Car accident injuries

Premises liability claims for injuries sustained on someone else’s property
Property owners must keep that property safe. We represent people who become injured when they slip and fall on an unsafe walkway, when they are attacked or bitten by dogs, and when they sustain an injury in a defective elevator or on a faulty escalator. We also represent victims of attacks in areas without adequate security measure in place.
Injuries from defective products
As consumers, we expect that the products we purchase will do what they are supposed to do. When a faulty seatbelt increases the injuries of an accident victim, or a prescribed medication has devastating side effects, we fight designers, manufacturers, and retailers on your behalf.
Medical malpractice claims
Negligent healthcare providers can do more harm than good. We handle complex medical malpractice claims involving birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy, emergency room errors, surgical errors, diagnostic errors and contaminated injections.
Some people are unclear about what kinds of medical mistakes might give rise to a medical malpractice claim. You can't sue your doctor just because he or she made a mistake. To recover compensation in a medical malpractice action, those filing a medical malpractice lawsuit must have the following elements:
- There must be an existing doctor-patient relationship
- The patient suffered an injury
- By failure to comply with the accepted standard of care, the doctor's action or inaction caused the patient's injury
- The patient has suffered additional harm because of the injury
Doctors, being human, make mistakes. The difference between a doctor's error and grounds for a medical malpractice claim is the patient's injury.
Injuries from workplace accidents
Workers can sustain injuries in countless types of workplace accidents depending on the industry. Some common workplace injuries can occur in the following types of accidents:
- Falls from heights
- Truck/ motor vehicle accidents
- Struck-by/struck-against
- Defective equipment
- Fire/chemical or gas explosion
- Electric shock
Maryland workers’ compensation program provides medical costs, temporary partial wage replacement benefits, a death benefit for the relatives of workers who die in workplace accidents. Injured workers who are unable to go back to their former occupation can access vocational rehabilitation services.
Injured workers’ who are facing a dispute with their employer’s workers’ compensation insurer can schedule a free consultation with an experienced workplace injury attorney at Plaxen Adler Muncy to discuss their case.
Social Security Disability claims
We help individuals in Crofton and Gambrills who are too disabled to work to apply for Social Security Disability benefits. The application process takes a lot of effort to track down medical records and complete the forms carefully and accurately. Our disability lawyers can also represent you if you should have to file an appeal or appear at a SSD hearing.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Maryland?
If a loved one was killed in an accident that was a result of someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover compensation for your loss.
