Determining Liability for a Personal Injury Incident in Cecil County
Personal injury law covers various types of accidents and injuries. For example, it includes:
- Slip and falls on public or private property
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products, such as harmful drugs
- Construction accidents
Depending on the type of injury you experienced and where it happened, a wide array of parties may have contributed, potentially qualifying you for damages. To identify the liable party or parties in your claim, we will need to investigate and gather evidence that they:
- Owed you a duty of care, meaning they were expected to act in a certain way to keep you and others safe from harm
- Violated their duty of care through their actions or inaction
- Caused your accident because of their actions
- Caused you physical, financial, and/or mental damages
With evidence of each of these elements, you could recover compensation for the damages you suffered.

Recovering Compensation After an Accident in Cecil County, MD
When you are hurt in an accident, Maryland law allows you to seek compensation that addresses all the harm the accident caused you. As you accrue expenses and losses during recovery, you may seek compensation in several areas. These include:
- Medical expenses, such as surgeries, emergency care, medications, transportation, doctor’s visits, etc.
- Recovery care, including physical therapy, mental health counseling, medical equipment, and even visits to specialized clinics
- Lost income, such as all the money you lost between the accident and when you went back to work (This can include funds from self-employment, commission work, and other sources of income.)
- Lost lifetime earnings, if you can no longer maintain gainful employment because of long-term injuries (Our team will use paystubs and tax records to determine how much money you would have made throughout your career and into retirement before adding these damages to your settlement request.)
- Pain and suffering for all the physical pain you feel that affects your quality of life
After reviewing the case, our lawyers will go over the recoverable damages we identified with you and assign them appropriate values based on their worth.
