The Personal Injury Claim Process

Initial Consultation

The first step in the personal injury claim process is scheduling an initial consultation with our team. During this meeting, we will discuss the details of your case, answer any questions you may have, and determine the best course of action.

Investigation

Once we take on your case, our team will conduct a thorough investigation to gather evidence and build a strong case on your behalf. This may include reviewing medical records, obtaining witness statements, and consulting with experts.

Negotiation

In many personal injury cases, we can reach a favorable settlement through negotiation with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators and will work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for you.

Litigation

If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our experienced litigators will present a compelling case to the judge and jury to secure the compensation you deserve.

Compensation in Personal Injury Cases

Medical Expenses

Personal injury victims often face significant medical expenses, including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. Our team will fight to ensure you receive compensation for all your medical expenses related to the injury.

Lost Wages

Injuries can result in missed work and lost wages. We will work to secure compensation for the income you have lost due to your injury and any future earnings you may be unable to earn.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering refer to the physical and emotional distress caused by an injury. We will seek compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of the accident.

Property Damage

If your personal property, such as your vehicle, was damaged in the accident, we will help you secure compensation for the repair or replacement of your property.

Punitive Damages

In cases where the at-fault party’s actions were particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, you may have a personal injury case. The best way to determine if you have a case is to schedule a consultation with our experienced lawyers who can evaluate your situation and provide guidance.

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, so it is important to consult with our lawyers as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.

What should I do after an accident?

After an accident, it is important to seek medical attention for your injuries, even if they seem minor. Additionally, gather as much information as possible, including contact information for any witnesses, photographs of the accident scene, and any relevant documents. Finally, contact our team at Hyatt & Goldbloom for legal guidance.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At Hyatt & Goldbloom, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay any upfront fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.

Can I handle my personal injury case on my own?

While it is possible to handle a personal injury case on your own, it is not recommended. Personal injury cases can be complex, and insurance companies often have teams of lawyers working to minimize their payouts. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer can significantly improve your chances of securing fair compensation.
