Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys in Maryland

Also Serving Drivers in Virginia & Washington DC

An unexpected auto accident can not only result in personal injuries – it often causes the victim great pain, discomfort, and inconvenience.

Most victims are confused by the process and have many questions, such as:

• Who will pay for the medical bills?
• What about the wages I lose when I'm out of work?
• Will my car insurance rates increase if I file a claim against my own insurance?
• How do I get my car repaired?
• Which insurance company should pay for the property damage?
• How do I select a doctor to treat my injuries?
• Will my doctor help me if my case goes to court?
• How much do I tell the insurance investigator?
• If the other driver doesn't have enough insurance, who will pay for my damages?
• Is the amount offered by the insurance company really enough for a lifetime of injuries?

How An Attorney Can Make A Difference After An Accident

In a split second, an accident can change a life forever. Damage to a vehicle can easily rack up hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in repairs. If injuries were suffered in the crash, medical bills may be the next mounting debt that can be equally as frustrating and overwhelming. If the collision was serious enough, the death of a loved one may only exacerbate the situation, leaving funeral and burial costs that few families ever budget for.

Guiding You Through the Process

After a serious or fatal accident, you want someone you can turn to for help. Someone who will guide you through the process ahead and get results quickly. You know this can be incredibly difficult to do on your own, especially if you are suffering from injuries or grieving the loss of a loved one. This is why turning to a lawyer after a crash is such a good idea.

Skilled motor vehicle accident attorneys, such as those here at Wilson & Parlett, have the experience necessary to walk accident victims through every step that needs to be taken after a crash.

• The first step is making sure that you receive proper medical care for your injuries.
• The next step is to make sure that a claim is filed with the at-fault party's insurance company or, in the event the other driver does not have insurance, a claim is filed with your own insurance company.

Filing a Lawsuit

In some cases, though, crash injuries or the death of a loved one cannot be addressed merely by talking to an insurance company. When negligence or carelessness is a factor, more drastic steps may need to be taken, such as filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. In these situations, evidence needs to be collected and the proper legal channels need to be followed. This may not be a process most people are familiar with, thereby necessitating the need for a lawyer.

At Wilson & Parlett, we know the steps that need to be taken after a crash and we have the experience necessary to walk our clients through them. We help residents in Upper Marlboro take control of their lives after a crash by taking care of the overwhelming parts of the process and getting them the compensation they need.

At Wilson & Parlett, we have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for our clients through skillful negotiations. However, we believe that vigorous representation should not stop at the negotiating table. When necessary, we are ready, willing, and able to go to court.
