How much will it cost me to file a personal injury case?

You pay no attorney fees in a personal injury case unless and until your attorney recovers money for you.

The insurance company offered me a settlement. Why do I need a lawyer?

The insurance company is not on your side. Their job is to make your claim go away as quickly and for as little money as possible. Your own attorney works to make sure you receive what you deserve.

How long after my accident do I have to pursue compensation?

All cases in Maryland are governed by a statute of limitations, which may vary depending on the facts and circumstances of your specific claim. You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after you have been injured to inquire as to the statute of limitations applicable to your case.

Do I have to go to court if I file a personal injury claim?

Not necessarily. Most cases can be settled without a trial, and insurance companies often prefer to avoid going to trial against an experienced attorney.
