WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE IN BALTIMORE MD? Criminal Injuries Compensation Board



Recently, I’ve been discussing an alternative source of recovery for victims of personal injury. Thorough personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD have advised their clients of the potential for recovery. There are some important limitations. Like Baltimore personal injury lawsuits, a claim must be filed within 3 years. There is also a provision analogous to the “notice” requirements of some tort claims. The incident must be reported to the proper authorities within 48 hours. Experienced personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD know this requirement can be waived upon a showing of good cause.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE IN BALTIMORE MD? The delayed claim, redux.



We’ve discussed in other volumes some methods of record used by insurance companies in an effort to pay less on claims. One is to delay the claim. Personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD have heard the litany of justifications: the medical expenses weren’t sent, waiting for a witness to give statement, there is a medical bill missing. Whatever the reason, a reality is that insurance company has massive assets at interest, and if they can earn interest for a while longer, they are more profitable. Personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD know the more likely reason is to put an injury victim at jeopardy. The injured person has missed work, has unpaid bills, and simply needs the funds. Delay makes that individual likely to accept less to get something.
