When looking for a personal injury lawyer, it is important to consider their experience, expertise, and reputation. Look for an attorney who has experience handling injury cases similar to yours and who has a track record of success. Additionally, it's important to remember that personal injury claims can be stressful and complicated. Look for a lawyer who communicates well and who you feel comfortable working with.
The length of time it takes to resolve a personal injury lawsuit varies depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years to resolve.
Whether or not your personal injury case goes to court depends on a variety of factors. While many cases are settled beforehand, some cases do proceed to trial. The decision to settle or go to trial ultimately depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Your attorney will evaluate the strengths of your case, as well as the potential risks, and help you understand your options.
It is important to keep in mind that the decision to settle or go to trial is ultimately up to you as the client. Your lawyer can provide you with guidance and advice, but you have the final say in how your case is handled.
If another person's negligence caused your injury, there’s a strong likelihood you have grounds for a personal injury claim. Our attorneys can evaluate your case during a free consultation to determine your legal options.
The value of your case depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and available insurance coverage. While no two cases are the same, our attorneys will provide an estimate based on your circumstances.
At Portner & Shure, P.A., we offer contingency fee arrangements. This means we handle your case at no upfront cost, and you only pay if we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor.
Fault laws vary by state. For example, if you are partially at fault in Maryland, your claim may still be denied due to contributory negligence rules. However, in Virginia and D.C., comparative negligence may allow you to recover reduced compensation. Speak with our attorneys to better understand how fault affects your case.
Yes, statutes of limitations apply. Typically, you have three years from the date of the injury in Maryland, two years in Virginia, and three years in Washington, D.C. It’s essential to act quickly to preserve your rights.
It’s best to consult your attorney before discussing your case with an insurance adjuster. Insurers aim to minimize their payouts, so having legal representation ensures you don’t accept a low-ball offer or unintentionally harm your claim.
