In a previous chapter, I discussed the general three year statute of limitations for a negligence action. The three years starts to run from the date of the wrongful conduct. A seasoned Baltimore personal injury lawyer is aware that this three years may be "tolled" for a time [i.e. it does not start to run], e.g. in the case of injury to a minor. But what is someone does not initially know they have been injured? Imagine a situation where the symptoms of the injury do not appear until years later. In certain circumstances, Baltimore personal injury lawyers have successfully argued that the limitations period should not start until the plaintiff discovered –or reasonably should have discovered- the injury and the wrongful conduct.
The "value" of a claim –the amount of money your entitled to recover, is based on many factors: if you are entitled to recover, from whom, the coverage, medical expenses, lost wages, costs of litigation, pain, suffering, anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and the venue of the case. I've recovered millions for people who have sustained serious bodily injury. I offer my Maryland personal injury victims a reduced attorney fee program, allowing them to retain a greater percentage of their award.
