Hiring a personal injury attorney is your best choice after an accident. Your lawyer will handle official communications, documents, and formal legal proceedings. Some of these include:
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.
During this time, your attorney will investigate your case and assess your damages. You will also work with your medical provider to determine the maximum physical recovery possible.
When you hire a personal injury attorney from Regan Zambri Long, we will ensure that your claim is filed on time.
Any time another person’s actions cause you injury or property damage, Regan Zambri Long can take on your claim. 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 cases we handle include:
Car accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in the United States. According to the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland experienced 110,340 crashes and 323 deaths in 2023. Drivers are responsible for safety. This means:
Any time drivers fail to do any of these, they can be liable for negligence if an accident occurs.
Car crashes are also caused by poorly maintained roads, poorly designed roads, and inadequate signage. A car accident lawyer will investigate your case to determine liability and prove negligence.
Trucks are larger and heavier than passenger vehicles. This discrepancy leads to more catastrophic injuries when a truck is involved in an accident. Truckers and trucking companies are held to safety standards regarding driving time and driver qualifications. Sixty-one fatal truck crashes occurred in Maryland in 2022.
When you are involved in a truck accident, you must contact an attorney immediately. The trucking company and its insurance company will lawyer up to try to avoid paying the compensation you are owed.
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:
Designers, manufacturers, and distributors are responsible for ensuring products are safe for consumption or use. Product liability cases include:
Your legal representation will ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries caused by defective products.
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.
If an accident results in the death of a loved one, compensation covers medical treatment, funeral expenses, and money for the loss of your loved one. Money cannot replace someone, but it will ease the financial burden. A wrongful death claim can also help prevent others from suffering the same tragedy.
Our experienced attorneys handle many other types of cases. Anytime another person’s negligent actions cause injury, our law firm can help. Other accident cases we handle include:
Lawyer fees vary from firm to firm. Common pay structures for personal injury law firms are:
You may not receive the best legal counsel available when you pay a flat fee. A lawyer or firm will only work as much as the fee covers.
With an hourly rate, your legal fees can be unpredictable and be more than you can afford.
Regan Zambri Long uses a contingency fee basis for payment. This allows our injured clients to pursue justice without being financially burdened. We work on your behalf and take our fees only when we’ve recovered the compensation you deserve.

Once we have the evidence needed to show who the guilty party is, we will begin to negotiate with the insurance company. This could take some time, especially if the insurance carrier is reluctant to give you a fair amount for your injuries. While negotiations are happening, we will keep in communication with you so you will know what is happening with your case.
If the negotiations break down, we will then file a personal injury lawsuit in the Maryland court. We will continue the negotiation process as we continue to build your case.
Once your case goes to court, we will aggressively go after the at-fault party and show with the evidence we have collected that your injuries were the result of their negligence. We will not rest until you and your family get the compensation you deserve.

Negligence is a pillar of any injury claim in the state of Maryland. While it might seem straightforward, Maryland’s contributory negligence standard complicates matters. Under contributory negligence, anyone who contributed to an accident is barred from recovering compensation. Thus, hiring a personal injury attorney is crucial to the success of your claim.
Personal injury cases follow a set of steps. It is ideal to settle without having to file a formal lawsuit. But if a lawsuit is necessary, you can be sure Regan Zambri Long’s trial lawyers will bring all their years of experience to bear on your case.
Filing an injury claim in Maryland begins when you notify the liable party of your injury and intent to seek 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.
Your claim will depend on proving liability and negligence. Your lawyer will collect evidence and statements that prove the liable party is legally responsible for your injuries. Once liability is established, negotiations can begin.
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 lawyer knows how much your claim is worth and will not settle for anything less.
If negotiations fail, your lawyer will start preparing for a trial. This will include a discovery phase where evidence is shared between legal representation. Your lawyer will devise a strategy for presenting your case and holding the at-fault party responsible.
Settlements may be reached at any point during the proceedings. Filing a formal lawsuit does not guarantee a trial.
Once you have proven your claim, you will be compensated for several types of damages.
Economic damages include:
Non-economic damages include:
In some 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.
