An Annapolis trial attorney will face a $300,000 negligence lawsuit brought by a former client who alleges the attorney’s failure to disclose an expert witness doomed his personal injury case against the state of Maryland.
The lawsuit, filed in Baltimore City Circuit Court on Monday, further claims that Paul S. Blumenthal violated the Maryland Lawyers’ Rules of Professional Conduct by not explaining to his client, David Harding, the significance of his failure to disclose the witness.
Harding had retained Blumenthal to represent him after he was injured in a 2006 motorcycle accident he said was caused by a sinkhole formed after a section of the state highway he was driving on collapsed.
