Slip and fall lawyer Maryland: your deadline

The first thing a Maryland slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have three years from the day you fell to file, under Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Maryland splits the blame

Maryland still uses contributory negligence. Any fault on your part can sink the whole claim. The rule is in state law.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. Under this rule the award can drop to $0. That is why the insurer asks what you were looking at.

Public property in Maryland

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your Maryland case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Maryland rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Maryland can bar the whole claim for any fault at all. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Maryland fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Maryland work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
