Personal Injury

PERSONAL INJURY

Suffering an injury of any kind can be a life-altering experience, leaving you with chronic pain and disability. Depending on the circumstances, you may even be unable to return to work, and you may experience a lower quality of life overall. Personal injuries also lead to expensive medical bills in many cases. 



When you know your injury could have been prevented, the situation becomes even more frustrating. Fortunately, Maryland law allows personal injury victims to pursue settlements in these cases. 

About Personal Injury Settlements

The purpose of a personal injury settlement is to compensate victims for the losses they experience when they are injured because of someone else’s negligence. These settlements may include compensation for any and all losses related to the incident, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment

In some cases, Maryland personal injury settlements may also include punitive damages, which are designed to punish the party responsible for your injuries. These damages are typically awarded when the party that caused your injuries was behaving maliciously. 

Filing a Personal Injury Claim

Filing a successful personal injury claim can be complicated. You must be able to show that the party who caused your injuries was behaving negligently and/or maliciously. You must also be able to show evidence of all losses you experienced because of the incident. In addition, in order to protect your right to collect, you must file the claim within a specific period of time.
