A Maryland Plaintiff Personal Injury Lawyer Here To Fight For Your Interests

Most people who find themselves in need of an attorney are usually in a predicament. Whether your life is on the line, financial security, or both, you’re likely unsure where to turn.

I am personal injury attorney Elan Rafael, and I help individuals in Baltimore and surrounding communities recover compensation after a personal injury. I often assist injured parties and loved ones with.

Beware: Insurance Companies Are Not On Your Side

Insurance companies are often involved in many personal injury claims as they are responsible for paying out compensation to those injured in the incident. However, it’s important to know that they are not on your side – regardless of their nice, sincere or compassionate demeanor.

Insurance companies are operating like any other business. They want to make money. They are not in the business to pay out expensive claims. Many insurance adjusters will often contact an injured party after an accident and offer them what they feel is a lucrative settlement offer.

Unfortunately, such offers are far from substantial and far from what you need or are entitled to recover.

It may seem tempting to take the offer but, in many cases, the amount of compensation does not take into account expenses for future medical expenses, like unexpected surgeries, rehabilitative care or lost wages from extensive time off of work.
