Baltimore Car Accident Lawyer That Takes On Insurance Companies

Insurance companies deny, delay, and underpay car accident injury claims every day. When they do so unfairly, Baltimore City car accident cases — I stop them. I represent injured drivers and passengers throughout Baltimore’s neighborhoods, and I prepare every case with litigation in mind when carriers refuse to pay fair compensation.

What should I do after a car accident in Baltimore?

After a car accident in Baltimore, you should seek medical attention if injured, report the crash, document the scene if you can, and be cautious about speaking with insurance adjusters or the other drivers. Early, documented medical care protects your health and creates records insurers later scrutinize. Speaking with a lawyer before giving recorded statements can help prevent missteps that insurance companies often exploit.

Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If an insurance company proves that you contributed to the accident in any way, even slightly, you will be barred from recovering compensation. Because insurers aggressively look for fault-shifting arguments in Maryland accidents, early legal analysis is critical in Baltimore car accident cases.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Maryland?

Maryland law imposes strict deadlines for filing car accident injury claims. If a claim is not filed within the applicable statute of limitations, it can be permanently barred regardless of how serious the injuries are. Waiting too long also makes evidence harder to obtain and preserve. Maryland’s statute of limitations for negligence cases is 3 years and that generally applies to car accidents. There are other shorter time frames that may govern important rights for your claim.

What types of damages are available after a Baltimore car accident?

Depending on the facts, recoverable damages may include medical expenses, property damages lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care. Insurance companies frequently challenge both causation for the loss, and the amount and the necessity of these damages, especially when treatment is delayed or incomplete.

Do I really need a lawyer for a Baltimore car accident case?

Because Maryland’s contributory negligence rule is unforgiving and insurers aggressively defend claims, legal representation can make a significant difference. A lawyer can help manage evidence, address liability disputes, and push back when insurers undervalue or deny claims. If a claim is unfairly denied or underpaid a lawyer may be the only option to get the claim into court.

Will the insurance company deny or delay my car accident claim?

Insurance claim denials and delays are common in Baltimore car accident cases. Adjusters often scrutinize medical records, treatment gaps, statements, and fault issues to justify reducing or denying payment. This is part of the normal claims process, not a sign that your injuries are insignificant.

“I represent injured Baltimore residents in a relentless battle to obtain fair, just, and reasonable compensation from an insurance company who will not pay it.” (2)

Unlike some firms with similar names in their titles, I have never been, nor will I ever have a desire to become, a ‘National Law Firm” or to represent those injured in foreign jurisdictions. Don’t misunderstand- I wish my fellow Baltimore personal injury lawyers the very best in their search for national recognition, exposure, and success. My goals, my practice and my experience are more local, more focused, and more tailored.
