Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers may treat cases differently when an attorney is willing to go to court. Find out how well the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers you may face. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions to compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Carney
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange and gather information from everyone involved and any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Then act promptly: Maryland has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury, so delays can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can review your situation and explain next steps.
