Miller & Zois are Maryland injury lawyers handling auto accident, truck accident, medical malpractice, and product liability cases on behalf of serious injury victims. Our lawyers handle personal injury cases throughout the country but our lawyers are in Maryland and the majority of our auto accident, truck accident and medical malpractice cases are in Maryland in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area.
We believe that this is the most comprehensive web site for personal injury victims and personal injury lawyers in the country. Our web site has three purposes: (1) to provide information to injury victims through our Personal Injury Victim Help Center which is a virtual encyclopedia of information for accident, medical malpractice, or products liability victims; (2) to provide through our Personal Injury Lawyer Help Center information, advice, samples and other tools to assist personal injury lawyers in handling their medical malpractice and accident cases from initial meeting with the client through trial, and (3) to provide information about our personal injury law firm and the cases our lawyers handle.
Personal Injury Victim Help Center
First, our Maryland medical malpractice and accident lawyers provide a Personal Injury Victim Help Center to provide useful information in personal injury accident and medical malpractice cases. To accomplish this, our accident and malpractice attorneys have designed the site so that it “talks” to you. This web site provides real answers to real questions facing serious injury victims who may have a personal injury case in Maryland, not merely a listing of the obvious information available on any other personal injury attorney web site. Instead, our Maryland lawyers provide information on the handling of personal injury cases in Maryland that helps accident and malpractice victims better understand the maze of the law governing auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and medical malpractice (including nursing home cases and medication error cases) in Maryland. Our injury attorneys set out to demystify the complexities of a Maryland personal injury lawsuit, how it begins and ends, providing an easy to understand summary of what malpractice and accident attorneys and clients do throughout the various stages of the legal process. Our personal injury lawyers provide detailed explanations of many terms and concepts that recur in personal injury accident cases in Maryland involving cars, trucks and motorcycles such as personal injury protection insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, recorded statements and Maryland's collateral source rule law.
Our attorneys also provide a detailed explanation of how
insurance companies and Maryland accident lawyers determine the settlement
and trial value of your case. We also provide detailed analysis
of the pros and cons of filing personal injury cases in specific
venues by providing a review of specific Maryland counties,
including: Baltimore
City, Prince
George's County, Baltimore
County (Towson) Anne
Arundel County (Annapolis), Montgomery
County (Rockville), Harford County (Bel Air), Frederick County, Howard
County (Ellicott City) Wicomico County (Salisbury), Cecil County, Charles County, Carroll County (Westminister), Hagerstown (Washington County), and Calvert
County as well as Washington, D.C., Delaware, and Virginia personal injury cases. Although Miller & Zois’ personal injury
attorneys handle accident and medical malpractice cases outside
of Maryland and Washington D.C., the majority of our lawyers' cases are in the Baltimore-Washington area; accordingly, this site focuses on personal injury accident
law in Maryland. Because the law in Maryland is frequently changing,
our malpractice and accident lawyers make regular additions to the web site.
Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Help Center
The
second purpose of this site is to serve as a resource for law students and Maryland injury lawyers. For accident and medical malpractice lawyers, this site's Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Help Center has a wealth of information about the practice of personal injury law, including recent
Maryland law updates, a
glossary of Maryland insurance terms and how those terms are
viewed by the Maryland courts and statutes, a fantastic article
written by attorney Laura
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), and practical tools
such as sample pleadings, discovery, depositions,
motions, jury instructions, and motions in limine. The Maryland Injury Lawyer Help Center also includes sample documents needed for trial to provide Maryland personal injury lawyers
with the tools to prepare and try personal injury accident and medical malpractice cases.
Our personal injury lawyers further provide analysis of legal issues that relate to the handling of auto accident, truck accident, medical malpractice and nursing home abuse and neglect cases on the Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Blog, which is directed primarily to Maryland truck accident lawyers and Maryland auto accident lawyers practicing law in the Baltimore Washington area. The Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Blog may also be of interest to accident and medical malpractice victims who want to learn more about the litigation process and the issues facing their lawyers in Baltimore/Washington D.C. Our lawyers also publish the Maryland Lawyer Blog, which provides information on legal issues facing Maryland lawyers. Miller & Zois attorney Ronald
V. Miller, Jr. also provides resources for his Maryland Insurance Law students at the University of Baltimore
School of Law. Mr. Miller is also the author of a two volume treatise available from James Publishing on how to maximize the value of personal injury cases. Another Miller & Zois lawyer, John B. Bratt, writes the Baltimore Injury Lawyer Blog, focusing on cases in the Baltimore area which has been the focus of Mr. Bratt's law practice.
Our Personal Injury Law Firm
The final purpose of this personal injury web site is to provide accident and medical malpractice victims and referring lawyers an introduction to the Maryland personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois, including our lawyers, and our background, experience and qualifications, the type of personal injury accident and medical malpractice cases our lawyers handle, and our Maryland injury attorneys' remarkable success at achieving results for our clients both at trial and at the settlement table.
Our malpractice and accident lawyers at Miller & Zois have years of experience in dealing with insurance companies and handling accident and medical malpractice claims. Most of our lawyers used to work for the same insurance companies that we now fight on behalf of our injured clients everyday. In fact, Lawyers Weekly USA characterized the benefits of our injury lawyers' training with the insurance companies, writing that "former insurance defense lawyers, Miller & Zois knows the other side's playbook." Consequently, our personal injury lawyers are very familiar with the techniques that the insurance companies use to deny personal injury victims fair compensation.
If you have come to our web site because you were in an automobile accident or are a victim of medical malpractice (or need a legal malpractice lawyer for the failure of your lawyer to properly pursue an auto accident or medical malpractice claim) and are seeking the services of a personal injury lawyer, we suggest that you review the site to learn as much about our Maryland injury lawyers as you can, and do the same for other Maryland personal injury lawyers to find the medical malpractice or accident lawyer with the background, experience, and philosophy best suited for you and your personal injury accident case.
Our firm only handles specific types of personal injury claims:

When many Maryland lawyers, health care providers and even the insurance adjusters are injured, they turn to our Maryland accident lawyers at Miller & Zois. We believe, both by reputation and the results we achieve, we are the top car and truck accident lawyers in Maryland.

Our lawyers are also now investigating the Medtronics defibrillator lead recall.

We provide regular updates on the status of the Medtronic class action lawsuit.
Other Drugs and Medical Device Cases Our Lawyers Handle
Our products liability lawyers are also involved in the Yamaha Rhino ATV litigation (resulting from Yamaha's failure to recall its Rhino ATV in spite of obvious design defects), shoulder pain pump lawsuits, and the MRI Contrast Gadolinium litigation. Our lawyers are also reviewing Zimmer Durom Cup hip implant recalls. These claims involve defective parts of Zimmer's hip implants.
Types of Cases Our Lawyers Do Not Handle
Because our personal injury law firm focuses exclusively on personal injury cases, our lawyers do not handle non-injury related cases and our lawyers handle workers compensation cases only in very serious injury cases involving a third party (other than the employer) in accident, malpractice or product liability claims.
