Prince George's County is the only
jurisdiction in Maryland where both Circuit Court and District
Court are favorable venues for Maryland personal injury lawyers
fighting on behalf of 
injured
clients. Prince George's County jurors have historically given
jury awards and district court awards in car accident cases that
are fair considering the Plaintiff's injuries. A Maryland personal
injury lawyer handling personal injury cases on behalf of injured
victims typically has the best chance of success in Baltimore
City and Prince George's County. Opinions differ from attorney
to attorney as to which of these venues is more favorable but
there is some empirical data available that suggests that Prince
George's County jurors give slightly higher compensation than
Baltimore City
jurors. Our lawyers have had a number of outstanding results for
clients seeking compensation from PG County juries when the insurance
company was unwilling to make a fair settlement offer. Moreover,
because insurance adjusters know that jurors in Prince George's
County generally give fair awards, cases in PG County are easier
to settle for the reasonable value of the case.
Prince George's County Circuit Court also has a differentiated case management system which separates personal injury lawsuits from the rest of the docket and allows them to get to trial in less than one year, unlike other jurisdictions in Maryland where getting to trial takes years. In fact, absent extenuating circumstances, all personal injury cases must go to trial in 15 months from the date the lawsuit was filed.

Once a personal injury case is set for trial in Prince George's County Circuit Court, the trial will go forward on the date that has been set, unlike many other jurisdictions in Maryland, which often have cases set for trial waiting several days or weeks to get started (which can be difficult for the injured victims, their lawyers, and the testifying experts).
