The law in Maryland requires each person to exercise reasonable care in the course of their everyday conduct. If a person should breach this standard of reasonable care and that breach causes injury, then the wrongdoer may be held liable for the injury or damages their conduct has caused.
DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR BREACH OF THE STANDARD OF CARE
REIMBURSEMENT OF LOST WAGES
REIMBURSEMENT FOR MEDICAL COST
Medical cost include past, present and future medical cost. Often times (depending whether your case is filed in the circuit court or the district court) a medical expert is required to prove the medical cost portion of your damages. As such your expert must prove the cost are fair, reasonable, necessary and causally connected to the injury arising from the accident. These damages must be proven with reasonable certainty and can not be speculative. The need for future medical care must be proven with evidence that the future care is not less then fifty percent likely to be needed in the future Pierce v Johns-Manville Sales Corp 464 A2d 1020 (1983).
