Allegany County, particularly in areas around Interstate 68, Route 220, and Route 40, experiences significant traffic, which often leads to serious accidents.

Medical Malpractice

Our firm also represents clients in medical malpractice cases involving surgical errors, birth injuries, medication errors, hospital errors, and misdiagnosis errors. Allegany County is home to key healthcare providers, such as UPMC Western Maryland in Cumberland, as well as local facilities like Frostburg Village. Surgical errors can lead to severe complications, while birth injuries may result from negligence during labor and delivery, causing lifelong impacts on families.
