About Lauren Geisser
Lauren M. Geisser focuses on catastrophic injury, personal injury, automobile accidents, and employment litigation. She handles hundreds of cases annually and consistently obtains verdicts and judgments larger than what insurance companies offered her clients. She has been recognized by judges as fierce, well prepared, and thorough at trial. She also represents employees in matters involving the Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act claims, and Maryland wage and hour claims.
Her background in civil engineering, earned through a B.S. from Pennsylvania State University before law school, gives her a useful perspective on premises liability matters. She received her J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law. She was selected as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in Maryland from 2013 to 2017 (top 2.5% of lawyers in the state) and serves on the Baltimore City Bar Association's Lawyer Referral and Information Services Committee.
Proven verdicts and settlements at Gilman & Bedigian
These results are credited to Gilman & Bedigian. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.
A Philadelphia jury returned a $182.7 million verdict, later reaching $207.6 million with interest and upheld through the Pennsylvania Superior Court in July 2025, against the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for a 45-minute delay in performing a C-section on a mother with a known uterine infection, leaving her child with permanent cerebral palsy.
A Philadelphia jury awarded $108.6 million to a boy who suffered permanent brain damage during a December 2018 forceps delivery at Einstein Medical Center, in a case tried by Gilman & Bedigian against Jefferson Health. Jefferson has vowed to appeal, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is already reviewing the same liability doctrines in the firm's earlier $183 million Penn Medicine verdict, so the award is far from final.
A Baltimore City jury awarded $55 million after Johns Hopkins Hospital delayed an emergency cesarean section for more than two hours following a home-birth transfer, leaving infant Enzo Martinez with permanent cerebral palsy and profound neurological injuries.
A Baltimore County jury found that University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center performed an unjustified emergency cesarean section on a mother showing no confirmed signs of labor, delivering her son at 23 weeks and causing severe brain damage that will require lifelong care.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
