The Insurance Company Isn’t Looking Out For You

Despite insurance existing to provide coverage when their customers need it, getting a company to follow through after an accident can feel like a losing battle. It’s sad but true – you should be wary of your insurance company after an accident.

These companies use every reason or technicality imaginable to justify denying their customers’ claims. That’s why limiting your communication with your insurer as much as possible is crucial after an accident. They may use your words against you.

Baltimore, Maryland, Personal Injury FAQs

Below you will find answers to questions many of my clients ask after getting hurt in an auto accident, property incident or other Maryland personal injury:

I was offered a settlement by the insurance company. Do I really need a lawyer?

Without legal representation, you risk accepting a lowball settlement that fails to cover your losses. This is because insurance companies are primarily concerned with protecting their interests, and their initial settlement offers typically undervalue claims on purpose. I can thoroughly evaluate the details of your case, calculate the full extent of your damages and negotiate aggressively to help ensure you receive fair compensation.

What compensation can I recover from my personal injuries?

In Maryland, you may be entitled to recover several types of damages if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, including:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage

A specific assessment of your case can help you pursue maximum compensation for all applicable damages.

What if the at-fault driver in my car accident doesn’t have insurance to pay for my injuries?

Maryland mandates that all drivers carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage under their auto insurance policy. This coverage can cover your damages if the at-fault driver is uninsured or lacks enough coverage to compensate you fully. Depending on the circumstances, you could also pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the negligence party.

When can I expect to receive compensation for my auto accident injuries?

The timeline for receiving compensation after an auto accident can vary significantly based on how complex your case is and whether it goes to trial.

For example, if your case is relatively straightforward and your insurance company agrees to a fair settlement, you may receive compensation within a few months. However, if liability is disputed or the insurance company is uncooperative, it could take much longer – potentially a year or more if your case goes to trial.
