Maryland's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of injury. However, there are important exceptions — claims involving government entities, minors, or medical malpractice may have different deadlines. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as early as possible to ensure you don't miss any filing deadlines that could affect your right to compensation.
Maryland is one of a few states that follows the contributory negligence doctrine. This means that if you are found to be even partially at fault for your injury — even 1% — you may be barred from recovering any compensation. This makes it especially important to have experienced legal representation who can build a strong case demonstrating the other party's full liability.
At Heritage Harbor Law, personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we don't win your case, you don't owe us attorney's fees. The initial consultation is always free, so there's no financial risk in exploring your options.
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available. We'll evaluate the full scope of your damages during our initial assessment.
In most cases, no. Initial settlement offers from insurance companies are typically far lower than the true value of your claim. Insurers know that injured individuals may be under financial pressure and will sometimes accept less than they deserve. An attorney can evaluate the full value of your claim — including future medical needs and long-term impacts — and negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf.
