FAQs
What should I do after a car accident in Maryland?
Taking the right steps after an accident can protect your health and your legal claim:

- Exchange Information – Get contact and insurance details from all involved parties.
- Avoid Admitting Fault – Let investigators determine responsibility.
- Speak to a Lawyer Before the Insurance Company – Insurers may try to undervalue your claim.

- Medical Expenses – Hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future care
- Lost Wages – Time off work and potential loss of future earnings
- Pain & Suffering – Emotional distress, trauma, and diminished quality of life
- Vehicle Repairs – Compensation for property damage or vehicle replacement
- Wrongful Death Damages – Funeral costs and financial support for grieving families

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Maryland?
Maryland law sets a three-year statute of limitations for most auto accident claims, meaning you must file within three years from the date of the crash. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Should I talk to the insurance company after my accident?
No. Insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind and may try to settle for far less than you deserve. Before speaking with an adjuster or signing anything, consult with an attorney who can handle negotiations and protect your claim.
Do I need a lawyer for my car accident claim?
While you can file a claim on your own, having an experienced auto accident lawyer on your side significantly improves your chances of a higher settlement. We handle everything, from investigating the accident and gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and, if necessary, taking your case to court.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our fees are only collected if we win your case. If we don’t secure compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
