How CHASENBOSCOLO Helps You Recover Compensation
Our process is straightforward and client-focused. First, we meet with you for a free consultation to understand what happened and evaluate your claim. We listen to your story and answer all your questions about how we can help.
Next, we investigate your accident thoroughly. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other evidence that supports your claim. We may hire accident reconstruction experts or medical specialists to strengthen your case.
Then we negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. Most cases settle during this phase, and we work hard to get you the maximum compensation possible. If the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement, we prepare your case for trial and fight for you in court.
Throughout this process, we keep you informed every step of the way. You’ll know what’s happening with your case and what to expect next.
Understanding Your Personal Injury Claim in Maryland
Maryland law gives you the right to recover compensation when someone else’s negligence injures you. Here’s what you need to know:
You have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland. This is called the statute of limitations. If you wait longer than three years, you lose your right to sue, so it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury.
Maryland follows a “contributory negligence” rule. This means that if you are found to have contributed to your injury in any way, you may be completely barred from recovering compensation. Even a minor fault can eliminate your right to recover. This is why it’s critical to have an experienced attorney who can defend your case and protect your rights.
You can recover two types of damages in a personal injury case. Economic damages cover your actual financial losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages compensate you for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, you may also recover punitive damages if the defendant’s conduct demonstrates actual malice—intent to injure or conduct so outrageous that malice is implied. Punitive damages are rarely awarded in Maryland.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer increases your chances of recovering fair compensation. Insurance companies know that represented clients are more likely to pursue their claims aggressively, so they often offer higher settlements to avoid trial.
What to Do After a Personal Injury in Upper Marlboro
If you’re injured in an accident, take these steps to protect your rights:
- First, seek medical attention immediately. Your health is the priority, and medical records document your injuries for your claim.
- Second, document the accident scene if you’re able to do so safely. Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any hazardous conditions. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
- Third, report the incident to the police or property owner, depending on what happened. Request a copy of any police report.
- Fourth, contact CHASENBOSCOLO for a free consultation. Don’t wait—the sooner we get involved, the better we can protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Finally, avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without legal counsel. Insurance companies may try to get you to say something that reduces your claim’s value. Let us handle those conversations for you.
