Home to nearly a quarter million Maryland residents, Frederick County is located in the northern portion of the state. Bordering Pennsylvania in the south and Virginia in the north, the County has seen a recent surge in population over the last several years. One of the main features of the area is Catoctin Mountain Park, which is home to the famous presidential retreat, Camp David. Numerous historical figures have called Frederick County home, including Francis Scott Key, Roger B. Taney, and Thomas Johnson. If you or someone you know has been hurt in Frederick County as the result of someone else’s carelessness, the injury lawyers at Lebowitz & Mzhen Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to help.

Asserting Your Right to Damages

Suffering an injury as the result of another person’s carelessness or recklessness is a stressful and unexpected event that can have dramatic physical and financial consequences for a victim and his or her family. Although no amount of money can truly compensate an individual for the pain and potentially diminished quality of life, it can help him or her recoup expenses that have been incurred as a result.

The first step in proving a negligence claim is establishing that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. In general, the duty of care requires each of us to act with the same ordinary care and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in a similar situation. In a motor vehicle accident case, including car, truck, or motorcycle collisions, the duty requires the defendant to operate his or her vehicle with the same ordinary care and skill that a prudent driver would use in a similar situation. This means not only complying with traffic laws but also taking into account current roadway and weather conditions at the time of the accident. Next, the victim must show that the defendant breached the duty of care by failing to act with the appropriate care and skill.

After establishing duty and breach, the plaintiff must show that his or her injuries would not have occurred but for the defendant’s breach and that the type of harm that he or she suffered was a foreseeable result of the breach. This element is known as causation. Finally, the victim must provide documentation of the costs and losses that he or she suffered.

If you have been involved in an accident, it is crucial that you see a medical professional as soon as possible to determine and document the nature and extent of your harm. Types of damages that may be available to an injured person include medical expenses, physical therapy, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering.

I am proud to have had Lebowitz & Mzhen represent me in an automobile personal injury case I was involved with. Not only did they come through with a settlement worth far more than I thought possible, the entire office was always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions I had.
