About Jonathan Schochor
Jonathan Schochor is the founding partner and chairman of Schochor, Staton, Goldberg and Cardea, P.A. in Baltimore, Maryland. Practicing since 1971, he concentrates on medical negligence and catastrophic injury cases. He co-founded the firm with Kerry D. Staton in 1984.

A Harford County jury found two vascular surgeons negligent in a 2007 aortobifemoral bypass during which the patient lost nearly all of her blood volume and was left permanently paralyzed from the waist down. The jury awarded $3,557,398, and the court reduced the pain and suffering portion under Maryland's cap on non-economic damages, entering judgment for $2,874,398. The Court of Special Appeals ordered a new trial in 2012, but the Court of Appeals of Maryland reversed it in 2013 and directed that the judgment be affirmed.
