Waldorf Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Tens of Millions of Dollars Recovered Since 1978
Today, many hospitals and nursing homes seem to be more focused on their bottom lines than on healing the injured and caring for the sick and vulnerable. When the emphasis is on cutting costs and maximizing profits, errors and oversights are bound to happen.
Have you or a loved one been affected by a doctor’s error, a hospital’s oversight, or a caregiver’s negligence? Has a loved one been the victim of abuse, injury, neglect, or death in a Maryland nursing home? At Farmer & Klopfer, our Waldorf medical malpractice lawyers take an aggressive approach to medical malpractice and nursing home injury claims. We fight tirelessly to obtain results, justice, and compensation for our clients. Since 1978, our firm has filed lawsuits against some of the largest medical providers and insurance companies and their armies of attorneys—and won.

How do you find a medical malpractice attorney?
Finding the right medical malpractice attorney for your case can be daunting. To help get you started, here are the top qualities you should look for when deciding who you want to represent you:
- A history of success - You want someone who has handled other medical malpractice cases (successfully) in the past and has made meaningful recoveries for past clients.
- A medical background or resources - Due the complex nature of medical malpractice claims, you will want to ensure your attorney either has a medical background themselves, or that they have access to medical experts who can help build and support your case.
- Someone who puts your interests first - Sometimes going to trial is in your best interest, and other times it may be in your best interest to settle outside of court. It's imperative that you and your medical malpractice lawyer are on the same page about what your priorities are and are willing to make decisions based on what's best for you.

The opinions that matter Most
Read our 5-Star Reviews-
Kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable
“I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm. I felt comfortable from the minute I first walked through the door. I had less than two weeks before the expiration of my personal injury filing date and was overwhelmed. My first appointment was with Elizabeth who took my huge stack of papers with a smile and said, “Let me take care of this for you.” Although all of the staff that I encountered were wonderful, my main experience was with Mr. Farmer and Elizabeth who were both kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable. My case was handled professionally and in a timely fashion. My case was recently concluded and I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends and family in the future. Need a good law firm, no need to look further.”
