Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Maryland

We Have the Experience, Resources & Skill You Need

If you’ve suffered significant harm due to another person's or organization’s negligence or deliberate choices, you may be the victim of a personal injury. Maryland personal injury law allows victims to sue those who harmed them in any way — physically, financially, emotionally, or otherwise — for money to compensate them for those harms.

No one expects to be injured on the job or to be involved in a car accident when they begin their day. However, personal injury accidents occur more often than people think. Depending on the type and severity of the accident, they can be devastating to an individual and their family.

When a serious accident disrupts your life, you may not know where to turn. Alpert Schreyer Poe, LLC is here to help! We represent clients in injury claims arising from a wide variety of accidents, and we have been serving the injured for over 30 years.

Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Most personal injury cases stem from someone else’s negligence, meaning that had the proper precautions been taken, the accident that caused the injury would not have occurred. Individuals and companies have a duty of care to act responsibily and if they breach their duty and cause injury, the law deems them to be negligent and liable for the damages they caused.

The elements of negligence in a personal injury claim are:

• Duty of care - you were owed a legal duty by the defendant.
• Breach of duty - the defendant failed to uphold their duty either intentionally or through negligence.
• Cause of breach - the actions (in actions) of the defendant directly caused your injury.
• Damages - the breach of duty caused you or your loved one to suffer harm (physical or emotional).

Proving liability can be a daunting task for an injured person to accomplish on their own. Contacting a dedicated injury attorney who knows the law inside and out can help you understand your legal rights and options. In addition, a lawyer will be able to meticulously examine your personal injury case.
