What is the deadline to file a personal injury claim in Maryland?

Generally, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland.

Is court required, or can cases settle?

Many cases settle out of court through negotiation or mediation. But if an acceptable deal isn’t reached, we are fully prepared to litigate on your behalf.

Do I have to pay anything upfront to get started?

No. We use a contingency-fee model — you pay only if we recover money for you.

What if I can’t come to your office?

If you’re hospitalized, recovering at home, or otherwise unable to travel, we’ll make accommodations (home visits, hospital calls, etc.) to ensure you’re represented.
