Experienced Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer in Maryland

Traumatic brain injuries in Maryland are made even more challenging by the state’s contributory negligence rule. Insurance companies will aggressively look for any way to argue the TBI victim was partially at fault — even suggesting they should have been wearing a helmet, were distracted, or failed to take precautions. Attorney Michael Siddons builds powerful TBI cases that overcome this harsh defense and secure the substantial, long-term compensation brain injury victims need.

Maryland Traumatic Brain Injury Laws

Maryland TBI claims follow negligence law with a three-year statute of limitations. Contributory negligence applies — even 1% fault can bar recovery. Maryland is an at-fault state. Expert medical testimony including neuroimaging, neuropsychological evaluation, and life care planning is essential. Maryland does not cap compensatory damages in general negligence TBI cases (medical malpractice caps may apply if the TBI resulted from medical negligence).

Types of Traumatic Brain Injury Cases We Handle

We handle all TBI cases in Maryland including motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, construction accidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, sports injuries, assaults, and defective products.

Compensation Available in Maryland Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

Maryland TBI victims may recover all medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, cognitive changes, loss of enjoyment of life, home modifications, and caregiver costs. Because of contributory negligence, proving the other party was entirely at fault is essential to recovering any compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does contributory negligence affect TBI claims in Maryland?

Maryland’s contributory negligence rule means even 1% fault can bar your entire claim. Insurance companies are aggressive with TBI victims — arguing they should have worn helmets, were distracted, etc. Experienced legal representation is critical.

What is the statute of limitations for TBI in Maryland?

Three years from injury or discovery. Claims against government entities have shorter notice requirements. Contact an attorney immediately.

Are TBI damages capped in Maryland?

General negligence TBI claims have no damage caps. If the TBI resulted from medical malpractice, Maryland’s non-economic damage caps apply to the pain and suffering component, though economic damages remain uncapped.

What if my TBI symptoms appeared days after the accident?

Delayed TBI symptoms are common and medically documented. The discovery rule may extend filing deadlines. Seek medical attention immediately after any head impact and document all symptoms as they appear.

How can I afford TBI treatment while my case is pending?

Attorney Siddons works on contingency — no fees unless we win. We can also help coordinate medical treatment through providers who accept liens, meaning they are paid from your settlement. Your health insurance may also cover treatment.
