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.

MARYLAND CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER How much is awarded in a Baltimore MD wrongful death case?

A Baltimore City jury recently awarded $760,000 to the family of a woman tragically killed in a 2010 Maryland car accident. As experienced Maryland car accident lawyers know, the value of a claim is often capped by the amount of insurance. There apparently was $100,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. The amount of insurance held by the at-fault driver is unknown, but most Maryland car accident lawyers would agree it is highly unlikely that it was $660,000.

MARYLAND CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER The role of the insurance company - "You're in Good Hands"

Allstate is one of the major auto accident insurance companies in the land. Maryland car accident lawyers are familiar with the methods that Allstate uses to value, and defend against claims. Like any other business, an insurance company's profitability is dependent on taking in more money than it pays out. For an auto accident insurance company, that means paying out less in claims than it takes in premiums. Maryland car accident lawyers know well that Allstate stockowners are indeed in good hands, as Allstate pays out a whole lot less in claims than it takes in premiums. You see, Allstate posted profits of 788 million dollars in 2011, and 928 million dollars in 2010.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY BALTIMORE PERSONAL INJURY CASE? "Just tell me the formula!"

In order to get an intelligent opinion, these factors  must be assessed and analyzed by an experienced Baltimore personal injury and accident lawyer who can then give you an opinion, based on his or her experience, as to the likely value of the case. If someone is telling you something different, they are giving you bad information my friend.

HOW MUCH IS MY BALTIMORE PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH? The MTA bus accident.

Baltimore injury and accident lawyers are familiar with "bus accident" claims. There is some popular wisdom holding that any time an MTA bus makes contact with another object [e.g. another car, another bus, a sign, a light pole, or practically anything else] then the passengers on that bus are entitled to a financial recovery.  Of course, that's not the law. Like any other Baltimore injury or accident claim, a plaintiff must prove that they were, in fact, injured, and that they sustained damages, to be entitled to any type of recovery.  Not all Baltimore injury and accident lawyers handle "bus accident" claims, and others say they handle only "serious bus accident" claims- although that might be a difficult concept to define.Ask your Baltimore injury and accident lawyer about their experience in prosecuting and trying bus accident case.
