I am an attorney who handles Maryland auto accident cases since 1973. I help clients just like you maximize recovery for injuries they've suffered due to someone else's negligence
from serious cases involving permanent injuries to smaller cases that may not involve permanent injuries but in which damages have been incurred such as loss of wages, property damages and pain and suffering. Call Jack Hyatt 410-486-1800.
Personal Injury cases are based upon what is referred to as tort law. A tort is a civil wrong as contrasted with a criminal wrong.
The basic elements of a tort claim must include four basic elements:
*Duty - The defendant must have a legal duty of care toward the injured person called the plaintiff.
*Breach of duty - The defendant must have violated a legal duty of care owed to the plaintiff.
*Damages - The plaintiff must have suffered harm for which the law allows monetary damages.
*Proximate cause - The defendant's breach of a legal duty must have caused the plaintiff's injury.
Call Jack Hyatt 410-486-1800.
Once the injured person can establish the elements of negligence, the next step is to determine the amount of damages
Several types of damages exist:
Special damages - Special damages are specific damages such as lost wages, medical bills, and damage to peronal property such a vehicle.
General damages - General damages are damages that are not exactly measured in numerical terms such as paid and suffering. Call Jack Hyatt 410-486-1800.
Punitive damages - Punitive damages that are granted to punish a defendant and sometimes to prevent certain future conduct.
These damages are usually granted when the Defendant is guilty of intentional, reckless or malicious wrongdoing, such as fraud, defamation or false imprisonment.
