Ocean City, a place where most of us in Maryland have visited at one time or another is a difficult venue for a personal injury case. Juries are largely what you would expect they would be: older, retired, and conservative. We are not aware of any significant medical malpractice verdicts in Ocean City in recent years and there have been few significant verdicts in Ocean City in car, truck or motorcycle accidents that have been tried in Worcester County (most Marylanders incorrectly spell "Worchester"). Frankly, the first thing a personal injury lawyer will do with an Ocean City case is try to remove the case to another jurisdiction which is often very possible. In a car accident case in Ocean City, it is not uncommon for the Plaintiff and the Defendant to both reside in another jurisdiction. It is not that injury victims cannot prevail at trial in Ocean City personal injury cases. But it is a much tougher road to hoe.

There are three Circuit Court judges in Worcester County: Judge Theodore R. Eschenburg Sr., Judge Richard R. Bloxom, and Judge Thomas C. Groton III.
