Proving a Personal Injury Case in Maryland
In order to be successful when you take your personal injury case to court in Maryland, you generally have to prove that the person responsible for your injury was negligent and that they are legally responsible to provide you with compensation. Your personal injury lawyer in Maryland must prove the following elements in court:
- The Defendant Owed You A Duty
- The Defendant Breached That Duty
- You Suffered Injuries/Other Damages
- The Defendant’s Breach Was The Proximate Cause Of Your Damages
If you’re trying to prove that someone was negligent and responsible for the injuries you suffered in a car accident case, for example, you would need to prove all of the above elements. In Maryland, the simple act of being an insured driver on the road automatically satisfies the first element. All drivers in Maryland have a duty to drive safely and follow the traffic laws in order to avoid injuring other drivers. Therefore, all drivers have a duty to reasonably protect other drivers on the road whenever they get behind the wheel.
Proving that the other driver breached this duty can sometimes be very simple, such as if the driver was texting and driving or was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In other circumstances, it can be more difficult to prove a breach. If there aren’t any witnesses or video footage that can help determine who was at fault for the accident, more investigation might need to be done. For example, if you hire a personal injury lawyer in Maryland, it might be necessary for them to consult with an expert who can reconstruct the scene of the accident and determine who was at fault.
If you’re able to get over the hurdle of proving that there was a breach, it’s usually a bit easier to prove that you suffered actual injuries and that the injuries were a result of the car accident. Anytime you’re in an accident, it’s a good idea to go to the hospital right away. Even if you don’t think you have any serious trauma, you might be suffering internal injuries that you aren’t aware of. It’s helpful to have all of this documented in the event that you decide to move forward with a lawsuit in the future.

What should I do immediately after being injured in an accident in Maryland?
If you've been injured in a Maryland accident, your top priority should be ensuring your safety. Assess yourself and others for any injuries, and even if they appear minor, call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
Follow all medical advice healthcare professionals give, whether at the scene or in a hospital. Stick to the recommended treatments and keep thorough records of your medical care. If your personal injury claim goes to trial, these records can help establish the full extent of your damages and show that you took your injuries seriously. Most importantly, following medical treatments should help you recover and move forward.
If you are able, use your phone to take photos and videos at the accident scene, capturing vehicle damage, road conditions, visible injuries, traffic signals, and any other details that may be relevant to your case.
Exchange contact and insurance details with the other party involved. Additionally, gather the names, phone numbers, and statements of any witnesses who observed the accident.
After that, file a police report. This official incident record can serve as crucial evidence when filing your claim. When speaking with officers, be honest and provide only factual details.
Then, report the accident to your insurer. Be honest, but avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you later.
Finally, consult a personal injury lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Reaching out to an experienced attorney as soon as possible can help safeguard your rights, collect crucial evidence, and navigate the complexities of filing a claim. A lawyer will also ensure you comply with Maryland’s legal deadlines.
Morgan & Morgan provides free case evaluations to help you understand your rights and guide you through the next steps.

How do I know if I have a case under Maryland law?
You might be entitled to compensation if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence. We want to ensure everyone can access information and get justice, so you can simply contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation to learn more about your legal options. Our team can review the details of your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
To pursue a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to demonstrate that another party’s negligence directly caused your injuries. This requires proving the following essential elements:
- Duty of Care: The other party had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and safely, such as obeying traffic laws or maintaining a hazard-free property.
- Breach of Duty: The other party failed to meet that duty of care through their actions or inactions (e.g., speeding, failing to fix a hazard).
- Causation: There must be a clear connection between the breach of duty and your injuries. You must demonstrate that their actions directly caused your harm.
- Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses from the accident.
The best way to determine if you have a valid case is to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. They can help you evaluate the specifics of your situation, gather and analyze evidence, understand your rights and options under Maryland law, and guide you through the legal process.
How long after an injury in Maryland can I file my claim?
The amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. However, exceptions, such as in cases involving minors, government entities, or when the injury wasn’t discovered immediately, may apply.
Filing your claim promptly is essential to safeguarding your legal rights. Missing the statute of limitations deadline could result in your case being dismissed, potentially barring you from recovering compensation for your injuries.
Since deadlines can vary by state and situation, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the incident to understand the specific timeline for your case. An attorney can help ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.

What sort of compensation can I recover from a Maryland personal injury case?
Compensation from a personal injury case may vary widely depending on the specifics of your case, but generally, it may include:
Medical Expenses
You may be eligible to recover expenses for medical treatment related to your injury, including hospital bills, doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications, and any future medical care required.
Lost Wages
If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may be compensated for lost wages. This includes not only the income you have already lost but any future earnings you may be unable to earn due to your injury.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for pain and suffering covers the physical discomfort and emotional distress resulting from your injury. This may include damages for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and a diminished quality of life.
Property Damage
If the incident damaged your personal property, you may be eligible for compensation for repair or replacement costs. This often applies to cases involving car accidents, where vehicle damage is a significant factor.
Loss of Consortium
In certain situations, your spouse or family members may have the right to seek compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and services caused by your injury.
Punitive Damages
In cases where the defendant's actions were particularly egregious or reckless, you might be awarded punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
Disability and Disfigurement
Suppose your injury has led to a long-term or permanent disability or disfigurement. In that case, you may be eligible for compensation to address its effects on your ability to work, carry out daily activities, and cope with the emotional challenges of such life-altering changes.
Other Related Expenses
You may also be eligible to recover additional expenses related to your injury, including transportation costs for medical appointments, home modifications to accommodate a disability, and the cost of assistive devices such as wheelchairs.
Every case is unique, and the specific compensation you may recover will depend on the circumstances of your injury and the extent of your damages. At Morgan & Morgan, our experienced attorneys will thoroughly assess your case and fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What happens after I submit my personal injury claim in Maryland?
After you submit your personal injury claim in Maryland, the insurance company for the at-fault party will review it. The insurance company will appoint a claims adjuster to manage your case, investigate the accident details, review documentation, and assess the extent of your injuries. The adjuster may collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other pertinent information to determine liability and calculate damages.
The insurance company will carefully examine all submitted documents, including medical records, accident reports, and other relevant evidence. To better understand the incident, they may contact witnesses, seek expert opinions, or conduct site visits.
After gathering evidence, the insurance adjuster will evaluate your claim based on a liability assessment and a damage calculation. The insurance company will typically extend a settlement offer based on their evaluation. This offer may be lower than what you might expect or need. It’s crucial to carefully review this offer, as it may not fully cover all your damages. If the initial offer falls short, your Morgan & Morgan personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf to seek a fair settlement that accurately reflects the true value of your claim.
Negotiations often involve ongoing discussions between your attorney and the insurance adjuster. Your attorney may submit a counteroffer based on your assessed damages, leading to further exchanges until both parties reach a fair agreement. If a satisfactory settlement cannot be achieved, filing a lawsuit may be necessary.
Will my personal injury case in Maryland go to trial or settle out of court?
Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. Depending on the facts, settling out of court can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve a case.
Whether your case settles or proceeds to trial depends on various factors, such as the strength of the evidence, the other party's willingness to negotiate, and your personal preferences. At Morgan & Morgan, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are ready to fight for the maximum compensation possible. Our personal injury attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
How long does a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland take to resolve?
The length of a personal injury lawsuit depends on factors such as case complexity, injury severity, and the parties' willingness to settle. While some cases may be resolved within months, others can take years, particularly if they proceed to trial.
