Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

If the at fault driver was using the truck for DHL business at the time you can certainly sue them, since he would be considered their agent. By now your attorney should have opened a dialogue with the insurance carrier for DHL, which may well provide coverage for both them and the driver. If liability is uncontested, and your husband's injuries and damages are well documented and clearly causally related to the accident, his claim should be settled if your attorney pursues negotiations diligently. You are certainly not "stuck" with the attorney if you lack confidence in him, but he may be entitled to be paid for his time if you change attorneys. Also, be aware that if the accident happened in MD you must file suit within 3 years from the accident date. If it took place elsewhere, the time could be shorter, such as 2 years in VA.

You need to obtain a second opinion as to whether your present attorney knows what he or she is doing. Even though I am in Prince George's County I have handled other cases in Caroline/Denton which is where your zip code says you are located...

Give me a call and "let's talk about it" as Stephen Miles Esq used to say.
