FAQs

Straightforward answers from experienced injury attorneys.

  • How long do I have to file a malpractice claim in Maryland?

    In most cases, Maryland law requires claims to be filed within three years from the date the injury was discovered, or within five years from the date the malpractice occurred, whichever is earlier.

  • Do I need medical records before contacting an attorney?

    That depends on the value of your home, your belongings, and your level of risk. We’ll help you calculate replacement costs and liability needs to ensure you’re fully protected without overpaying.

  • Will my case settle or go to trial?

    Many malpractice cases resolve through settlement, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This ensures readiness for negotiation or litigation depending on the circumstances.
