Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer

Being injured in an accident can take a huge toll on your life. Your physical and mental health may be suffering as well as your finances. Personal injuries can vary widely, from a traumatic brain injury to a fractured bone. It can be helpful to seek assistance from a personal injury attorney in any case.

A Maryland personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow knows how traumatic it can be to be injured in an accident. We are readily available to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

What Is My Maryland Personal Injury Case Worth?

The amount of compensation you can receive for a personal injury claim can vary based on the case’s circumstances. Financial awards for those who have suffered injuries or other losses are referred to as “damages.” In a personal injury case, a plaintiff could seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages include the financial contributions the plaintiff paid because of injuries they suffered from the accident. Non-economic losses are less tangible and can sometimes be more challenging to calculate. They are still important to consider because of the impact they have on someone’s life. An attorney from our firm will calculate the monetary amount for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.

Damages You Could Recover

After an accident injures you, you could receive compensation for recoverable damages, which include: 

  • Medical expenses: These include ambulance rides, emergency room treatment, hospital stays, doctor’s appointments, medication and treatment costs, among others. Keep all bills and documentation related to the medical treatment you received for the injury.
  • Lost wages: If you missed work without pay while recovering from the injuries you sustained, we can add your lost income to your claim. You can also sue for lost earning capacity if you lost your job or can’t work in the same capacity because of your injuries. 
  • Pain and suffering: Emotional side effects, such as anxiety or depression, can be included in a personal injury claim. These damages can be harder to prove, but our attorney can help with this task. We must prove that your pain and suffering are directly related to a specific injury the accident caused or worsened.
  • Punitive damages: These types of damages are a financial punishment for the defendant to pay for the behavior that led to the plaintiff’s physical harm.

How Can I Prove a Personal Injury Case?

Before you can be awarded compensation for your personal injury, you must prove the defendant caused your injury. The evidence in your case must prove the defendant was negligent, which harmed you. Here are the four elements we must prove to establish that negligence occurred: 

  • Duty of care: This is the defendant’s legal responsibility to use reasonable care to keep others safe.
  • Breach of duty: If a defendant fails to exercise reasonable care, this is a breach of duty. An example of a breach is a motorist who texts while driving.
  • Causation: It must be proven that the defendant’s negligent actions caused the incident that resulted in injury.
  • Damages: You suffered compensatory damages because of the accident.

Deadline to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Maryland

In Maryland, there is limited time to file a personal injury lawsuit. The Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101 states you have three years from the date of the accident or incident to file. An attorney at the Law Offices of Adam. M. Smallow can walk you through the timeline of your case and make sure you don’t miss a deadline. Once the deadline passes, you will no longer be able to seek compensation for your injuries.
