For more than 40 years, our law firm has delivered outstanding client service in motor vehicle accident litigation throughout Maryland. We are especially effective in cases that involve disputes over the extent of the injured party's losses, the availability or amount of insurance coverage, or the relative fault of each driver involved in the accident.
An Attorney's Advice Can Protect the Value of Your Personal Injury Claim
In cases where you feel that there is no legitimate dispute as to the other driver's liability, it can be tempting to think that you can settle the case yourself. Nevertheless, you should be aware that proof of liability or fault is rarely the greatest obstacle to fair compensation for accident injuries.
Most self-represented claimants run into trouble when an insurance company — the other driver's or their own — insists on detailed proof of damages, complete with full medical documentation. Unless you know how to present evidence of loss through qualified experts on disputed damages claims, you are vulnerable to low settlement offers that you will be in no position to contest effectively.
Insurance companies settle accident claims at their fair value only when they understand that the plaintiff is willing and able to prove those claims in court over defense opposition. The more valuable your claim happens to be, the tougher the opposition. Even in relatively small accident claims, however, you cannot expect an insurer to go out of its way to point out the different kinds of losses that may be covered under a liability or uninsured motorist's policy.
