Making a Personal Injury Claim For Your Car Accident in MD

I was speaking to a client last week discussing exactly how we are going to file a Maryland personal injury claim for her car accident. A car accident is no different than any other type of personal injury claim. When you are involved in an automobile accident in Maryland there are 3 areas in making a claim. The first area is establishing liability. Establishing liability or determining liability is finding out who exactly if anyone caused the accident and who is legally and financially responsible for the accident occurring. There are other instances in which we can prove the road conditions were unsafe, lack of safety warnings such as signs and other factors as well. Without establishing liability you don't have a personal injury claim. The second area is establishing the amount of damages you are entitled too as a result of the accident. This means how much compensation are you entitled too as a result of the accident? The compensation you can receive for a car accident may include loss of wages, pain and suffering, costs for repairs, medical expenses and other related costs directly resulting from an accident. Our car accident lawyers work exclusively on a contingent basis which means we don't receive payment for your car crash unless we are successful in winning compensation for you.

The final area is determining who is responsible for paying for the damages of the auto accident. Damages may be paid by the insurance company, individual or other entity. No matter the circumstance these are the 3 areas in which our attorneys look at prior to filing a personal injury claim for a car accident.

When evaluating a Maryland car accident attorney make sure of the following:
  • Experience in handling personal injury related cases, specifically car accidents
  • Experience in negotiating fair settlements with the insurance company
  • Experience in taking your injury case the distance if the insurance company decides not to pay full compensation for your injury or property damages
