Jud Lipowitz and Paul Schwab from our firm, along with Judge Vicki Ballou-Watts and Christopher M. McNally, led a seminar at the MSBA Conference in Ocean City entitled "The Hazards of the Maryland Wrongful Death Law: What's Wrong with this Picture (And How to Fix It)" that was well attended and very well received.  Jud spoke as the attorney for victims' families and Paul addressed matters related to the victims' estates and the estates' survival action claims.  The topics covered included:

              Maryland's Wrongful Death Statute

              Survival Actions in Maryland

              Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct Applicable to Wrongful Death Actions

              Pattern Jury Instructions

              Non-economic Damages Caps

              The Estate's Survival Action

              Sample Complaint
