How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Maryland?
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is three years from the date of the accident or injury. If you fail to file a claim within this time frame, you will likely lose your right to do so. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you did not discover your injury right away, you may have three years from the date you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. It is important to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
What Are the Different Types of Personal Injury Cases?
Personal injury is a broad area of law that covers a wide range of cases. Generally speaking, a personal injury case may be filed when one person suffers harm due to the negligent or wrongful actions of another person or entity. If you or a loved one has been injured, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages. Our Clinton personal injury lawyers can help you understand your legal options and determine the best course of action.
At Farmer & Klopfer, we handle a variety of different personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Premises liability
- Slip and fall accidents
- Truck accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workers' compensation
- Wrongful death
What Do I Have to Prove in a Personal Injury Case?
In order to file a successful personal injury lawsuit, you will need to prove several key elements. First, you must show that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care. For example, all drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely and responsibly.
Next, you must prove that the duty of care was breached. In other words, you must show that the at-fault party acted negligently or wrongfully. If you were involved in a car accident, this could involve proving that the other driver was speeding or driving under the influence, for example.
You must also prove that this breach of duty directly caused your injuries. Finally, you must provide evidence of your damages.
What Compensation Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Case?
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages. While the specific damages you can recover will depend on the unique circumstances of your case, some of the most common include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also be awarded punitive damages.
Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
After an accident, you will likely be contacted by the at-fault party’s insurance company. It is important to understand that these companies are not on your side and their primary goal is to protect their bottom line. As such, they will do everything in their power to either deny your claim or pay you as little as possible. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can help level the playing field and ensure your rights are protected.
When you hire Farmer & Klopfer, we can help you by:
- Conducting an investigation: We will conduct a thorough investigation into the accident to gather evidence. This may include reviewing the police report, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts.
- Negotiating with the insurance company: Our Clinton personal injury attorneys can handle all communications with the insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf.
- Preparing for trial: While we will work to negotiate a fair settlement, we are always prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, it is important to consult with a Clinton personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At Farmer & Klopfer, we understand how overwhelming this time can be and we are here to provide the compassionate and effective legal representation you need.

“Showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck”
James Farmer and his team exceeded all expectations! I had a very serious criminal case and his firm was recommended to me by a family member. I was incarcerated during this time and he and his associate Stephanie came to update me on multiple occasions on the progress of my case. They were not only professional but the amount of time and energy they put into my case showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck! They prepared for trial, but in the end was able to work out a plea deal that did not include any jail time. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer and his team for any criminal case!- Previous Client -
“Kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable”
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm. I felt comfortable from the minute I first walked through the door. I had less than two weeks before the expiration of my personal injury filing date and was overwhelmed. My first appointment was with Elizabeth who took my huge stack of papers with a smile and said, “Let me take care of this for you.” Although all of the staff that I encountered were wonderful, my main experience was with Mr. Farmer and Elizabeth who were both kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable. My case was handled professionally and in a timely fashion. My case was recently concluded and I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends and family in the future. Need a good law firm, no need to look further.- Donna -
