Statute Of Limitations For Personal Injury Cases
In Baltimore, as with the rest of Maryland, you generally have three years from the injury date to file a lawsuit.
This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. If this statute of limitations expires, you may be barred from recovering compensation.
Contributory Negligence And Determining Fault In Car Crashes
Every personal injury case requires carefully examining who was at fault and to what degree. Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule when it comes to car crashes and other injury claims. This means that if a court finds the injured person negligent in any way, they cannot recover any damages. Proving the other party was solely negligent is crucial to maximizing your potential compensation.
Answering Common Personal Injury Questions
After suffering physical injuries, you likely have many questions about your rights and options. Below, we provide clear answers to some of the most common questions we hear from the injured in Maryland.
What are my options after suffering an injury at work?
If you were injured at work, you likely have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim. The first step is to report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. You should also seek a medical opinion to strengthen your claim, which can provide medical benefits and wage replacement for work-related injuries.
However, if your injury was caused by a third party – other than a co-worker or employer – you may have grounds for a personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ comp claim. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help you understand your options and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What steps should I take after a car accident?
After a car accident, your safety and well-being come first. Move to a safe location if possible and call emergency services if anyone is injured. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver, but avoid discussing fault or making statements that could be used against you.
Take photos of the accident scene, your vehicle and any injuries. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Finally, contact an injury attorney to discuss your case and protect your rights.
Why work with a personal injury attorney?
The guidance of a knowledgeable injury lawyer can dramatically impact the outcome of your case. Our attorneys understand the complexities of Maryland personal injury law and can guide you through any required legal procedures.
We can also help with gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies and representing you in court if necessary. Assistance from the right law firm can prevent you from making mistakes with your claim and help to ensure you receive the full amount of compensation your injuries warrant.
