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.
BALTIMORE INJURY LAWYER
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.

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.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY BALTIMORE PERSONAL INJURY CASE? The worker’s compensation lien.
Experienced and aggressive personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD realize a trio of
situations where a worker’s compensation claim has an additional source of
recovery for his or her client within it: where an outside actor is negligent
causing injury to the employee; where a worker is hurt while using defective
machinery; and where a worker is hurt to a dangerous or defective condition on
real property. In these situations, the worker’s compensation carrier provides
benefits: lost wages and payment of medical expenses. The injured worker also
has a right of recovery against the negligent party. However, the worker’s
compensation carrier providing benefits will have a lien, or claim on, that recovery
from the third party. Personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore MD will explain the theory here is that there should not be a double recovery
for the same injury.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY BALTIMORE PERSONAL INJURY CASE? I got hurt at work. Am I limited to worker’s compensation?
Some personal injury and
accident lawyers in Baltimore, MD assume that answer is always “yes”. In another article, we’ve discussed three situations where there is the possibility of an
additional claim. One, where there is active negligence on the part of a third
party causing the injury [e.g. a Baltimore car accident occurring while someone
is on the clock] might be separately actionable as a tort or negligence
lawsuit. Of course, the possibility of an additional claim, personal injury and
accident lawyers in Baltimore well know means the corresponding possibility of
additional financial recovery for the injury victim.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE IN BALTIMORE, MD? The ceiling collapse case.
We’ve devoted a lot of
space recently to a discussion of Baltimore car accidents: their cause, those involved, and,
of course, the role of the insurance company –as all of these are significant
factors in assessing the value of any claim. Let’s shift gears for a moment.
Seasoned personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore, MD have no doubt handled, or heard of, a Baltimore ceiling collapse lawsuit. The usual scenario is
that the tenant of a building sustains injury when the plaster, drywall, or
other construction materials in the ceiling of their unit unexpectedly falls on
them. Cynics, including some personal injury and accident lawyers in Baltimore, MD, have noted there may be some individuals sitting
under a hole in their ceiling waiting for something to fall. Other, more jaded
skeptics have suggested that the Baltimore ceiling collapse case should actually be referred
to as a the Baltimore ceiling pull down case. Of course, the injured
plaintiff must be able to prove the building owner know or had reason to know
of the defective ceiling, which is often a significant hurdle. If you’ve
sustained bodily injury due to the fault of another, contact a seasoned personal
injury and accident lawyer in Baltimore, MD to determine the value of your claim.

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’ve got to be kidding me.
A number of recent posts have dealt with the collective mentality of the insurance industry, well know to Maryland car accident lawyers. One example bears some attention. AIG is a major insurer that was ‘managed’ to the extent that it needed $170 billion dollars in taxpayer capital infusion just to keep from going under. “Too big to Fail”, AIG is now 80% government owned. When it got the bailout money, designed to keep it afloat, AIG earmarked 165 million to be paid, as bonus money, to the ‘managers’ that put the business in that position to begin with! 7 high ranking executives were to get more than 3 million in bonus money. [The New York Times, 3/14/09.] Many of my Maryland car accident lawyer colleagues wondered what kind of business rewards a performance like AIG’s with bonus money?
