Anne Arundel and Howard County Personal Injury Lawyer

Truck Accidents Maryland highways are heavily travelled by large commercial trucks. These huge, heavy vehicles pose a serious risk to other drivers and passengers, particularly if the driver is tired, intoxicated, aggressive, or operating a semi-truck in any other unsafe manner. These accidents often lead to severe injury, permanent disability or death. Every case is different, and various factors must be evaluated, including any truck system failure, part failure, violations of federal trucking regulations, and others. The settlement in such a case should reflect all the damages suffered by a victim, including the pain and suffering and loss of quality of life associated with the injuries.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that 108 pedestrians died in Maryland vehicle accidents in 2013, the latest year for complete statistics, and six bicyclists lost their lives. Distracted drivers, drunk drivers, and those who speed or violate the rules of the road may injure or kill other road users. Our firm gets involved in these cases with the goal of seeking justice. The negligent driver must be held accountable. We are zealous in protecting the rights of our clients. Call us for help.

Motorcycle Accidents A motorcycle accident often leads to tragedy. Motorcyclists who are thrown onto the roadway are subject to extreme physical harm, even when wearing a helmet. Head and brain injuries, crushed limbs, broken bones, internal injuries and severe abrasions are common injuries to riders who have been struck by another vehicle. Statistically, the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by vehicle drivers – not the motorcycle rider. Vehicle operators that impact a motorcycle may be distracted by talking or texting on a cell phone, daydreaming, speeding or simply failing to pay attention to the road ahead. An innocent person pays the price, with a life forever changed. Reach out to our firm at once for help – justice must be pursued, and we are unrelenting in demanding fair compensation for our clients. Call now.

Drunk Driving Accidents A driver who takes to the road under the influence of alcohol is committing a criminal act. The impact of alcohol leaves the driver unable to safely control a vehicle. Wrong way driving, swerving, sudden lane changes, running red lights and swerving into oncoming traffic can lead to a deadly car accident. Drunk drivers are responsible for many tragic deaths and severe injuries to innocent people. At Jimeno & Gray, P.A., we are prepared to help you seek justice if you or a loved one was injured in an accident caused by an impaired motorist.

Workers' Compensation Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to pay for employees who are injured on the job, or while performing work duties. The system allows the injured person to be paid a portion of their wages, and to get medical treatment for the injuries. While this sounds positive, it can be incredibly difficult to get a claim paid quickly and fairly and employers may try to deny a valid claim. Let us evaluate your case. Our goal is to help you resolve any legal or financial issues related to workers’ comp benefits, denied claims, or third party claims. We work hard for our clients, and we are advocates for injured workers in the areas of Annapolis, Glen Burnie, and Howard County, MD. Call now.

Medical Malpractice We place a great deal of trust in medical professionals, from our family doctor to surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and all others in the profession. In most cases, this trust is well-placed. There are cases, however, in which a medical professional is negligent, and the patient is left in a worsened condition or dies. Birth injuries, a failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, medication error, or surgical error are all issues that must be addressed with the assistance of an attorney. Talk to us, and let us help you with information about how to file a claim and what to expect. Getting a malpractice claim paid is one of the most difficult of all personal injury cases. Our years in practice and the experience as prosecutors gives us the legal skills you want on your side. Call now.
