Understanding Personal Injury Claims in Anne Arundel County

A personal injury claim is a legal process in which an injured person seeks compensation from the party responsible for causing the harm. These cases typically involve injuries caused by negligence, when someone fails to act with the level of care that a reasonable person would exercise under the same circumstances.

To succeed in a personal injury claim, you must generally prove:

  • Duty of Care: The at-fault party owed you a duty to act reasonably and prevent harm.
  • Breach of Duty: The party failed to uphold that duty, such as by driving recklessly or failing to maintain a safe property.
  • Causation: This breach directly caused your injury.
  • Damages: You suffered measurable harm, such as medical expenses, lost income, or pain and suffering.
