What Can a Baltimore Personal Injury Attorney Do for My Case?

After an accident, you’re likely facing a difficult physical and mental recovery, battles with insurance adjusters, mounting bills, and a lot of uncertainty about your future. Trying to manage all of this on your own probably feels unmanageable.

At Greenberg Law Offices, we firmly believe you deserve space to focus on healing. When you turn to us to manage your personal injury claim, we’ll focus on protecting your rights and fighting for the compensation you deserve. Since our founding in 1966, we’ve taken pride in being skilled negotiators and aggressive litigators who approach every case with a willingness to go to trial and do whatever is necessary to maximize our clients’ recovery.

For three generations, Greenberg Law Offices has been committed to treating our clients in Baltimore and throughout Maryland like family. We know injury accidents affect your whole family. That’s why when we sit down for our initial consultation, we want to meet with you and your loved ones together. We want to understand your situation, how the accident has impacted you and your family, and what needs to happen for all of you to heal and move forward.

Further, our lawyers understand the immense financial stress you may face following an accident. You have medical bills to pay and less money to pay them due to being off work. Worse, insurance carriers are known for offering low-ball settlement offers because they know accident victims are in a vulnerable position. At Greenberg Law Offices, we want to lessen your burden, so we cover all upfront costs of your legal action. Our attorney fees get paid as a percentage of your award at the conclusion of your case, allowing you to get high-quality legal representation without the pressure of paying out-of-pocket costs. And unlike other attorneys, we focus on getting you justice, not a quick payday for an amount that the insurance company thinks is good.

Let our family help your family. Reach out right away to share your story and learn more about how we’ll fight for the personal injury compensation you deserve.

What Should I Do After a Car Crash?

If you’ve been involved in an automobile crash, your safety and well-being come first. Call 911 and try to remain safe while you are waiting for the police and paramedics to arrive. If possible, get the insurance information of all the people involved in the crash, including witnesses. If you are able, take photos of the scene and the vehicles involved.

Once it is safe to leave, seek medical attention, if necessary. Understand that some injuries may not be apparent right away, so if the pain gets worse, see a doctor or go to the hospital or an urgent care facility. Avoid admitting fault or apologizing. Do not speak with an insurance company without calling your skilled attorney at the Greenberg Law Offices. The aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our firm is here to protect your rights, deal with insurance companies, and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

What Compensation Could I Be Entitled to in a Personal Injury Case?

You may be entitled to compensation for your losses following an injury accident. A personal injury claim aims to make you financially whole by covering both your economic and non-economic losses. The amount you can recover will depend on such factors as the severity of your injuries and their impact on your daily life. In general, however, you may be eligible to pursue and recover compensation for the following:

• Current, ongoing, and anticipated future medical expenses
• Lost income, including loss of future earnings, if your injuries prevent you from working
• Expenses associated with home modifications necessitated by your injuries
• Home medical equipment costs
• Loss of quality and enjoyment of life
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident, such as vehicle repair/replacement

Can I Still Get Compensation If I Was Partly to Blame for My Injuries?

Maryland is one of a few states left in our country that follows the doctrine of pure contributory negligence in personal injury cases. This means that if you bear any responsibility whatsoever for causing the accident that injured you, the court may bar you from recovering any compensation. Insurance companies and defendants in these cases will often try to take advantage of this rule and avoid making payouts to injured parties by arguing that victims’ own negligence contributed to their harm.

The contributory negligence law is one major reason why it’s so necessary to have an experienced Baltimore personal injury attorney on your side. We at Greenberg Law Offices know how to fight back against unfair blame-shifting tactics by conducting thorough investigations and building compelling arguments for our clients. Our team knows how to challenge defense lawyers’ attempts to twist the facts, and we can work to prove that the other party was entirely responsible for your injuries and you’re entitled to compensation.

How Long Do I Have in Maryland to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Maryland law establishes a strict three-year deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits, starting on the date of your injury. If you miss this deadline, the court will likely bar you from seeking compensation and you’ll have no legal recourse against the at-fault party. Further, if you were injured by a state or local government employee, like a police officer, there are other requirements that you must comply with in a short period of time or you may not be able to obtain justice for your case. So time is of the essence in seeking help from a skilled and knowledgeable attorney who can protect you or your loved one’s rights.

There are also certain exceptions that may apply in cases involving minors or injuries that were not immediately discoverable. While we at Greenberg Law Offices can determine the exact deadline for your case, it’s always important to contact us immediately after an accident to help the investigation process go as smoothly as possible. Critical evidence may deteriorate or get lost or destroyed if too much time passes.

How Long Does a Typical Personal Injury Case Last?

The duration of a personal injury case in Maryland can vary widely. Some may settle in as little as a few weeks or months, but we focus on obtaining the appropriate and fair amount for you and your case, and never rush to accept a low offer. Also, complex cases can take a year or more to resolve. It all depends on the specifics of the case, but some of the factors that can affect the timeline include the following:

• Severity of Injuries – More serious injuries often require more extensive and time-consuming medical treatment, which can delay settlement negotiations. Permanent injuries also require different experts, which help explain to a jury why your life has been affected by the injuries.
• Liability Disputes – If the at-fault party contests responsibility, it may take longer to conduct further investigation and build more robust legal arguments.
• Insurance Company Cooperation – While some insurers act in good faith, others may delay or deny claims or try to pressure victims into accepting lower settlements than they deserve. At Greenberg Law Offices, we know how to seek damages against an insurance company for not acting in good faith.
• Settlement vs. Trial – Cases that settle out of court resolve much more quickly than those that go to trial. Busy dockets can also extend litigation timelines. However, you need lawyers who understand that while no one wants to wait for their case to resolve, the insurance companies typically want to delay in the hopes that you agree to settle for less than the fair value of your case. Sometimes not accepting an insurance company’s low offer early on in the case will result in a higher settlement later.

At Greenberg Law Offices, we understand the most important outcome is that we get justice for you. We never rush settlement because we need to move a case along, but rather fight until we get a fair and just outcome. When you meet with a Baltimore personal injury lawyer from our law firm, we can assess your case to determine how your particular personal injury case could go.

What Are Common Personal Injury Cases?

Accidents can happen anywhere in Baltimore or throughout Maryland, such as in urban, suburban, or rural settings or on private, commercial, or public properties. Incidents causing harm can also occur in the workplace, the operating room, or during encounters with law enforcement. Wherever the venue or whatever the reason, the standard for personal injury accidents is that they caused substantial harm to someone due to no fault of their own, and the accident victim(s) deserves compensation and accountability.
