Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow

Our firm handles all personal injury matters, which include motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks or motorcycles. Also, we represent injured victims as a result of medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, workers’ compensation, premises accidents and other catastrophic events.

Matt - Personal injury attorneys work under a contingency fee arrangement. Our fee is literally "contingent" on either a settlement of the case or a verdict at trial, either by a judge or jury. The Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow represents car accident victims. The customary fee for car accident personal injury lawyers is one-third (1/3), which is paid at the end of the case out of the settlement or verdict check. Clients do not pay our lawyers a penny out out their own pockets. Additionally, most lawyers increase their contingency fee if a lawsuit is filed in court. When you meet with an attorney to discuss your personal injury case, make sure he or she clearly discusses this type of fee arrangement and answers all of your questions. Our lawyers can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 410-777-8960 or online at mdaccidentlaw.com. Thank you Matt!

Our fee is contingent on a successful resolution of your case. If our firm is able to obtain a settlement or a verdict in court, we are paid a percentage of that amount. The standard fee is one-third or 33.3%. In the rare event that we are unsuccessful, you owe nothing.

We have been serving Maryland injury and accident victims for over ten years.

Fortunately, in personal injury cases, clients will typically receive all their compensation in the form of a check at the end of their case. So there is no need for any payment plan in this area of the law.

Yes. We always offer free consultations. Additionally, we will also do our best to give general legal advice or referrals to other attorneys for areas of the law in which our firm does not practice.

Generally speaking, an injured victim has three years to file a claim or they may be barred from any compensation.

Communication is critical in the attorney-client relationship. Our law firm uses a state-of-the-art system that assigns every client their own personal text number, which allows instant contact with the firm at any point throughout the case. Questions, concerns, photos or other documents can be sent through text. Of course, our phones are always open and we enjoy speaking with our clients anytime!

It does not require much to get started. Typically, most clients provide us with insurance information, a police report and photographs at the outset of a case. From there, we are able to open up a claim and investigate the case. From our firm’s perspective, the most important aspect in the beginning is that you are in the hands of quality medical professionals for your injuries.

Absolutely. A member of our legal team is available 24/7 to discuss your injury matter.

Yes. In a personal injury matter, clients are free to fire and rehire a new attorney for any reason whatsoever with no penalty. You are not under a contract with the law firm during your case. We speak with clients often who did not know that they could switch lawyers when their case was going poorly.

At the Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow, we work with clients who have injuries of all types and at all levels. All of our clients deserve the best doctors and medical treatment regardless of the “size” of their injury.

The amount of compensation that our firm may be able to obtain in your case includes factors that go beyond the actual medical records and bills. Our firm focuses on the “impact” that the accident has had on our client’s life. We identify issues such as difficulties at home or work, sleeping, taking care of children, exercise, and other pursuits that are unique and important to each of our clients. Then, our legal team presents that to the insurance companies in an effort to increase the amount of your compensation from the accident.

A very small percentage of cases go to trial. Most cases do settle to our client’s satisfaction before a lawsuit needs to be filed. However, many cases are settled even after a lawsuit is filed but before there is an actual trial. There are many factors that determine whether a case needs to go to court. Overall, filing a lawsuit can be a show of strength against the insurance company and allows us to settle the case at a much higher amount than was offered initially. It is important to choose a law firm that has an aggressive strategy to battle the auto insurance company on day one of your case.

All expenses in your case, including medical bills, will be paid out of your settlement at the end. Additionally, your personal injury lawyer may be able to get some of the expenses reduced and increase the amount of compensation that you will receive at the end.

Thanks for reaching out to us Mr. Jayroe and I’m sorry to hear about the fall. Maryland has some very difficult personal injury laws that differ from most other states. Our Client Care Team may be reached 24/7 at 410-777-8960 for a complimentary consultation or, if you provide us with a telephone number, we will make sure that a member of the team reaches out to you promptly. Thanks again. - Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow
