Personal Injury Cases in Charles County, Maryland
Located in Southern Maryland, the Charles County Circuit is housed in one of the historic courthouses of Maryland, in LaPlata, Maryland. It is situated between Prince George's County, Calvert County, St. Mary's County, with King George, Virginia on its border to the South. Originally established as a tobacco farming community, Charles County seen tremendous growth as the population of Prince George's County moves further south.
For years, Charles County has been considered a conservation jurisdiction for plaintiffs. However, as one of the fastest growing counties in Maryland, over the past few years, we have consistently seen the verdicts rise. Verdicts in truck accident and medical malpractice cases have been becoming more in line with what city juries are awarding. In 2004, a child plaintiff in a medical malpractice case received more than 5 million dollars for his undiagnosed brain injury. In August 2007, a jury awarded a plaintiff close to $1 million for an injury she sustained at work after a box fell on her head.
The court has four sitting judges, the Honorable Robert Nalley, the Honorable Steven Chappelle, the Honorable Christopher Henderson, and the Honorable Amy Bragunier. The case management system runs quite effectively and cases typically go to trial in less than 18 months. Cases are rarely not heard on the assigned trial date and the court is one of the few that actually budgets for courtrooms to stay open past 5:00 p.m. if necessary for the case to conclude or the day's proceedings to end.
