Medical professionals are entrusted with our health and well-being. But when that trust is violated through sexual misconduct, the emotional and psychological impact can be profound and lasting. In Maryland, patients who have been sexually abused by a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider have the right to pursue justice through a civil lawsuit.
Whether the abuse occurred during a routine exam, under anesthesia, or in a private consultation, our Maryland doctor sexual abuse law firm is here to help you take legal action. We represent survivors in civil claims against both individual perpetrators and the hospitals, clinics, or institutions that failed to stop them.
What Constitutes Doctor-Patient Sexual Abuse?
Doctor sexual abuse can include:
Inappropriate touching or examinations
Sexual comments or harassment during treatment
Abuse of power during physical exams
Coerced sexual acts or misconduct while under sedation
Misuse of authority to gain sexual access to patients
If any of these scenarios apply to your experience, you may have grounds for a civil lawsuit.
When Medical Institutions Are Liable
Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare systems may also be held responsible if they:
Failed to properly screen or supervise staff
Ignored prior complaints or reports of misconduct
Allowed a known offender to continue treating patients
Did not establish or enforce patient protection protocols
In these cases, survivors may be entitled to compensation for both the abuse itself and the institutional failures that enabled it.
What Compensation May Cover:
Psychological and trauma therapy
Medical costs related to the abuse
Lost wages or diminished income
Pain, suffering, and emotional harm
Punitive damages for gross negligence or cover-ups
We handle each case with absolute confidentiality and care, providing survivors with a safe and supportive legal environment.
