n Maryland, a valid personal injury claim typically arises when one person suffers harm due to the negligence or intentional act of another party. To have a successful claim, victims must prove that the other party owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and as a result, directly caused the injury. Common instances include car accidents where another driver was at fault, slip and fall cases on improperly maintained premises, or injuries sustained due to defective products.

At Haskell & Dyer, we operate on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means that you don’t pay any upfront fees or hourly rates. Instead, our compensation is contingent upon securing a favorable settlement or verdict for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This approach allows victims to pursue justice without the stress of additional financial burdens, ensuring that our interests align with achieving the best possible outcome for you.

In Maryland, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. This means you have a three-year window to initiate legal proceedings against the negligent party. However, there are certain exceptions and nuances to this rule, especially in cases involving minors or specific types of injuries. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney like those at Haskell & Dyer as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you don’t miss this critical deadline.
