Simply put, we have a history of success in settling and trying cases successfully to verdict. The attorneys at Miller & Zois have prevailed at trial in hundreds of car accident cases in Maryland. Our law firm has successfully settled thousands of cases for clients injured in car, truck and motorcycle accidents. We have already recovered millions of dollars in compensation for car accident victims by settlement or trial in 2013.

Many Maryland lawyers, doctors, law clerks (who have seen us in trial) and even insurance claim adjusters turn to our law firm when they or someone they care for has been injured in a car accident. We believe, both by reputation and the results we achieve, we are the top car accident lawyers in Maryland. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in a car accident, call our law firm at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation on-line.

Maryland Accident Lawyer Information Center

      The primary purpose of this website is to provide information to both Maryland auto accident victims and to lawyers through our Auto Accident Victim Help Center and our critically acclaimed Auto Accident Lawyer Help Center, which is designed to assist the accident lawyer in Maryland in handling accident claims.

This website is considered by many to be the best accident website in the country for both victims and lawyers handling claims. For victims and potential clients, our lawyers provide the information you really need to help you best understand the process and how to maximize the money you receive as compensation: how Maryland accident claims work, their value, how to chose a lawyer, and the details of Maryland accident law and what that means for you.

     Accordingly, if you are a car accident injury victim, our lawyers suggest starting at the Maryland Auto Accident Lawyer Help Center. The first thing injury victims and their auto accident lawyers often want to find out is value of your auto accident case is calculated, including settlement and verdict data for a Maryland car accident lawsuit or settlement that has similar injuries to yours.. The Maryland Auto Accident Help Center also provides what may be the most comprehensive frequently asked questions for auto accident victims on the Internet. The Help Center further provides a full explanation of the meaning and ramifications of important concepts in automobile accident law such as uninsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection insurance, along with a full glossary of key auto accident insurance terms. Because most people who are not injured in a car wreck do (and generally should not) involve counsel in their property damage claims, we have included a new section offering advice for those handling your property damage claim without a lawyer. (We handle our clients' property damage claim free of charge.)

Guide for Car Accident Lawyers

      For Maryland lawyers handling auto collision cases, the Maryland Accident Lawyer Help Center provides a wealth of information to help attorneys better understand the practice of truck, motorcycle and car accident law in Maryland, including recent Maryland law updates on automobile accident cases, a glossary of Maryland car insurance terms and how those terms are viewed by the Maryland courts and statutes, an analysis of what to expect in a car accident lawsuit in almost every county in Maryland, and a fantastic article written by accident attorney Laura G. Zois on the handling of auto accident claims in Maryland (which is given to every lawyer who joins the auto negligence section of the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association as a member benefit). This Maryland Attorney Help Center also offers nuts and bolts assistance for Maryland lawyers handling auto tort claims in Maryland. A complete list of sample pleadings are provided, giving good examples to auto accident lawyers in Maryland (and injury victims) of the different kinds of legal documents Maryland lawyers file in car accident cases before and after a lawsuit. There are also separate elaborate sections of sample discovery, sample motions, jury instructions in car crash cases, and sample motions in limine, all intended to provide Maryland auto accident attorneys with the needed tools to level the playing field with insurance companies. For car accident lawyers in Maryland taking an auto accident case to trial, our lawyers provide a wealth of trial materials to get you ready to take your case to a jury, including a sample auto accident trial transcript to help lawyers and victims understand exactly what our car accident attorneys do at trial to fight for the best possible outcome for our clients. In 2012, we added a new "Intake to Trial" guide for Maryland car accident lawyers that takes you through the process of auto crash case from A to Z.

     Negligent drivers who cause serious injury to people injured in a vehicle collision are almost always represented by a lawyer from an insurance company. This lawyer is paid to prevent the injured victim from receiving fair compensation for the injuries the victim has suffered. We know this fact better than most. The partners at Miller & Zois used to work for insurance companies. Our auto accident attorneys know the tricks to expect to prevent you from recovering the damages to which you are entitled. Lawyers Weekly USA, the only weekly legal periodical in the country, perhaps best characterized the benefits of our training with the insurance companies when they wrote that as former insurance defense lawyers, Miller & Zois "knows the other side's playbook." In fact, we know the "playbook" for any insurance company you will see in a car insurance claim in this state:

• State Farm
• GEICO
• Allstate
• Nationwide
• Progressive
• USAA
• Erie
• Liberty Mutual
• Travelers
• The Hartford
• Encompass
• Analysis of Virtually Every Maryland Auto Insurer

So we know which punches that these insurance companies will throw at you... and how to block them. More importantly, our attorneys know how to overcome these roadblocks these insurance companies throw up to give our clients the best chance of receiving the maximum possible recovery for their claim.

     Miller & Zois has represented auto accident victims for almost every imaginable mishap (and some you could not imagine) in a car accident including: spinal cord injuries, other back injuries, fractures (including ankle, hip and shoulder fractures), herniated discs, brain damage and other head trauma, surgery, rotator cuff tear, paralysis, and other permanent injuries. Our firm often represents the family of victims killed in fatal car accidents (wrongful death) in Maryland. A disproportionate number of these wrongful death car accident cases involve pedestrian accidents and motorcycle accidents.

     Because our attorneys' law practice is focused on motor vehicle cases in Maryland throughout the Baltimore-Washington area, the bulk of this web site is dedicated to helping both injured victims and Maryland car wreck attorneys find the information they need to understand the process in Maryland. But the majority of the information provided applies auto accidents and truck accidents in any jurisdiction.

What to Do If You Are Seriously Injured and Need a Lawyer?

If you have been seriously injured in a motorcycle, truck or car crash in Maryland, you need to find a lawyer with the skills and ability to best maximize the value of your claim either by settlement or trial. Before choosing an attorney, you should be looking at the credentials and experience of not only the particular Maryland accident lawyer you are considering, but of the attorney's entire law firm. Does the lawyer’s law firm focus on personal injury cases and, specifically, motor vehicle cases?  Does the lawyer’s law firm have a history of seven figure verdicts and settlements in car and truck accident cases?   Does the firm have a history of getting verdicts at trial far in excess of the settlement offer made? Certainly, the insurance company fighting your accident claim knows exactly who are the best Maryland car accidents lawyers. Insurance companies factor in the lawyers' history of success at trial in calculating your settlement offer both before and after a lawsuit is filed. (You can find detailed information about our team here.)

A good, experienced attorney who focuses on these types of cases can help you to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. We believe our attorneys are the best accident lawyers in Maryland. We always tell perspective clients, "Don't just call us. Call a few Maryland car accident attorneys and measure us against each other. Ask the lawyer you call if you don't hire him/her, ask what law firm would you hire?" Many more times than not, we think you are going to hear the name Miller & Zois.
