FAQ

What should I do if I get in a motorcycle accident in Maryland?

After a motorcycle accident, it's important that you check for injuries and receive the necessary medical help. Call the police so they can write an official accident report and facilitate the exchange of driver's licenses and insurance information between you and the person responsible for the accident. If you are able, you might want to take pictures of the point of contact, vehicle damage, road signs, and other relevant records. This information can be useful for your motorcycle accident attorney during the claims process.

How much will my motorcycle accident in Maryland settle for?

It's probably not the answer you want to hear, but it depends. And it often depends on factors that you don't know initially such as how much insurance the person who caused the accident has. Other factors include which state the accident happened in, how clearly the accident wasn't your fault, your injuries and medical treatment, your lost income, and more. An experienced attorney can help evaluate how much your case is worth.

Is hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer in Maryland necessary?

You are not required by law to hire a motorcycle accident lawyer in Maryland. You always have the option to pursue it on your own. That said, these crashes can often result in serious property damage, injuries, and other collateral damage. In many cases, you'll have the best chance of securing fair compensation with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer who's fluent in industry standards, the negotiation process, and the specifics of your case.

How much does a motorcycle accident lawyer in Maryland cost?

The cost of hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer in Maryland can vary. Many lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typically, lawyers take a percentage of the final settlement amount. It's important to discuss fees with any potential attorney to understand how they charge and what you can expect in terms of costs.

What does the process look like to get started filing my claim?

The process typically starts with a consultation, which is often free. During this time, you'll discuss the details of your accident with a legal professional. If they believe you have a case, they will explain the next steps, which may include signing a retainer agreement and becoming a client. Your attorney will then help you gather necessary documents and evidence to build your claim and negotiate with the insurance company. Most cases are settled out of court, but some may require litigation to reach a fair resolution.

How long will it take to investigate a motorcycle accident claim in Maryland?

The length of time it takes to investigate a motorcycle accident in Maryland varies greatly and depends on the details of the case. Factors that could slow your case down include disputes about who is at fault, a slow negotiation process, and the filing of a lawsuit. An attorney will work to help you reach a satisfactory outcome as swiftly as possible.

What happens once my motorcycle accident case is settled?

Once you've agreed to a settlement, your attorney will provide you with a “settlement statement” which details the total settlement and all of the expenses that come out of your settlement before you're paid. After signing the necessary documents, the settlement check is received from the insurance company. Expenses such as legal fees, medical bills, and other services are paid from this amount. You'll receive the remaining funds, known as the net settlement. The timeline for receiving the check and finalizing the payments can range from a few weeks to a few months.
