Get Started on Your Personal Injury Case Before the Legal Deadline Arrives

Just like every other state, Maryland has a time limit regarding personal injury lawsuits. You have:

• Three years from the time of your accident to file most personal injury cases, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101.
• Three years from the date of your loved one’s death if you are filing a wrongful death case on someone else’s behalf, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904. 
• Five years from the time of the incident or three years from the date of discovery to file a medical malpractice case, as stated in Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-109. Additional extensions may exist if the victim was a minor.

These are general rules, and they apply to most personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases. However, there can be exceptions. The Glen Burnie personal injury attorneys from MD Accident Law can inform you about the statutory deadline for your case. Our team will monitor this deadline so that we can file your lawsuit on time.

Pursuing Compensation for Your Damages in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Under Maryland law, you can pursue damages from the responsible party. No family should be forced to take extreme measures, such as paying thousands of dollars in medical expenses or putting themselves in debt, to treat an injury someone else caused.

Adam M. Smallow wants to help you by fighting for fair compensation. Some of the damages you can pursue with your injury claim may include:

• Medical costs, such as doctor bills, emergency room fees, surgery costs, hospital stay invoices, pharmacy costs, and costs for medical equipment
• Lost wages due to missing work because of your injury
• Diminished earning capacity, if your injury will prevent you from earning the same salary as you did before the accident, resulting in a diminished standard of living for your dependents
• Property damage, such as if the motor vehicle that your family depends on for transportation was damaged or destroyed
• Non-economic damages, which can include pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, and loss of independence

Pursuing a Fair Value for Your Glen Burnie Accident

The above is not a comprehensive list of available damages, as you may have more expenses and losses to deal with as a result of your injuries. The total amount you can pursue with your injury claim will depend on the details of your case. Every accident is different, but our personal injury law firm can help figure out a fair compensation package for your situation.

To find out what your case is worth and how you can pursue the financial compensation you deserve, call MD Accident Law today for a free initial consultation. We will not accept a low settlement offer just to end your case quickly. Instead, we fight for everything your family needs.

Who Is Liable in a Personal Injury Case?

We handle several types of personal injury cases, including:

• Glen Burnie car accident cases
• Glen Burnie motorcycle accident cases
• Glen Burnie truck accident cases
• Glen Burnie medical malpractice cases
• Glen Burnie premises liability cases
• Glen Burnie wrongful death cases
• Glen Burnie pedestrian accident cases

These types of cases all come with different sets of potential liable parties and ways to prove liability. The key to a personal injury lawsuit is being able to show that someone else was responsible for what happened. There does not need to be malice or willful misbehavior on the defendant’s part. Negligence can also cause liability.

Establishing Negligence in a Glen Burnie Personal Injury Case

In your case, you and our accident injury law firm will need to demonstrate that your accident happened because of someone else’s negligent or reckless behavior. We can do this by establishing the key elements of negligence:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care to keep you from harm on, for example, the road or their property.
• The defendant breached this duty of care based on their actions or neglect.
• This breach caused an accident that you were involved in.
• You suffered injuries and other damages as a result of this accident.

Examples of Negligence-Related Personal Injuries

Below are some hypothetical examples of how Glen Burnie residents may sustain injuries that justify filing a legal action:

• Person A is hit on the Arundel Expressway because Person B was texting and driving. This is an example of distracted driving, a negligent behavior.
• Person C goes shopping at Harundale Plaza. They slip and fall in a shop that did not post warning signs about a slippery floor. In this case, the individual store or the mall itself may be at fault.
• Person D is hit by a truck on MD-2 because the overworked truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. Liability in this case could be split between the driver and the trucking company.

When you are ready to learn about the merits of your case, Adam M. Smallow is here to listen.
