What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal process that allows individuals who have been harmed due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions to seek compensation for their losses. These claims cover a wide range of incidents, including car accidents, medical malpractice, slip and falls, defective products, and wrongful death.
To pursue a personal injury claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must show that another person, company, or entity (defendant) caused their injury through negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. This involves proving three key elements:
- Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care.
- Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to uphold this responsibility.
- Causation and Damages: The defendant’s actions directly caused the injury, resulting in physical, emotional, or financial harm.
Successful personal injury claims can compensate victims for medical expenses, lost wages or income, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
The Baltimore personal injury attorneys at Miller & Zois guide clients through every step of the personal injury claim process, advocating for fair compensation.
Here’s a closer look at the personal injury lawsuits we handle:
Serious Injury Auto Accidents
Miller & Zois represents clients who have been seriously injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident in Baltimore and across Maryland. The attorneys at Miller & Zois have taken to trial hundreds of personal injury auto accident cases in Maryland. Regrettably, we have seen virtually every type of car accident injury: spinal cord, fractures, herniated discs, surgery, burns, paralysis, wrongful death, scarring, permanent injury, disability, and disfigurement.
The individual who causes injuries to an innocent car accident victim is usually represented by insurance company lawyers who work hard to prevent the injured victim from receiving fair compensation for the injuries they have suffered.
The lawyers at Miller & Zois worked for these types of insurance companies and know the tricks that they will use to prevent you from recovering. Lawyers Weekly USA, the nation’s only weekly legal periodical, characterized the benefits of our training when they wrote that as former insurance defense lawyers, Miller & Zois “knows the other side’s playbook.” (For this and other testimonials, select here.)
Accordingly, the personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois know the tricks that insurance companies such as GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, MAIF, and Nationwide will throw at us. More importantly, our attorneys know how to overcome the roadblocks insurance adjusters throw up to give our clients the best chance of receiving the maximum possible recovery in their personal injury cases.
Truck Accidents
The lawyers at Miller & Zois also handle a large number of large truck and tractor-trailer injury and wrongful death cases. Contrary to what many lawyers think, truck accident claims are not merely larger passenger car claims. We have handled scores of serious injury and wrongful death truck accident claims. They are as alike as the Harlem Globetrotters and the Los Angeles Lakers. We have the experience and reputation to stand up to these companies to get fair compensation for our clients who have been injured in a truck accident.

Motorcycle Accidents
The Maryland personal injury attorneys at Miller & Zois also handle personal injury cases involving motorcycles. Some studies have shown that over 80% of multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcycles are not the fault of the motorcyclist. Juries don’t see it that way – they look to blame the motorcyclist first because a motorcyclist reminds them of the guy who shot past them at 1,000 miles an hour on Route 95.
Not only are motorcycle cases more difficult to try to juries, but the stakes are higher: motorcycle accident victims are 21 times more likely to die than personal injury victims in a passenger car or truck.
The take-home message is clear: if you have a motorcycle accident case, you need a lawyer who is going to put you in the best position not only to win but to maximize your recovery. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have the experience in these cases to stand up to the insurance companies and fight for fair compensation for the victims of motorcycle accidents.
Medical Malpractice
Our Baltimore personal injury lawyers handle medical malpractice cases involving issues, such as:
- birth injuries, including cerebral palsy and HIE
- anesthesiology errors,
- cancer and other misdiagnosis cases,
- emergency room negligence,
- hospital negligence,
- misread X-ray or other diagnostic tests,
- incorrect medical prescriptions, surgical errors
The thing to remember in medical malpractice cases is that you better be ready to put your chin strap on and fight. Easy settlements come along once in a blue moon. You need to be ready to fight the case tooth and nail from gathering the facts and the experts all the way through post-trial appeals. Our lawyers do just that. We have brought in over $20,000,000 in settlements for our clients in malpractice cases in the last year.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a subset of the above-listed categories. In Maryland, by statute, the family members and the estate of the deceased who have been killed as the result of the negligence of another can bring a wrongful death claim and something called a survival action.
A wrongful death lawsuit may be the result of a vehicle accident, medical malpractice, or other catastrophic events, including boating swimming pool drowning deaths. We have handled many wrongful death cases in Maryland and all over the country and have been able to receive fair compensation for our clients who have lost a family member due to the negligence of another.
Drug or Product Liability Injuries
Our lawyers also handle product liability, pharmaceutical and medical device lawsuits, including Camp Lejeune, Tylenol, Elmiron, Paraquat, Roundup, 3M Earplug, Uloric, CPAP, Exactech knee recall, hernia mesh, and NEC baby formula.
Workers Compensation and Other Cases
Our Baltimore personal injury lawyers handle Maryland workers’ compensation claims for clients who have a worker’s compensation case and a third-party liability claim. We also handle:
- Premises liability claims
- Dog bite injuries
- Burn injuries
- Forklift accidents
How Much Is a Maryland Personal Injury Lawsuit Worth?
The value of a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland depends on the type and severity of the plaintiff’s physical injuries. Below are some average values based on injury types:

How Long Can I Wait to File a Personal Injury Case in Maryland?
Maryland has a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This includes medical malpractice, auto accidents, and other types of injury cases. The 3-year period begins to run from the date that the plaintiff discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. (Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101).
How Are Personal Injury Settlements Calculated?
Settlements for most personal injury claims are calculated by adding together three general elements of the plaintiff’s damages:
- medical expenses
- lost income
- pain and suffering damages
An experienced personal injury attorney can review your case to determine what damages you can pursue.
