Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Out of state Car Injury

I was in a Maryland auto accident. The other driver was at fault. I had pretty bad head injury. To make a long story short, this accident made me lose much of my memory, forget important things, and made me lose out on my military leave to recover. I would like to know how, and how much I should collect, and what to do because it was out of state.

Re: Out of state Car Injury

The value of your case depends on many factors. These include your out-of-pocket expenses (called special damages), past and future lost wages, and pain and suffering. An experienced attorney can provide you an estimate based on all the facts.

Head injury cases are complicated, but may produce high dollar awards. Please call or write for my questionnaire, so I may provide a more accurate assessment. Tel. 703-591-1600.

Re: Out of state Car Injury

1. Maryland would allow you to sue the out of state driver in Maryland because that is where the other driver injured you.

2. How much you would recover, depends, primarily on: (a) gravity of your injuries and their permanency; (b) you and the jury's assessment of you; and (c)where you can bring the case to trial in Maryland as different counties have different ideas on fair compensation. You should use this and other information to hire the lawyer of your choice to investigate this matter for you. By posting this reply, I have not entered an attorney client relationship with you. Further, be aware that e-mail is not a secure means of communication.
