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

Filing A Maryland Car Accident Claim for a Personal Injury

When people decide to file their own Maryland car accident claims it can be frustrating and bewildering, mainly because it’s not something you do everyday. While most of us have heard about car accident claims from lawyer commercials or advertising, many of us don’t pay attention, mainly because it’s not something you expect will happen to you. The problem is that car accidents don’t discriminate; anyone at anytime can be involved in a car crash. It is critical to understand, if you or a love one is involved in a car accident in Maryland, as a victim you are entitled to compensation to pay for injuries and damages related to the car wreck. Some people find themselves unable to fully understand how to file an injury claim for their accident. If you are one of those people you are among the millions of other people each year that have been in these sorts of accidents.

There are really two viable options you face as a victim of a car accident. The first option is to settle your compensation claim with the insurance company. As everyone already knows, insurance companies are set-up to make a profit, so you’re probably not as likely to receive full compensation for your injury. If you happen to watch the news, search the internet, or read the paper you will see that insurance companies are making all time high profits. This could be related to the increase in insurance rates and the decrease in payouts. If you do decide to work directly with the insurance company you should always take in consideration that their first offer is likely not their best offer.

The second option is to hire a Maryland car accident lawyer that is familiar with handling car accident claims in MD. Why is it important to consider option 2? First, when hiring a lawyer that handles auto accident claims, you know the person that is representing you probably has the experience in dealing with insurance companies. This means they are more likely able to negotiate with insurance company’s to get you full compensation for your injury. Second, the attorney you hire will know the best plan of action in getting you full compensation for your injuries or injury. Third, if you and your attorney feel the compensation the insurance company is offering is unfair, your lawyer can take the claim to court and fight for more money on your behalf. Fortunately you can get all the help you need with the representation from our Maryland car accident lawyers, without paying upfront fees, such as filing fees and court costs. In fact, if we are not successful in getting you compensation for the injury, we don’t receive payment at all. Our Maryland car accident attorneys work strictly on a contingent fee basis which means if you don’t get paid for your accident, our attorneys don’t get paid.

Motor vehicle accident and injury claims are possible for; injury or death resulting from automobile accidents, public transportation like buses or subways, SUV, Tractor Trailers, trucks and other type of vehicles. There are also cases which we represent innocent pedestrians that have been injured or killed by an automobile accident in Maryland.

So what constitutes our clients to receive compensation for their injuries? Compensation is provided for pain and suffering, loss of wages, loss of job, medical expenses, cost for therapy, property damages, out of pocket expenses and cost of transportation to name a few.

While a car accident can be one of the most traumatic experiences you will ever face, it’s important for the victim to fully understand his or her rights. It is an unfortunate event when someone has been injured or killed due to the negligence of another and it’s something that is never expected. It is extremely stressful and a decision to hire the best representation possible could ultimately make or break a family.
