Types of Personal Injury
Personal injuries can happen in many forms. Some common causes include:
Car Accidents: Car crashes are the most common way in which injuries can occur. Car accidents happen every day and can range from minor to fatal, and everything in between. Common injuries include lacerations, whiplash, broken bones, back and neck injuries, head trauma, and internal injuries. These injuries can be long-term and even permanent, requiring extensive treatment.
Slips and Falls: Anytime you go out in public, you can be injured by slipping and falling. These accidents can happen on stairs, in parking lots, on sidewalks, in grocery stores, in restaurants, at work, and even in your own home. Many result in broken bones, back injuries, and brain damage.
Workplace Accidents: When employers fail to implement safety measures, workers can get injured. Construction accidents are especially common (and deadly), but hazards can arise in any workplace, especially when machinery, vehicles, and heavy materials are involved.
Medical Malpractice: Doctors are highly skilled but they’re not perfect. Medical mistakes happen more often than you may think. They often happen during surgery and can cause infections, injuries, worsened conditions, and even death.

Time is critical in personal injury and civil litigation cases. Each state has specific statutes of limitations that dictate how long you have to file a claim. In Maryland, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years, while Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania have their own unique deadlines. Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to seek compensation, so it's crucial to act quickly and consult an attorney as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of personal injury cases does Furman Honick handle?
We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death claims, premises liability, and more. Our team is prepared to fight for your rights in Maryland, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
How do settlements work in personal injury cases?
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlements, where the at-fault party or their insurance company agrees to compensate the injured party. Our attorneys negotiate aggressively to secure maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What if I was injured in a different state but live in Maryland?
If you were injured outside of Maryland but reside here, we can help determine the best jurisdiction to file your claim. We handle multi-state cases and can represent you in Maryland, D.C., and Pennsylvania courts.
How long does a lawsuit take to resolve?
The duration of a lawsuit depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, whether liability is contested, and court availability. While some cases settle within months, others may take a year or more if they go to trial.
What should I do if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Never accept an insurance settlement without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often offer low settlements to minimize payouts. We will review your offer and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
Do different states have different rules for personal injury claims?
Yes. Maryland follows contributory negligence laws, meaning you cannot recover compensation if you are even 1% at fault. D.C. and Pennsylvania follow comparative fault rules, allowing partial compensation based on your level of fault. Our attorneys will assess your case based on the applicable state laws.
