If you’ve been injured by someone else, you may have a personal injury claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Meeting with a Maryland personal injury lawyer is the best way to get your claim evaluated, but generally you must meet the following criteria to have a successful personal injury claim:
- You were injured
- You suffered damages
- Someone else was at fault
Personal accident claims can arise from car accidents, work accidents, medical malpractice or any other circumstances where someone owed you a duty of care and failed to meet that obligation. You may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
The compensation you will be able to recover depends on the extent of your damage, the time needed for recovery, and the impact the accident will have on your future. Personal accident claims can include injuries like:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Wrongful death
Suffering with your injuries is painful enough, but knowing that someone else’s negligence altered your life can make you feel helpless and angry. Talking with a lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and get you on the path to physical and financial recovery.
