Personal Injury in Maryland
Through no fault of their own, people are injured
every day in automobile accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents,
airplane accidents, at work, or while out in public. They are entitled
to fair compensation for their injuries when those injuries are
caused by the negligence of another. Securing that fair compensation
requires strong and aggressive representation. The personal injury
lawyers at Schulte Booth can help you through the process.
Automobile/Truck/Motorcycle Accidents:
When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, there are many
more things to consider than meets the eye, such as:
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Injuries to you and your passengers
- Your insurance coverage
- The other driver's insurance coverage
Normally, the property damage is covered by each
driver's insurance policy, unless there is no insurance at all.
You may need a rental car while yours is in the shop being repaired.
If your vehicle is declared a total loss, meaning the cost to repair
is greater than the market value of the vehicle, you are entitled
to be paid the market value of your vehicle at the time of the accident.
Your insurance policy should contain a provision
for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. PIP benefits pay,
in part, your initial medical bills from the Emergency Room, your
primary care provider, and follow up treatment as needed. PIP coverage
may also pay for lost wages when you cannot work as a result of
your injury. The Maryland personal injury lawyers at Schulte Booth,
P.C. can assist you with all of the necessary paperwork so that
your PIP benefits serve their intended purpose. If and when your
PIP benefits become exhausted, your regular insurance coverage should
then begin paying for your medical bills. PIP coverage and your
own insurance will not, however, compensate you for the pain, suffering,
additional lost time, inconvenience, and the other intangible effects
on your life that a serious injury may cause. Severe injuries such
as broken bones, burns, herniated discs and other neck and back
injuries, as well as other injuries that require medical care can
take enormous tolls on your daily life activities. While our civil
justice system cannot eliminate the effects of the an injury caused
by another's negligence, it can compensate you for the innumerable
inconveniences it may have caused.
Schulte Booth, P.C. is experienced in negotiating
with insurance company representatives and pursuing your claims
though the court system to ensure that proper compensation is paid
to you for your injuries.
Accidents and their after-effects are unpredictable. Your legal
representation should not be.
