Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Baltimore
Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases involving serious harm caused by another party’s negligence. These Baltimore claims often arise from everyday situations that quickly turn life-changing, including:
- Motor vehicle crashes
- Unsafe property conditions
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Fatal accidents
Car Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are among the most common causes of serious injuries in Baltimore, with 35,057 crashes reported across the city and county in 2024. Of those, 143 were fatal and 9,425 caused injuries. Many of these crashes stemmed from preventable causes such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence.
Our car accident lawyers investigate every aspect of a crash to determine what happened and who is responsible. We may examine vehicle damage, consult accident reconstruction experts, collect surveillance and dashcam footage, and review phone data to establish fault. Our team uses these findings to build a strong case and hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
Motorcycle Accidents
Baltimore had 358 motorcycle crashes in 2024, 15 of which were fatal and 253 resulting in injuries. Because motorcyclists have little protection in a collision, even low-speed crashes can cause life-altering harm. Another motorist’s decision to text while driving, fail to check their blind spots, or follow a motorcycle too closely can have catastrophic consequences.
When our motorcycle accident lawyers handle these cases, we work diligently to prove that someone else is at fault. Insurance companies often place unfair blame on injured motorcyclists, and we’re ready to level the playing field with strong evidence and persistent negotiation.
Truck Accidents
Because of their sheer size and weight, commercial trucks can cause devastating damage in seconds. In Baltimore in 2024, there were 3,104 crashes involving large vehicles, including 17 with fatalities and 887 injury collisions. All too often, these crashes result from negligence on the part of the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or other party involved in the vehicle’s operations.
Many different points of failure can lead to a truck crash, from skipped safety inspections to drivers staying on the road past federal limits. Our truck accident lawyers move quickly to identify every contributing factor and preserve critical evidence such as logbooks, black box data, maintenance records, and hiring records.
Premises Liability
Property owners in Baltimore have a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur. Visitors may slip, trip, and fall on wet floors and uneven pavement, get bitten by a dog due to a broken gate, or fall victim to a violent crime due to poor lighting.
When our premises liability lawyers take on a case, we investigate how the hazard developed, how long it existed, and whether the owner took reasonable steps to prevent harm. Our team gathers evidence such as property maintenance records, inspection reports, and security footage to prove negligence and help victims pursue full compensation.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one because of someone else’s wrongdoing is one of the hardest experiences a family can endure. Countless innocent lives have been lost throughout Baltimore due to motor vehicle accidents, medical errors, unsafe property conditions, workplace incidents, and more. A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek accountability and compensation for the financial and emotional losses they’ve suffered.
As trusted wrongful death lawyers, we take the time to understand each family’s situation and help them pursue the results they need to start moving forward. While no amount of compensation can replace what was lost, our team is dedicated to helping families find a sense of stability and closure after tragedy.
Workers’ Compensation
Maryland recorded more than 41,000 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2023. Over 25,000 resulted in time off work, job transfers, or work restrictions. Sixty-nine Maryland work injuries were fatal that year.
Some of the most serious incidents occurred in construction, transportation, and warehousing. These are industries where heavy machinery, exposure to harmful substances, and other unsafe conditions create daily risks.
Most injured employees in Baltimore are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Our workers’ compensation lawyers seek the full range of benefits available under state law. When someone other than an employer is at fault for a workplace injury, we may also pursue a personal injury claim against that third party.
Other Practice Areas
Our firm represents victims of many other types of negligence, including nursing home abuse. When staff cause harm to Baltimore’s most vulnerable residents, our nursing home abuse lawyers investigate what went wrong and hold facilities responsible for the pain they’ve caused.
We also handle medical malpractice cases involving preventable errors by health care providers. From misdiagnoses to surgical mistakes, we work to uncover how these failures occurred and help patients heal.
Our attorneys advocate for pedestrians and cyclists who are injured by careless drivers. Baltimore had 1,713 non-motorist crashes in 2024, with 65 being fatal and 1,485 causing injuries.
And because Maryland sits along many waterways, we’re here to help when residents are injured in boating accidents. Whether an injury results from operator inattention, alcohol use, or unsafe conditions, our firm is committed to helping victims rebuild their lives.
Our Team Can Fight the Insurance Company for You
While it is important that your claim gets filed on time, you and your lawyer may resolve your case with a financial settlement at any point—even if your lawsuit is already in progress. Our team can calculate the monetary value of your case and advise you on the pros and cons of each financial offer you receive.
You are the only person who can authorize and accept a financial settlement. If you choose to agree to a settlement offer, you will give up your right to pursue any further compensation from the at-fault party.
You cannot request additional damages—even if your condition worsens—after your case gets settled out of court. So, it is critical to value your case as accurately as possible, which might involve waiting to see how your circumstances develop after the accident. If you accept a settlement offer too soon, you might be unaware of the full financial impact of your injuries.
Recovering Compensation After an Injury
Personal injury compensation is meant to account for everything your injury has taken from you—physically, emotionally, and financially. Our personal injury lawyers in Baltimore can help you pursue a wide range of damages, which may include:
- Medical expenses: We can seek compensation for the cost of all past, current, and future medical care related to your injury. This may include ambulance rides, surgeries, hospitalizations, doctors’ appointments, medications, and medical equipment.
- Lost income: If your injury causes you to miss work or prevents you from returning to your previous occupation, we may pursue damages for your lost wages, reduced earning power, or lost benefits.
- Property damage: Your compensation may cover the cost of repairing or replacing your property that was damaged in the incident.
- Pain and suffering: We may help you pursue compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress your injury causes.
- Other non-economic damages: You may be entitled to compensation for mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and scarring or disfigurement.
- Wrongful death damages: These can help ease the burden of a loved one’s death. Compensable losses in a wrongful death case often include funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.
Don’t Wait Too Long To Take Legal Action
If you would like to file a personal injury lawsuit in Baltimore, you generally must do so within three years of the date of the incident that caused your injuries. Known as the statute of limitations, this deadline is written into law in Maryland Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings § 5-101.
There’s a shorter deadline for taking action if you intend to file a lawsuit against a state government agency. In that case, you must submit a claim letter within a year of the incident, according to the Maryland Code, State Government § 12-106.
If you miss your case’s filing deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. The sooner you contact our attorneys after an accident, the stronger your chances of recovering what you deserve.
