Maryland Attorneys for Injury, Work Claims & Criminal Defense
At Timothy A. Dachille & Associates, we serve clients across Maryland in the areas that matter most: personal injury, workers’ compensation, traffic violations, and criminal law. Whether you were injured in a car crash, hurt on the job, ticketed for reckless driving, or arrested on misdemeanor charges, our team provides experienced, personalized legal representation. Explore our practice areas below to learn how we can help—and what sets us apart.
Personal Injury
Injury accidents can turn your life upside down. Our Maryland personal injury lawyers represent victims hurt by someone else’s negligence—whether in a car accident, on unsafe property, or due to a defective product. We pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering while helping you understand your rights and recovery options.
Auto Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injury in Maryland. We represent drivers and passengers injured in all types of auto collisions—rear-end crashes, intersection accidents, highway wrecks, and more. Our team investigates the cause of the crash, negotiates with insurance, and builds strong claims for compensation.
Truck Accidents
Truck crashes often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Our firm stands up to powerful trucking companies and insurance carriers after serious collisions involving 18-wheelers, box trucks, and delivery vehicles. We handle cases involving driver fatigue, improper loading, and trucking regulation violations.
Rear End Collisions
Rear-end accidents are deceptively serious and can cause long-term injuries like whiplash, spinal damage, and concussion. Whether you were hit in traffic, at a red light, or on the highway, we fight to prove fault and recover the damages you’re owed. We handle low-impact crashes and high-speed rear-end collisions throughout Maryland.
Uber Accidents
Rideshare accidents involving Uber drivers raise unique insurance issues. Whether you were a rideshare passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian hit by an Uber, our team knows how to navigate the overlapping insurance policies and liability questions. We push for full compensation through Uber’s commercial policies when applicable.
Lyft Accidents
Injured in a Lyft accident in Maryland? Whether the Lyft driver was at fault or another motorist caused the crash, we help victims recover compensation for their injuries. We’ll investigate liability, work with Lyft’s insurance carriers, and ensure your rideshare injury claim is properly handled.
Catastrophic Injury
Life-altering injuries require serious legal representation. We represent clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputation, and other permanent disabilities. Our firm partners with medical experts to assess long-term needs and aggressively pursues compensation that accounts for future care, lost income, and pain.
Workers' Compensation
Injured on the job? Maryland law protects employees through workers’ compensation benefits, but many claims are denied or underpaid. We represent injured workers in Baltimore and across the state, handling cases involving back injuries, repetitive stress, falls, construction accidents, and occupational illness.
Traffic DUI Defense
A DUI or traffic charge in Maryland can threaten your license, finances, and freedom. We defend clients facing DUI, DWI, drugged driving, license suspensions, and administrative MVA hearings. Even a first offense can have serious consequences—our goal is to reduce or dismiss charges and protect your record.
Reckless Driving
Maryland treats reckless driving as a serious offense, with penalties including steep fines, license points, and possible jail time. If you’ve been accused of excessive speeding, aggressive maneuvers, or endangering others, we can challenge the allegations and work to protect your driving privileges and reputation.
Traffic Violations
Speeding tickets, red light violations, and other traffic citations can accumulate and result in license suspension or insurance hikes. We represent clients in traffic court across Maryland, working to reduce or eliminate fines, points, and penalties. Don’t pay a citation before understanding your legal options.
Misdemeanor Defense
Even a “minor” criminal charge can leave a lasting mark. We represent individuals charged with misdemeanor offenses like assault, theft, disorderly conduct, marijuana possession, and trespassing. Our criminal defense team works to avoid convictions, negotiate favorable outcomes, and safeguard your future.
Answers to Common Legal Questions About Our Maryland Practice Areas
From injury claims to criminal defense and workers’ compensation, we’re here to guide you. Below are detailed answers to the most frequently asked questions clients have when exploring our core practice areas across Baltimore and the state of Maryland.
What types of cases does Timothy A. Dachille & Associates handle?
Our firm represents clients across a diverse range of legal matters. We focus on personal injury cases such as auto accidents, truck collisions, and slip and falls, workers’ compensation claims involving job-related injuries, and criminal and traffic defense including DUI, reckless driving, and misdemeanor charges. With decades of trial experience in Maryland courts, we provide tailored legal representation with a focus on results.
How do I know which practice area my case falls under?
Legal issues often overlap, but we help clients identify the correct path. For example, if you were hit by a commercial vehicle while working, your case may involve both a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit. If you were arrested for DUI while also receiving a speeding ticket, your case may involve traffic and criminal defense. During your consultation, we’ll identify every angle and explain how we’ll approach your legal matter.
Are your Maryland practice areas limited to Baltimore?
While our main office is located in Baltimore, our attorneys represent clients throughout Maryland, including Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George’s County, Howard County, Harford County, and the D.C. metro area. Whether your case is in a city district court or a surrounding county, we bring local knowledge and a hands-on approach to every client we serve.
What should I bring to my first legal consultation?
Bring any documentation related to your case: police reports, insurance letters, medical records, pay stubs, photographs, or court summons. The more we know upfront, the better we can evaluate your options. Whether it’s a car accident, workplace injury, or criminal citation, every detail helps us protect your rights and build a strong case.
How does your firm approach client representation?
At Timothy A. Dachille & Associates, we treat every client like family. You’ll work directly with your attorney—not be passed off to paralegals or case managers. We provide clear, responsive communication, and we fight hard to resolve your case efficiently while maximizing your results. From serious injury claims to traffic violations, we approach each matter with diligence, compassion, and a commitment to results.
