Maryland’s Complex Liability Rules

Maryland is one of five jurisdictions that use a pure contributory negligence standard. Under this doctrine, anyone responsible for an accident is barred from claiming compensation.

The contributory negligence doctrine can severely impact your claim. Even one percent liability will deny you the compensation you deserve. Insurance companies know this, and some may try to pin liability on you to avoid a payout.

In some cases, Maryland victims can plead the last chance doctrine. Under this doctrine, even someone partially at fault can claim compensation when they prove that the defendant had the last opportunity to prevent the accident. Additionally, in car accident cases, failure to wear a seat belt is not considered negligence.

Common liable parties in personal injury cases include:

  • a negligent driver who is distracted or violates traffic laws
  • a business that fails to adequately warn customers about a slippery surface
  • a medical provider who dismisses symptoms and fails to diagnose a patient

Maryland’s strict liability doctrine can complicate personal injury cases. If an insurance company claims you share liability, call Regan Zambri Long right away. Our Maryland personal injury lawyers will ensure your rights are protected.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Maryland

Any time another person’s actions cause you injury or property damage, you should consult a Maryland personal injury attorney. In most scenarios, you are owed a legal duty of care. When this duty is breached, and injury occurs, the responsible party can be proven negligent.

Some of the most common personal injury claims Regan Zambri Long handles in Maryland include:

Maryland Car Accidents

According to the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland experienced 110,340 crashes and 323 deaths in 2023. Drivers are required to:

  • Obey traffic laws
  • Refrain from distracted or aggressive driving
  • Not drive drunk or drowsy
  • Adjust for road and weather conditions

Failure to follow these and other requirements can cause a car crash. Crashes are also caused by poorly maintained roads, poorly designed roads, and inadequate signage.

If you or a loved one were involved in a car accident anywhere in Maryland, a Maryland car accident attorney can help.

Truck Accidents in Maryland

Truckers and trucking companies are held to additional safety standards regarding driving time and driver qualifications. Sixty-one fatal truck crashes occurred in Maryland in 2022. Truck accidents are often catastrophic due to the size and weight discrepancy between passenger vehicles and trucks.

If you are involved in a truck accident, a Maryland truck accident lawyer at Regan Zambri Long will investigate your case to determine liability and prove negligence.

Medical Malpractice in Maryland Health Facilities

Medical professionals and facilities are responsible for providing quality medical care to all patients. Unfortunately, medical malpractice still occurs. The most recent estimates put annual preventable deaths between 235,000 and 440,000. Common medical malpractice cases include:

  • Surgical errors
  • Anesthesia and medication errors
  • Failure to diagnose
  • Delayed and misdiagnosis
  • Birth injuries
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect

Premises Liability Cases in Maryland

Businesses, landlords, and property owners can be held liable for accidents on their premises. Slips, falls, and dog bites are some of the most common premises liability cases. Owners and managers can also be held responsible for inadequate security, property hazards, and poor maintenance.

Maryland Product Liability Claims

Designers, manufacturers, and distributors are responsible for ensuring products are safe for consumption or use. Product liability cases include:

  • Food poisoning from prepackaged goods
  • Toys, tools, or other products that have inadequate warning labels
  • Items that are faulty in design or production

Product liability covers a wide range of accidents and injuries. An experienced personal injury lawyer will help you prove that the product was defective and caused your injuries.

Catastrophic Injuries Caused in Maryland Accidents

Many accidents can cause debilitating injuries. A catastrophic injury is defined as one from which the victim can never fully recover. They can include:

  • paralysis
  • disfigurement
  • loss of a limb
  • permanent disability

These injuries often come with hefty medical bills and significant lifestyle adjustments. Victims may be unable to return to work. Family members may need to be full-time caregivers and make significant accommodations to homes and vehicles. In these situations, many injury victims depend on the financial recovery an MD personal injury lawyer claims.

Maryland Wrongful Death Claims

Money cannot replace a loved one. However, the death of a loved one can create a financial burden on surviving family members. A wrongful death claim can provide financial relief and emotional closure. It may also help prevent others from suffering the same tragedy. A personal injury lawyer can help you recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, the lost wages your loved one would have earned, and the loss of companionship.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys handle many other types of personal injury claims, including:

When someone else’s negligence causes you injury, you need a personal injury attorney. Regan Zambri Long’s Maryland injury lawyers will meet with you today for a free case review to determine if you have a claim.

Understanding Compensation and Insurance in Maryland

Fair compensation should account for all your losses and damages caused by an accident.

Economic damages include:

Non-economic damages include:

In some exceptional cases, a jury might award punitive damages. This money is not compensation for physical injuries but acts as a punishment against the liable party. Punitive damages are awarded at the jury’s discretion and are not guaranteed in personal injury matters.

Once your lawyer has compiled your injury claim, they will negotiate a settlement with the insurance company. This involves outlining your case and requesting a specific amount of money. These negotiations can go back and forth until an agreement is reached or a formal injury lawsuit is filed.

If you’ve started your personal injury claim and received a settlement offer, it is wise to consult with an attorney before accepting.

Understanding the value of a personal injury case can be difficult. Call Regan Zambri Long to find out what your case could be worth.

The Maryland Personal Injury Legal Process

During your initial case evaluation, your personal injury lawyer will discuss your situation and legal options. At Regan Zambri Long, a case evaluation comes with no strings attached. We advise you of your rights and are here to help. If you choose not to pursue legal action, we respect your decision.

Once you’ve chosen to proceed with a personal injury case, your lawyer will collect evidence and statements proving the liable party is legally responsible for your injuries.

Filing an injury claim in Maryland begins when you notify the liable party of your injury and intent to recover compensation. Once your lawyer has investigated the accident, they will send a settlement package outlining your claim and requesting financial compensation equivalent to your damages.

Maryland law gives accident victims three years to file a personal injury claim. While this may seem like a long time, it will pass quickly. Your attorney will build a strong case and value your claim during this time. You will also work with your medical provider to determine the maximum physical recovery possible.

Settlement negotiations often consist of several rounds of back-and-forth. Insurance adjusters and companies will often offer a lowball settlement initially. While this can be discouraging, do not give up. Your experienced injury lawyers know how much your claim is worth and will not settle for anything less.

If negotiations fail, your lawyers will start preparing for a civil trial. This will include a discovery phase where evidence is shared between legal representation. Your Maryland injury lawyers will devise a strategy for presenting your case and holding the at-fault party responsible.

If you and your lawyer are unhappy with a jury verdict, you may choose to file an appeal. Your lawyer will file the paperwork with the trial court to have the case transferred to the court of special appeals, where your trial lawyers will present your case and argue why the verdict is unfair. The court will then render a decision.

Every personal injury case differs, but Regan Zambri Long can help you understand what to expect. Schedule an initial consultation with our Maryland personal injury lawyers today.
