At the highest level, Maryland auto accident attorneys are here to help you get the compensation that you deserve. Maryland car accident lawyers accomplish this by helping you get your settlement from the insurance carriers involved, and if a lawsuit is filed, they help you win a verdict in your favor. Your lawyer’s goal is to help you win the largest settlement and most favorable verdict that you are entitled to.

Under Maryland law, if you have been injured in an auto/car accident, legally, victims are entitled to recover compensation from the guilty party. Moreover, victims are entitled to full compensation. Thus, obtaining full compensation for their clients is what Maryland auto accident lawyers do. There are many other more specific tasks that experienced car accident lawyers undertake, which we will discuss below. 

Every car accident case is complicated because every accident case is unique. Good auto accident lawyers, however, welcome exploring the unique complications and getting the highest possible recovery. That involves three major tasks: making all the possible claims, finding all the possible guilty parties, and finding all the required evidence.

Making All the Possible Claims

Everyone probably knows a few of the claims that can be made after an accident. These include claims for medical costs, lost wages/earnings, and claims for pain and suffering. However, there are many other possible claims that can be made depending on the facts. Maybe there is a claim for disfigurement or for partial permanent disability. Maybe the injuries are severe enough that the consequences will linger, which means that future damages might be awarded. To obtain full compensation, good accident lawyers will make ALL the possible claims.

Finding All the Possible Guilty Parties

In the same way, obtaining full compensation means ensuring that ALL the guilty parties are involved in the settlement or brought into the litigation. The other driver is almost always a potential guilty party, but there are other possibilities, like a rowdy passenger, an employer, a negligent repair technician, etc. To obtain full compensation, good car accident lawyers will do the research, examine all the facts, and make sure that ALL the possible guilty parties are in the case.

Gathering All the Required Evidence

Another key task is to gather ALL the required evidence. Different claims will need different types of evidence. As a couple of examples:

• A claim for the cost of repairing the damaged vehicle will require repair estimates
• A claim for lost wages requires the proper forms and/or documentation from an employer
• To recover medical bills, copies of the medical bills must be produced
• To get a copy of the data stored on a vehicle “black box,” a third-party subpoena generally must be sent
• And more

To obtain full compensation, good car accident lawyers do what needs to be done to gather all the necessary evidence.

Other Tasks Too

Good Maryland car accident lawyers do a number of other things, too, including:

• Handling the negotiations
• Handling most court hearings (if a case must be filed) so the client does not have to
• Helping to ensure victims are not pressured into taking an insurance “low-ball” offer
• Making sure deadlines are not missed
• Being the victim’s ally and champion
• And more
