Maryland Injury Lawyer

One of the preliminary issues to be resolved as a Maryland injury lawyer deals with the issue of venue. The venue refers to the location where suit should properly be filed as required by Maryland law. Generally, any civil action which would include automobile accident cases are filed in the count the where the defendant lives or where he works. Additionally pursuant to the courts and judicial proceedings article 6 – 202 (eight) also permits an additional venue in the county where the automobile accident actually happened. If you encounter a situation where the at fault party is a Corporation, then the Corporation can be sued where it maintains its principal office in the state of Maryland or where he carries on any rate or business. Whenever you have a automobile accident case where there are multiple at fault parties then venue may be established by filing suit in a county in which any one of the at fault defendants can be sued or of course in the county where the accident occurred. The choice of venue is a very important consideration in serious accident cases which will be tried by jury. Other considerations are issues of convenience to the parties and the witness and the history of favorable verdicts from the juries in the various venues.

Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer

As a Maryland personal injury lawyer I am called upon to evaluate the personal injury cases every day. Each analysis starts at the same point, initially, as we investigate the liability. Who is at fault? Generally liability is imposed in automobile accident cases when the driver of the other vehicle drives in a careless manner and causes injury to the plaintiff. To maintain proof of liability the plaintiff must prove a duty owed to the plaintiff; a breach of that duty by the defendant; a causal connection between the breach and the injury as well as damages.

Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage

If you don’t have it you probably need it. What is it? Adequate car insurance. Really, yup I said it. But the fact is I represent people injured in automobile accidents. Sometimes the driver at fault has no insurance or inadequate insure to cover the cost of damages. I mean in most every case lost wages, medical bills, future medical bills, future lost wages, it’s a lot of money. That can leave the inured without compensation for the injury. Not good. There is a fix. You can protect yourself in advance with your own insurance. But you have to have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if you carry that coverage, Good. If not Bad. Check with your insurance carrier and consider your reading this a sign that you should act now.

Rear End Accidents

Aside from the medical malpractice claims my office also represents clients who have been involved in automobile accidents. The knee-jerk reaction for most people is to assume that if you run into the back of another vehicle you are negligent by definition. However the law in the state of Maryland has made clear that the mere happening of a rear end collision is not proof of negligence. The driver of the front vehicle must exercise ordinary care not to stop or slow up without giving the other driver adequate warning of his intention to do so. While it is true the driver of the rear vehicle must also exercise ordinary care to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front. If you been involved in an automobile accident please feel free to call me directly and I will investigate the case for you to determine not only the liability but also the damages and the insurance coverage.
