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.
