Unfortunately, there is no reference that states how much money you should receive for any given injury. Even the insurance companies know that each accident and its associated injuries are unique.
In general, if you have been injured in a Maryland auto accident, you may get compensation for:
- Medical bills, both current and future
- Lost wages due to a temporary absence from work
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Pain and suffering incurred from the accident
An experienced Maryland accident attorney can look at the insurance adjuster's offer and tell you if it seems reasonable or not based on your circumstances.
We understand that you may be reluctant to hire an attorney. After all, that's just more money out of your pocket, right?
Actually... it's not.
In most cases, the insurance company will offer you a low settlement because they do not expect you to know how much your injury is worth. An experienced attorney knows what to do to get you a much higher settlement than you could get yourself.
They know how to work the system to your advantage. They have the resources to prove the extent of your injuries and the knowledge of what those injuries could be worth.
A skilled lawyer also knows where to look for compensation, namely your PIP insurance, your health insurance, and the other driver's insurance. It is possible to demand and receive compensation from all of these sources.
Additionally, the attorneys at Nickelsporn & Lundin make our clients our first priority. The general practice in our office is to make sure that you get more money from your settlement - after paying your medical bills - than we do. We've even been known to cut our own fee to make sure this happens.
