Maryland Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Spinal cord injuries can happen to anyone unexpectedly. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you know just how debilitating they can be. Spinal cord injuries are never mild, but even those that don’t leave you incapacitated can have long-term negative effects. The physical, social, and financial impacts are very real.

These injuries are especially common in car accidents. If you have been in an automobile or other type of accident in Maryland and your spine was injured, you will need to contact a Maryland spinal cord injury attorney as soon as possible. 

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

There are several ways that your spinal cord can be injured. They include but are not limited to: 

  • Car accidents
  • Slips and falls
  • Sports injuries
  • And more

If your injury is the result of an accident or another party’s negligence, it is important that you learn your rights and what you can do to receive a fair financial settlement. 

The Insurance Company Lie 

If you have been in a car accident that resulted in spinal cord injury, you or the responsible party’s insurance company will need to be contacted regarding a claim to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, physical therapy, and more. The problem is the insurance company is not on your side.

While many adjusters boast caring for their customers, the truth is that it is their job to make a profit and keep as much money in the insurance company’s banks as possible. Therefore, they make it a point to pay out as little as possible when a claim is made. Don’t settle for the first offer the insurance company provides. Instead, let us review that offer at no cost, and we’ll let you know if it’s fair and reasonable.

Why You Need An Attorney  

Your Maryland spinal cord injury attorney will communicate with the insurance company on your behalf to work toward a reasonable settlement. They will work as your advocate so you can focus on your physical and mental recovery and relieve the stress of pushing for what you know you deserve. 

An experienced attorney will inform you of your rights and advise you on the best course of action based on the circumstances surrounding your injury. They will also represent you in court if that becomes necessary to settle your claim. We highly recommend that you don’t attempt to communicate with the insurance company on your own. They have their own attorneys with far more experience than you.
