Maryland Wrongful Death FAQs

Q. Do I need to hire an attorney for a wrongful death claim?

A. While you can file a wrongful death claim on your own, having a qualified legal professional is highly recommended. These cases are often complex and involve dealing with insurance companies, corporations, and multiple parties. These entities have experienced legal teams whose goal is to minimize the amount they pay out. A legal professional will know how to gather and preserve evidence, interview witnesses, consult with experts, and build a compelling case. They can also handle all communications and paperwork, alleviating the burden on you during an incredibly difficult time. A lawyer understands the full scope of damages you can claim, including future financial losses and non-economic damages. A lawyer can also represent your interests in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Having an experienced advocate on your side can help ensure your family receives the full and fair compensation you are entitled to.

Q. What happens during the initial consultation?

A. The initial consultation is a free and confidential meeting where you can discuss the details of your loved one’s death with a legal professional. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to learn about your case. We will listen to your story with compassion and respect, and we will ask for details about what happened, who you believe is responsible, and the impact the death has had on your family. We may also ask to see any relevant documents, such as police reports, death certificates, or medical records, if you have them. After reviewing the facts, we can provide an initial assessment of your legal options and discuss the next steps. The purpose of this meeting is to help you understand whether you have a valid claim and what the process of pursuing it would look like. There is no obligation to hire us after this meeting. This is simply a chance for you to get the information you need to make an informed decision about your future.

Q. How long does a wrongful death lawsuit take?

A. The duration of a wrongful death lawsuit can vary significantly depending on several factors. The complexity of the case, the willingness of the parties to settle, and the court’s schedule all play a role. Some cases can be resolved through a settlement in a matter of months, while others that go to trial can take several years. A settlement is often reached during mediation or negotiation, and this can be a more efficient way to resolve the case without the stress of a long trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take the case to court. The length of the process is also influenced by the amount of evidence that needs to be gathered and the number of expert witnesses required. Our approach is to work as efficiently as possible while ensuring we build the strongest case. We will keep you informed of the timeline and what to expect at each stage.
