Understanding Injury Laws in Prince George's County
Prince George's County follows Maryland state law when it comes to personal injury claims. Maryland is known for its contributory negligence rule, which means that if a plaintiff is found to be even 1% at fault for the incident that resulted in their injury, they could potentially be barred from recovering any damages. This is one of several reasons why it's essential to have a knowledgeable injury attorney Prince George's County offers, guiding you through the intricacies of your injury proceedings.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Maryland is generally three years from the date of the injury. However, certain factors or specific circumstances, such as discovering the injury late or if the injury involves a minor, might affect this period. Additionally, the complexities of determining fault and calculating fair compensation values necessitate skilled negotiation and legal analysis. Wilson & Parlett is adept at maneuvering through these challenges, ensuring your rights are protected at every stage.

There are some things that the law school does not teach, but you manage to possess those skills. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.
I was in an accident in 2020 where the driver hit me from behind and left the scene. I contacted the law office of Wilson & Parlett to handle my case. Mr. Parlett, Adam Perrelli, Scott Sanford and the paralegals kept me informed throughout the process. I never had to call to ask for an update. They contacted me via phone to inform me of steps taken, gave me options, and advised me on what they thought was the best option. At the end of my case, I was pleased with their professionalism and caring. I would highly recommend Wilson & Parlett to family and friends.

Mr. Adam's was very helpful and did everything to get me started on the path to get my paperwork done to file for SSD. Hopefully, I will hear a well-needed answer very soon due to me being out of work for 1 year and 4 months now...I have come into hardship due to my disability.- Denise P.

I met with attorney Scott Sanford and Kimberly in the Upper Marlboro office regarding my disability claim. Mr. Sanford helped me file my appeal, gave me information about the process, and answered all my many many questions. He was very smart, honest and straightforward- which are great qualities to find in an attorney. He had me contact Kimberly with any questions or paperwork I needed to send in. She was knowledgeable, stayed on top of my claim, and so very helpful. They called if they received something that needed my attention. I continued to receive notices from Wilson and Parlett letting me know they were still actively working on my case. I was told going to court usually occurs and what the process would be. That would have taken my case a lot longer to settle, bc of how backed up S.S. is but happens a lot. I received an approval letter within 6-8 months and didn't have to go to court. This office is very skilled in handling this type of case. I know I chose the best team to handle my claim and I am satisfied with the outcome. I am definitely recommending them to my friends or anyone else applying for disability!!- Olivia

I highly recommend Wilson & Parlett if you are in need of a personal injury law firm. They demonstrated true professionalism by communicating with me on a regular basis and promptly working on my case. I believe the experience of Mr. Parlett and the thoroughness of his staff is to thank for the positive outcome in my case.- Jeff

I was in a serious auto accident in 2010 in Southern Maryland. I chose Wilson and Parlett because I knew Tim Parlett's brother through business and community work and knew that theirs' was a long standing Southern Maryland family. I was extremely pleased with their services throughout the entire process. The first portion of the settlement was concluded in a very timely manner which allowed for all of my medical bills to be paid. The second portion of the settlement took more time, as is typical. But Tim Parlett negotiated smartly, using time and tactics to our advantage. The amount I was awarded for this final portion was much more than I expected and more than the firm really expected as well! They knew the extent of my injuries and the probable likelihood of problems later in life and negotiated effectively from that perspective. In most cases, I spoke with Tim Parlett directly, rather than a paralegal or staff person. He was down to earth, honest and sympathetic to me as things changed in my life throughout the process. Documents were clear and detailed. Their responses to any requests I made were always handled in a very timely manner. I was totally confident that they were representing my best interests. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing personal injury legal representation.- Janet
