Not all personal injury cases are created equally. Each is unique. “Is My Personal Injury Case Worth More In Baltimore?” Seasoned Baltimore trial lawyers agree many factors are involved in the analysis, including where the accident happened, and where the lawsuit is filed.

Motor vehicle accident cases typically go to District Court, while more severe injury cases are usually heard in Circuit Court. The court where a trial is held can significantly impact settlement negotiations with insurance companies.
