What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Actually Do?
Many clients assume hiring a lawyer is just for going to court. In reality, our job begins long before a lawsuit is filed. We help gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. We manage negotiations, submit claims to insurers, and prepare detailed settlement demands. If needed, we take your case to trial. At every step, our goal is to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
How We Prove Liability in Maryland Injury Cases
To win compensation, we must prove the other party was negligent. That means showing they owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries. Proving liability often requires more than your word—it takes evidence. We secure accident reports, video footage, medical expert testimony, and more to show exactly what happened and why the other party should be held responsible.
What to Do After an Accident
If you’ve been injured, your first step should be getting medical attention. Then, protect your rights by avoiding conversations with insurance adjusters. Do not give a recorded statement. Instead, contact our team for a free consultation. We can take over all communication, begin gathering evidence, and ensure you don’t miss key deadlines that could jeopardize your claim.
Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Our firm helps you pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and PTSD
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium (spouse claims)
- Property damage (e.g., vehicle repair)
We will carefully calculate all damages and present clear, documented evidence to support your demand.
Understanding Maryland's Contributory Negligence Rule
Maryland is one of the few states that still follows the contributory negligence doctrine. Under this harsh rule, if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. That’s why it’s critical to work with an experienced attorney who can clearly demonstrate the other party’s full liability—and defend against any effort to shift blame to you.
Deadlines for Filing Personal Injury Claims
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline means your case will likely be dismissed—no matter how strong it is. We act fast to protect your claim, preserve evidence, and keep you on track toward compensation.

Your Maryland Personal Injury Questions Answered
If you’ve been hurt in an accident, you probably have more questions than answers. Here are the most common questions we hear from personal injury clients across Maryland—along with detailed guidance on your rights, options, and next steps.
What should I do immediately after a car or truck accident in Maryland?
Your first step is to ensure your safety and seek medical attention. After that, document everything: take photos of the scene, exchange insurance information, and file a police report. Even if injuries seem minor, see a doctor right away—some symptoms can be delayed. Then contact a Maryland personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At Timothy A. Dachille & Associates, we begin investigating right away to preserve evidence and protect your claim, especially in serious incidents like truck accidents or rear-end collisions.
How much is my Maryland personal injury case worth?
The value of your personal injury claim depends on several factors: the severity of your injuries, your medical bills (both current and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the accident has impacted your quality of life. If the injury is catastrophic or involves permanent disability, the damages may be significantly higher. Our legal team has experience maximizing settlements and verdicts for everything from auto accidents and Lyft or Uber crashes to slip and fall claims and catastrophic injuries.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Maryland is one of the few states that follows the harsh contributory negligence rule—meaning if you’re found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This makes working with an experienced Maryland personal injury attorney critical. We know how to build a strong case that protects you from blame and shifts liability to the responsible party. Whether your case involves pedestrian injuries or rideshare collisions, we’ll help you avoid this legal trap.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland?
Maryland’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. If you don’t file within that window, you could lose your right to pursue compensation—regardless of how strong your case may be. Some exceptions apply, especially for minors or delayed discovery of injuries. We recommend contacting us immediately after an accident, so we can secure evidence and meet all critical deadlines.
Do I really need a lawyer for a personal injury case?
Yes—especially in Maryland, where insurance companies work hard to limit or deny valid claims. An experienced personal injury lawyer levels the playing field. At Timothy A. Dachille & Associates, we handle every aspect of your case: investigating the accident, gathering medical documentation, calculating damages, negotiating with insurance companies, and filing a lawsuit if necessary. Whether you’ve suffered from a car crash, truck accident, or slip and fall, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
