If you or a loved one is involved in an auto accident, it is important to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as the injury has become recognized. This is because Maryland imposes a time limit, called a statute of limitations, in which you are able to file a personal injury lawsuit. This limit is active in all six counties in which we are located. Most Maryland personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the accident, while some circumstances even shorten that period. Therefore, the urgency for a Maryland personal injury professional is important to a strong case. Beginning at the scene of the accident, the victim can contribute to building a strong case. It is important that after you have sought safety to identify and remember the other drivers involved in the accident and to retain any witness. Getting details, remaining at the scene, and even taking pictures (if possible) are also important for the case. Even if your personal injury is minor, you should still seek document medical attention for the sake of the case. The more immediate and intense the care, the better case your will have. For instance, if you twist your ankle in an auto accident, do not simply assume it is merely a twisted ankle. Go the emergency room as soon as possible and document your visit. Follow-up visits with a family doctor also add credibility to your case.
Most Maryland personal injury cases consist of three compensation categories: pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages. Under the collateral source rule in Maryland, medical bill compensation can be sought regardless of whether the personal injury was covered by insurance or not. This means that even if your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covers medical bills and lost wages, you may still be reimbursed.
After an initial overview, a personal injury case actually requires little of a client's time. Personal injury lawyers care for most of the legal issues, allowing the victim to recover from their personal injury. Personal injury lawyers at Belsky, Weinberg, and Horowitz are aware of the strategy of insurance company lawyers to defend their negligent drivers in order to avoid being fined. Belsky, Weinberg, and Horowitz are here to help you receive optimal compensation as well as optimal recovery for your personal injury claim.
