Maryland Lawyers Areas of Practice Summary
Our Maryland lawyers represent clients in the Baltimore-Washington area and around
the country. Our practice is solely devoted to fighting for
just compensation for individuals, people
like you as opposed to insurance companies. Our Maryland lawyer
focuses exclusively on personal injury claims: motor vehicle accident
injuries (car, truck, and motorcycle), medical malpractice and pharmaceutical
drug or medical device injuries.
Auto Accidents
Over 90% of our lawyers' practice involves representing clients who have injured
as result of an auto
accident in Maryland. Our Maryland lawyers have
taken to trial hundreds of personal injury auto accident cases
in Maryland. These Maryland car accident cases typically involve
serious personal injuries and include those auto accidents involving
fractures, herniated
discs, surgery, burns, paralysis, wrongful
death, scarring, permanent
injury, disability and disfigurement.
The individual who causes injuries
to innocent victims in a car accident is usually represented by
insurance company lawyers who work hard to prevent the injured
victim from receiving fair compensation for the injuries the victim
has suffered. The lawyers at Miller & Zois formerly worked
for these types of insurance companies and know the tricks that
they will use to prevent you from recovering. Lawyers Weekly USA,
the nation's only weekly legal periodical, perhaps best characterized
the benefits of our training when they wrote that as former insurance
defense lawyers, Miller & Zois "knows the other side's
playbook." (For this and other
testimonials, select here.) Accordingly, the lawyers at Miller
& Zois know the tricks that insurance companies such as GEICO,
Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, MAIF, and Nationwide will throw
at us. More importantly, our Maryland auto accident lawyers know how to
overcome the roadblocks these insurance companies throw up to
give our clients the best chance of receiving the maximum possible
recovery in their personal injury case.
Truck Accidents
The lawyers at Miller & Zois
also handle a large number of large
truck and tractor trailer personal injury cases. Incredibly,
every 16 minutes in this country a person is killed or injured
in a truck accident. Accordingly, thousands of Americans each
year are injured or lose their lives in accidents involving tractor-trailers,
18 wheelers, big rigs, semis, and other large commercial vehicles.
Unsafe driving, oversized loads and various other treacherous
practices increase the dangers in operating these trucks that
weight up to 40 tons. In these accidents, not surprisingly, 97%
of the fatalities are individuals in a passenger car or truck
as opposed to the negligent driver of the commercial truck. The
trucking industry is a $600 billion dollar business and, as you
would expect, these companies have a lot quality truck accident
lawyers at their disposal to vigorously fight personal injury
claims from injured victims. Our truck accident lawyers have the
experience and reputation to stand up to these companies to get
fair compensation for our clients who have been injured in a truck
accident.
Motorcycle Accidents
Our Maryland lawyers also handle personal injury cases involving
motorcycles. Some studies have shown that over 80% of multi-vehicle
accidents involving motorcyclists are not the fault of the motorcyclist.
Often, this occurs because motorcycles can stop much faster than
cars and are thus more likely be rear-ended by a negligent driver
following too closely. Regrettably, motorcycle accident victims
are 21 times more likely to die than personal injury victims in
a passenger car or truck. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have
the experience in these cases to stand up to the insurance companies
and fight for fair compensation for the victims of motorcycle
accidents.
Medical Malpractice
Our Maryland medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving anesthesiology errors, birth injuries, blood transfusions, cancer misdiagnosis, emergency room negligence, failure to diagnose, hosptial negligence, misread X-rays or other diagnostic testing, incorrect medical prescription, negligent amputation, and other surgical errors.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a subset of the above listed categories. In Maryland, by statute, the family members and the estate of the deceased who have been killed as the result of the negligence of another can bring wrongful death claim and something called a survival action. A wrongful death lawsuit may be the result of a vehicle accident medical malpractice, or other catastrophic event, including an auto accident. Our Maryland lawyer have handled many wrongful death cases in Maryland and all over the country and have been able to receive fair compensation our clients who have lost a family member due to the negligence of another.
