Car accident in Columbia, MD? What to know before talking to insurance
Hi everyone,
Quick tips for anyone dealing with a personal injury claim in Maryland:
Maryland uses contributory negligence. If you're found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages, so be careful what you say to adjusters.
Deadlines matter. The general filing deadline is 3 years, but claims against government entities can have much shorter notice requirements.
Document everything. Get medical care, take photos, and keep all bills and records.
Early offers are usually low. Don't sign anything until you know the full extent of your injuries.
