Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The following are questions that I am frequently asked about medical malpractice cases.
What Compensation Can I Get?

What Will This Cost Me?
At Frank Spector Law, I advance the expenses of the lawsuit. There is no cost to you unless I get a recovery for you. The initial consultation is free.
What Went Wrong? The Doctor Won't Tell Me.
At Frank Spector Law, I hear this question from many clients. Unfortunately, when there is a bad medical outcome, many doctors don't communicate with patients and their families. The good news is that I can get an answer to this question for you through medical research, review of the medical records, and consultation with expert doctors.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is the failure of a doctor or hospital to treat a patient according to professional standards, and that failure results in injury or death of the patient. Doctors and hospitals have insurance for their errors, just like drivers have car insurance in case they don't drive carefully and cause an accident.
What Types Of Medical Malpractice Are There?
Medical malpractice can occur during any type of treatment or procedure. At Frank Spector Law, I have handled medical malpractice cases in numerous areas, including:
• Birth Injury (Brain Damage, Cerebral Palsy and Erb's Palsy)
• Wrongful Death
• Surgical Errors
• Emergency Room Mistakes
• Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis
• Anesthesia Errors
• Failure to Treat Blood Infections (Sepsis)
• Infectious Diseases
• Pulmonary Embolism (Blood Clots)
• Pediatric Malpractice
• Medication Errors
When Do I Have To Sue?
The time period to bring a lawsuit is called the statute of limitations. There are different statutes of limitations for different claims. Contact Frank Spector Law today to find out when you have to sue.

Yes. At Frank Spector Law I can help you with medical malpractice cases in every county in Maryland including Western Maryland, Central Maryland, the Washington DC suburbs, and the Eastern Shore. I am also licensed to practice in Washington, D.C.
Do I Have To Get My Medical Records?
Some lawyers will tell you to get your medical records and then call them back. This can be a costly and time consuming process. At Frank Spector Law, I will get your medical records and evaluate your claim.
My Family Member Died. Should I Request An Autopsy?
Yes! Sometimes an autopsy is required in order to obtain sufficient information to prove a medical malpractice case. There is no reason to not request one. If you are told that you cannot have one or that you have to pay for it, contact Frank Spector Law immediately.
