If I am hurt, how long do I have to decided whether to hire a personal injury lawyer and file a case?

This varies state to state, Maryland law states, "a civil action at law shall be filed within three years from the date it accrues, unless another provision of the Code provides a different timeframe." It's important to note that preparing a case takes time—you may need specialized medical care, diagnostic reports, or evaluations of long-term damages, and possibly arrange travel for treatment. As long as you're within the three-year window, you can file a personal injury case, but seeking legal advice early is crucial to avoid missing the deadline and forfeiting your rights.

How much money can I get in a personal injury case?

The compensation awarded in a personal injury lawsuit typically depends on the severity of the injury and its impact on the victim’s life, both now and in the future. The value of a case can also be influenced by the degree of negligence of all parties involved, including the injured person. Compensation aims to cover all related damages, such as current and future medical expenses, permanent impairment, lost wages, loss of future earnings, funeral expenses, loss of financial contributions, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. The goal is to ensure that victims and their families receive the care and support they are entitled to under the law.
