Baltimore Medical Malpractice Laywer and Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Attorney Sharon A. Christie Focuses on Cases Involving Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Negligence, and Social Security Disability

Have you or a loved one been harmed or hurt while in a nursing home?

Has a medical mistake damaged your health or that of a family member?

Are you unable to work because of an illness or disability?

In the United States of America, we believe in justice. But the idea of justice can seem out of reach if you are a victim of medical malpractice, nursing home mistreatment or abuse, or are battling the government for Social Security disability benefits.

My name is Sharon A. Christie, and I’d like to welcome you to my website, where you’ll discover that I’m a different kind of lawyer. As a registered nurse, I bring specialized expertise to legal cases that involve medicine. The integration of my medical knowledge in my legal practice gives me superior resources to use in representing you in the following areas:

• Medical malpractice—You should not have to endure disability, pain, harm, or the wrongful death of a loved one because of negligent care by a doctor or other health care professional. Determining whether a medical error could have been prevented involves great expertise on the part of a lawyer and medical experts. Although many lawyers claim they handle medical malpractice cases, they may not have the medical and legal background and experience to prosecute cases effectively. If you suspect you are a victim of medical negligence, please don’t wait one more day. Contact me today 410-823-8200 for a free consultation. Or click here.

• Nursing home abuse and neglect—Older patients who live in nursing homes are often frail, sick, or alone. Many are virtually defenseless against poor care, assault, physical restraint, threats, or improper medication. I believe that nursing homes should be held responsible when poor care is given to elders. If you have a family member or friend who you suspect is being mistreated or hurt in a nursing home, please call me immediately at 410-823-8200 for a free evaluation of the case or click here. It’s important for you to understand the available options that could help the patient.

• Social Security disability—People who deserve disability payments under the federal Social Security system often give up on the cumbersome process and struggle financially without receiving the benefits to which they are entitled. But Social Security disability benefits can make the difference between financial stability and tremendous financial hardship. Don’t let the bureaucracy discourage you from completing the often lengthy process. I am familiar with the laws, regulations, and procedures that must be followed to the letter in order to qualify for benefits. Be aware: Most claimants have had to appeal an initial denial in order to win Social Security disability payments. If your claim has been denied, please contact me today at 410-823-8200 for a free consultation. Or click here.

You’re Fighting an Insurance Company,
Not a Doctor, Hospital, or Nursing Home

Insurance is carried by everyone and every thing involved in medicine—whether a physician, another health care professional, a hospital, a free-standing X-ray or MRI facility, or a nursing home. So, when you sue for medical negligence or nursing home abuse, don’t think for a moment that anyone besides you and me cares about your well-being. You are fighting an insurance company, and neither “caring” nor “doing the right thing” is a high priority in the insurance industry.

Insurers’ priorities lie in the area of fiscal success. Recent record profits?in 2005 insurers reported a $44.8 billion profit--make insurance companies tough foes with pockets of cash to use to fight patients and consumers who dare challenge them. In addition, insurers are financing a huge lobbying effort to limit the liability of medical professionals. The success of these lobbying efforts, joined by wrong-minded politicians and the medical establishment, are hacking away at patients’ rights to pursue justice through the legal system.

When you’re up against these odds, you must have the best legal representation. I have built my practice around securing the highest possible compensation for people with valid cases who decided to take legal action to hold their health care providers responsible for the harm they caused.

Social Security Disabilty:
Don’t Take “No” for an Answer

If you’ve applied for Social Security disability benefits, odds are that your claim has been denied. Please don’t give up. People with legitimate illnesses and disabilities often get turned down twice and then must go before a judge to obtain benefits. If you have filed a claim and been denied,  I will help you gather evidence of your medical problems, build strong documentation that proves your disability or illness according to the government’s standards, and determine the best way to present your case. I will work with you to maximize your chance of success.

I Know Medicine and I know the Law

My focus is on handling the claims of people who are being hurt by the system—whether the medical system, the nursing home industry, or the government. As a lawyer, I have received an AVsuperior rating, the highest ranking possible in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory.
