The Personal Injury Claim Process
Here’s a basic overview of what to expect when filing a personal injury claim:
How to File a Claim
The process typically begins with a consultation to review the facts and determine whether you have a case. If so, the next steps involve notifying the at-fault party and their insurance company, collecting records, and formally submitting your claim.
What Happens During a Lawsuit
If the case isn’t resolved quickly, it may move into litigation. This includes gathering and exchanging evidence, speaking with witnesses, and preparing legal arguments. Most of this happens before a trial is ever scheduled.
Case Timeline
Every case is different. Some are resolved in a few months, while others, especially those with more serious injuries or disputed facts, can take longer. We keep you updated as the case moves forward.
Settlement vs. Trial
Most cases end in a settlement. But if the insurance company doesn’t make a fair offer, going to trial is sometimes necessary. Both outcomes are possible, and part of our job is to help you understand the pros and cons of each.
Be Cautious When Dealing With Insurance Companies
Oftentimes, the responsible parties in a personal injury case are represented by insurance companies who will do everything in their power to pay you little to nothing for negligence on their client’s behalf. Don't fight them unprepared. Work with us to get the maximum compensation available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Troxler & Troxler Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay any legal fees upfront. Our attorneys only get paid if you win or settle your case, typically as a percentage of the recovery. That percentage can vary, and we will discuss what you should expect as far as potential costs.
What If I Was Partially at Fault?
Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you may not be able to recover any compensation. This makes it especially important to work with an attorney who can clearly establish the other party’s responsibility.
What If an Insurance Company Denies My Claim?
A denial is not the end of the road. Insurance companies may dispute liability or the extent of your injuries. If your claim is denied, you still have the right to pursue compensation through legal action. An attorney can review the denial and, if appropriate, file a lawsuit to continue pursuing your case.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Minor Injury?
Even if your injury seems minor at first, it can develop into something more serious over time. An attorney can help assess whether your case is worth pursuing and make sure your rights are protected. Insurance companies may try to settle quickly and for less than you deserve. Legal guidance can help you avoid that.
Can I File a Claim if Symptoms Appear Later?
Yes, but time matters. If your symptoms appear after the accident, you may still be eligible to file a claim, depending on the statute of limitations and the available evidence.
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of the injury. If there’s a delay in symptoms, documentation from medical professionals will be key to linking the condition to the original incident.
Let’s Get Started
Your time to file a personal injury claim is limited, and delays can reduce your ability to recover full compensation.
