Start with a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than handling it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently with attorneys who take cases to court. Confirm the lawyer knows local courts and how local insurers handle claims. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays expenses, and ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory, and pick the one whose answers you trust.
What to do after an accident in Frederick
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved, including witnesses and insurance details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost time. Then act promptly: Maryland has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury, so delaying can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can explain your options.
