Understanding Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law is designed to protect individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others. It covers a broad spectrum of incidents, including car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and more. In Maryland, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is typically three years from the date of the injury, so it’s crucial to act quickly.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At Hyatt & Goldbloom, we handle a variety of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
Auto Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims. Whether you’ve been involved in a collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, our team can help you navigate the complexities of auto accident claims and secure the compensation you deserve.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident due to hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting, you may be entitled to compensation. Our attorneys will investigate the circumstances of your accident and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals are expected to provide a standard level of care. When they fail to do so, and you suffer an injury as a result, you may have a medical malpractice claim. Our team has extensive experience handling cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and more.
Workplace Injuries
If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, in some cases, a third-party claim may also be appropriate. We will explore all avenues to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries.
Product Liability
Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe for consumers. If you’ve been injured by a defective or dangerous product, our attorneys can help you pursue a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a devastating experience. While no amount of money can bring them back, a wrongful death claim can provide financial support and hold the responsible party accountable. We offer compassionate and dedicated representation to families seeking justice for their lost loved ones.
The Personal Injury Claim Process
Navigating the personal injury claim process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with the physical and emotional aftermath of an injury. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what to expect when you work with Hyatt & Goldbloom:
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey with us begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. During this meeting, we’ll listen to your story, assess the details of your case, and provide you with an honest evaluation of your legal options.
2. Investigation
Once you decide to move forward, our team will conduct a thorough investigation into your case. This includes gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, consulting with experts, and reviewing medical records to build a strong foundation for your claim.
3. Demand Letter
After our investigation, we’ll draft a demand letter outlining the facts of the case, your injuries, and the compensation you’re seeking. This letter is sent to the at-fault party’s insurance company, initiating settlement negotiations.
4. Negotiation
Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who will work tirelessly to reach a fair settlement on your behalf. We aim to resolve cases outside of court whenever possible, but we are fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.
5. Trial (if needed)
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we will take your case to court. Our experienced litigators will present a compelling case, advocating for your rights and seeking the maximum compensation possible.
6. Resolution
Whether through settlement or trial, our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you. We’ll handle all the legal complexities, allowing you to focus on your recovery and rebuilding your life.
Compensation in Personal Injury Cases
The compensation you may be entitled to in a personal injury case can vary based on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your quality of life, and the degree of negligence involved. Common types of compensation include:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for past and future medical bills related to your injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to your inability to work, as well as any future earning capacity diminished by your injury.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for any property damage resulting from the incident, such as vehicle repairs.
- Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the impact of your injury on your relationship with your spouse or family members.
- Punitive Damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Maryland?
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines.
What Should I Do After an Injury?
If you’ve been injured, taking the following steps can help protect your rights and strengthen your case:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Get medical treatment immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
- Document the Incident: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect contact information from witnesses and report the incident to the relevant authorities.

At Hyatt & Goldbloom, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we secure on your behalf.
Can I Handle My Personal Injury Claim on My Own?
While it’s possible to handle a personal injury claim on your own, it can be incredibly challenging and risky.
