unique to the trucking industry include:Continue reading The untimely death of a family member or someone you love can be devastating, both emotionally and economically. This type of loss can be even harder to accept when it was caused by someone else’s negligence. Fortunately, our civil legal system gives you the ability to do something about this by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.The Maryland wrongful death lawyers at Miller Zois help the survivors hold people accountable for the death of their family member and get financial compensation for their loss. Wrongful death lawsuits are often misunderstood, and our office gets a lot of questions about this topic. In this post, we will go over three key facts that you need to know about Maryland wrongful death lawsuits.Definition of “Wrongful Death” Under Maryland LawContinue reading Our lawyers are now investigating Zantac lawsuits in all 50 states.   The evidence seems clear to our attorneys that  Zantac is causing many types of cancer.  Zantac lawsuits are now consolidated in a class-action federal court in Florida.  So,  if you file a Zantac claim in federal court, your lawsuit will wind up in Florida.  There is a widespread belief among mass tort attorneys that these MDL class action claims could be worth billions of dollars.Zantac is a hugely popular drug that millions of people in the U.S. use to treat heartburn, acid reflux, and similar conditions. In September 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcing that dangerously high levels of a human carcinogen called NDMA have been found in Zantac.This means that millions of people who have been taking Zantac may have been regularly ingesting a chemical notorious for causing cancer. Moreover, drug manufacturers may have known about this risk. And said nothing.Continue reading Defense lawyers are often obsessed with getting the victim s mental health records.  They rarely bear the juicy fruit they seek.  But this does not deter them.In St. Luke Institute Inc. v. Jones (No. 62, Sept. Term 2019), the Maryland Court of Appeals laid out a step-by-step roadmap for when and how litigants can get confidential mental health records in civil discovery.The process for getting confidential mental health records in civil discovery are now as follows:Continue reading My law firm limits its law practice to personal injury cases on behalf of victims.  We started our firm in 2002, on a shoestring, a wing, and a prayer, we had potentially lucrative opportunities to jump out to handle other types of case.Was I tempted?  I was tempted.  But personal injury is our true wheelhouse and we stayed there.  But over the last 18 years, we have handled many different types of personal injury cases.What is personal injury? The term “personal injury case” is sort of an umbrella phrase that refers to any type of tort lawsuit in which a plaintiff has been physically injured and is suing someone for compensation. There are many different types or categories of personal injury claims under this umbrella. They range from very simple slip and fall cases to extremely complex medical malpractice cases.Continue reading here is no law in Maryland requiring shoes or prohibiting certain types of footwear while driving. However, driving while barefoot or wearing shoes such as high heels or flip-flops can be unsafe. Improper footwear affects your ability to apply pressure to your pedals or pivot between them. They can even cause you to hit both pedals at once.Shoes to Avoid While DrivingYou should avoid wearing the following types of shoes while driving. These shoes can impair your ability to control your vehicle’s pedals.Continue readingThe reason women do not report sexual harassment is their fear of retaliation from the harasser and her employer.  This is particularly true when the harasser has a position of power within the organization.Juries are made up mostly of people in the workplace.  So they get it.  Jurors often side with the victim in discrimination cases where there is evidence of retaliation for reporting sexual harassment and the organization did nothing to stop it.There are two types of workplace harassment under federal law:  sexual harassment and retaliatory harassment. This post focus on retaliation.Continue reading States are split on whether tort liability may be imposed on local governments for police brutality/excessive force/misconduct cases.  Some states permit the imposition of tort liability for their police officers intentional actions while on the job.   Some refuse to impose tort liability, arguing that such conduct is not within the scope of employment.  The Maryland Court of Appeals issued a new opinion that stakes out Maryland s position on this issue with newfound clarity.At issue in Baltimore City Police Dept. v. Potts, 468 Md. 265 (2020) was criminal misconduct by Baltimore City police officers could be considered actions within the scope of their employment under the Local Government Tort Claims Act (“LGTCA”).  The misconduct here was next level.  Stopping suspects without probable cause, assaulting them, and planting handguns on suspects to give them grounds for arrest.Maryland’s Court of Appeals held that these actions were within the scope of the officer’s employment because they were done in furtherance of police business and incidental to authorized police conduct. Therefore, the Police Department could be held liable under the LGTCA.Continue reading The qui tam lawyers at my firm represent corporate whistleblowers in lawsuits under the False Claims Act involving fraud and other illegal schemes.Under the Federal False Claims Act (FCA) and the Maryland False Claims Act (MFCA), anyone with direct knowledge of corporate fraud that is costing the government money can file a lawsuit against and earn a percentage of any money recovered.These types of whistleblower lawsuits by private citizens on behalf of the government are known as “qui tam” lawsuits.Continue reading In Billing v. Moulsdale, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals overturned a defense verdict and granted the plaintiff a new trial in malpractice lawsuit on damages only.What the doctor was found to have done as a matter of law is pretty gross doctor are pretty gross.  Essentially, and you can read the case if you want all the details, the doctor performed a breast and vaginal exam on a patient that was completely unrelated to the care he was providing.Was this a onetime thing?  It never is.  Dr. Moulsdale surrendered his medical license after more women than just the plaintiff accused him of performing unwarranted and unnecessary breast, pelvic and rectal examinations on several female patients.Continue readingThanks for visiting the Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog.
