Big Firm Results with Small Firm Attention in Baltimore County - Spanish Translation Available

Accidents happen all the time, and not all of them necessitate legal action. However, when an accident is the result of someone else's careless, reckless, or even intentional actions, victims have a right to pursue compensation from the at-fault party.

If you or a loved one has been injured in any capacity in a preventable accident, you have the right to sue for damages. That is where our Timonium-Lutherville personal injury attorney can help.

At the Law Office of Justin A. Wallace, clients in the Baltimore area can expect personalized, one-on-one attention from a firm that is committed to delivering outstanding results. Attorney Justin A. Wallace is well-versed in Maryland’s personal injury lawsuit process and is an experienced trial lawyer who is prepared to take your claim to court.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Maryland?

According to the Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings Code section 5-101, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of Maryland is three years. The statute of limitations is a law that limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim before they lose their legal right to do so.

More specifically, this means you have three years from the date your injury occurred to file your claim, or you will lose your right to file and your right to recover compensation. It’s important to note that some exceptions exist in special circumstances that can change this time limit. The most notable exceptions include:

If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident. In these circumstances, the claimant has two years from the date of their 18^th birthday to file a claim.
If the injury victim has a condition that qualifies them as legally mentally incapacitated, they will have two years from the date they are considered legally mentally competent again.
If the alleged negligent party intentionally hides their identity in order to avoid a lawsuit, the statute of limitations is typically amended.

The statute of limitations has a significant impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s important to speak to a skilled attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as you can. Our Timonium-Lutherville personal injury attorneys offer free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting our firm today.

Is It Worth Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney?

The benefits of hiring a Timonium-Lutherville personal injury lawyer should not be overlooked when you are facing damages or a loss due to someone else's negligence. If you have been injured in an accident due to another party, hiring such a professional can help ensure that victims receive the compensation they deserve.

A personal injury lawyer will be able to review your case, advise you on what legal rights are available to you, investigate the circumstances of the incident, negotiate with insurance companies or other parties involved, and represent your best interests in court if necessary.

With this expertise on your side, you can maximize your chances of obtaining fair compensation for all injuries suffered as a result of someone else’s negligence.

Do I Need a Timonium-Lutherville Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you choose to represent yourself, then you do not need an attorney. However, if you do not hire an attorney, then you will miss out on several of the benefits mentioned above. The knowledge, experience, and skills an attorney has are indispensable.

This is especially true when you consider that every task that a lawyer usually does for a client will fall to you when you represent yourself.

Let a qualified Timonium-Lutherville personal injury lawyer help guide you through this complex process. We can help in your time of need.

Personal Injury Claims We Handle

While personal injury cases are often resolved in settlements with insurance companies, these settlements may not always give you as much as you are due. Attorney Wallace will take a look at your settlement offer to determine whether it meets your best interests or whether you can build a case for more damages in court.

Whether you are suffering from a car accident or a dog bite, Attorney Wallace will guide you through the legal process for pursuing damages for your injuries.

The Law Office of Justin A. Wallace handles a range of personal injury claims, including:

The legal team at the firm will utilize detailed methods for strategizing your claim, including consulting forensic experts, medical professionals, and other field experts. Attorney Wallace will also represent you in your insurance negotiations, after which he will take your case to civil court if the settlement is less than satisfactory for your recovery.

Grounds for Personal Injury Lawsuits

The circumstances of an accident will determine what type of personal injury lawsuit you may file (that is, on what grounds you should file your case). Some examples of negligence that may give rise to a lawsuit include:

Auto Negligence, in which a driver breaches their duty of care to operate their vehicle safely, causing the plaintiff to suffer injury.
Premises liability, in which a property or business owner breaches their duty of care to maintain safe premises, causing injury to the plaintiff.
Negligent Security, in which a business or property owner fails to take reasonable precautions to protect a plaintiff from injuries caused by the criminal actions of another.
Negligent Hiring, Training, or Supervision, in which a business fails to take reasonable steps while hiring, training, or supervising an employee or agent who caused injury to the plaintiff.

In all personal injury cases, you may be able to recover damages for a variety of losses, including past and future lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and even loss of companionship, if the accident resulted in wrongful death. Our Timonium-Lutherville personal injury lawyer can analyze the facts of your case and fight for all of the economic and non-economic damages you may be entitled to.
