Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a car accident on I-270 or other Gaithersburg roads?
Immediately call 911 to report the accident to Montgomery County Police, seek medical attention even for minor injuries, and document the scene with photos. The busy nature of I-270 and Route 355 means evidence can disappear quickly, so prompt action is crucial for your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland?
Maryland's statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it's important to contact an attorney much sooner to preserve evidence and protect your rights, especially given Maryland's contributory negligence rule.
How do I find the right personal injury attorney in Gaithersburg?
Look for attorneys with specific experience handling cases in Montgomery County who understand local traffic patterns and court procedures. The best attorneys will have a track record of successful settlements and trials in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County and knowledge of how local juries evaluate damages.
