How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Baltimore?

When you get injured, we understand that the first thing on your mind will not be suing for your injuries. We also understand that your injuries may not appear immediately after the accident, and it could take some time before you realize how serious the injuries are. For many injury victims, the question then becomes one of how long you have to file a personal injury claim under the Maryland statute of limitations.

What Types of Damages Are Available in Personal Injury Lawsuits?

Damages are available to compensate injury victims and their families after many types of injury cases. In most claims, there are two categories of damages you can get: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages are those that have a financial injury involved, while non-economic damages are damages paid because of intangible harms that do not involve financial costs.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost to Hire in Baltimore?

One common question that accident victims often ask before hiring legal counsel is just how much a personal injury attorney will cost them. This question is often very important because accident victims already face medical bills and lost wages from the accident, and they may be reluctant to pay for any additional costs. Our Baltimore injury attorneys often accept cases on a “contingency fee” basis.
