How can I recover compensation after a restaurant accident?
To recover financial compensation, the first step you should take is to hire an experienced personal injury attorney who will walk you through the claims filing process. In order to successfully take legal action against the negligent party responsible for your accident, you must prove that they are directly responsible for your injuries. To do so, your attorney will use witness statements, pictures and videos of the scene of the accident, medical documentation relating to your injuries, police report, and more to prove your claim.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Maryland?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years in Maryland. This is important to understand because you will only have this time period from the date of your accident to take legal action. Failure to do so may result in being barred from suing. To get started with this process as soon as possible, reach out to our experienced personal injury attorney who will work to satisfy the burden of proof to recover the compensation you require to heal.
