You can easily find Maryland personal injury lawyers when you need their help. However, not all personal injury lawyers may be able to help you. There are some things that you need to put into consideration before hiring a personal injury lawyer.
Personal injury is a broad area. Hence, you have to make sure that you get a lawyer that has the skills and experience of the area of your personal injury. For example, if your personal injury arises from medical malpractice, then you should get a medical malpractice lawyer. A medical malpractice is one area covered by personal injury law. You will have a great chance of winning your personal injury case when you have the right lawyer.
Moreover, you should hire a lawyer that is from the local area. When the accident that led to personal injury happened in Maryland, then you need to ask help from Maryland personal injury lawyers. Every state has different state law pertaining to personal injury. Hiring a lawyer from the local area will be able to assist you in terms of local laws that lawyers from other states may not be familiar with.
The experience of the lawyer also plays a big role in the outcome of the case. Experience is very important because it will make the case progress fast. This is because the lawyer knows exactly what to do in the case. New lawyers can take some time to figure out what is the next best thing to do. Moreover, the experience of the lawyer will make him decide quickly whether to settle the case outside the court or not.
The skills of the lawyer will also come into play. You need to hire a lawyer that doesn’t only know how to fight a case in court but also knows how to settle outside the court. There are lawyers who settle outside the court because taking it to court will take lots of time and effort. These lawyers know how to negotiate the other party in your favor. This is very practical especially when victims suffer injuries and not death.
These are some of the things that you need to look for when searching Maryland personal injury lawyers. Always keep in mind that the outcome of your personal injury case highly depends on the expertise, skills and experience of your personal injury lawyer. Thus, take a little time to refine your requirements in order to find the best lawyer for you.
After several low offers from the insurance company for a serious car accident case, Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Jonathan Carroll took the matter to trial to force the insurance company to fully compensate our injured client. The ultimate judgment was almost $10,000 over the insurance company’s initial offer. In this instance, our client’s vehicle was hit on the side, causing the car to roll over. Our client spent several minutes inside his car hanging upside down. His pain went away after only a month of treatment, but it came back after he returned to work. Our client returned to the doctor for more treatment three months after being discharged. Thankfully, our client made a full recovery and the Court awarded our client all of his medical bills and ordered the insurance company to pay him THOUSANDS of dollars for his pain and suffering.

In April 2013, Howard County prosecutors dismissed all charges against a Jezic, Krum & Moyse client accused of killing her boyfriend in 1994. The client pled guilty to manslaughter in 1995, but in 2010 Maryland criminal Attorneys Rand Lucey and Andrew Jezic successfully convinced a Howard County Judge to grant his client a new trial. After initially appealing the Judge’s decision, the State ultimatly decided not to prosecute the client.
After a four-day jury trial in Montgomery County Circuit Court, and after 11 hours of deliberation, Mr Jezic’s client remains free on bond after the jury remained deadlocked or “hung,” and a mistrial was declared by the circuit court judge. The re-trial on several counts of sexual offense will occur in four months.

On Thursday, Montgomery County police said that last month, David Fernando Javier Zarayasi was arrested and charged with sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl who attended the Playing and Learning Family Child Care center on Royal Bonnet Circle.
Zarayasi is charged with 16 counts of sexual abuse and related counts, court records show. He was arrested on March 14, a day after detectives learned of the alleged abuse.
According to Zarayasi’s charging documents, the mother of the victims realized her children had been abused and called police.
The Gazette is not identifying the girls because they are minors and victims of alleged sex offenses.
According to the documents, the 7-year-old alleged victim said that Zarayasi — or “Papa Lindo,” as the children at the center called him — had touched her when she was 4 years old, during the day care’s nap times.
Criminal attorney Jonathan R. Oates successfully fought and won deal in Prince George’s County Circuit Court for client accused of possessing and distributing over 45 lbs of marijuana. Despite being charged with two felonies, and having a previous felony conviction for distributing CDS, attorney Jonathan Oates’ advocacy on behalf of his client prevented him from receiving another felony conviction, and secured him against any jail time in the future.
Mr. Jezic convinced a District Court judge in Prince George’s County to reduce his client’s bond from 400,000 to 17,500, despite the very serious charges of sexual child abuse. Several family members testified at tbe bond hearing, including the client’s ex-wife. The client was freed six hours later and is preparing a vigorous defense in front of a Prince George’s County jury with Mr. Jezic.
Jezic argued an appeal in the Court Of Special Appeals in Annapolis, pro bono, for a client convicted of felony murder in Prince Georges County.
Jezic and co-counsel, Thomas Donnelly, submitted a 43-page Brief, along with a 15-page Reply Brief to the Annapolis appellate court, arguing over a dozen separate grounds for reversal of the conviction.
A decision is expected by the end of the year.
