What to Expect in Talbot County Personal Injury Cases

Talbot County is part of Maryland’s 2nd Judicial Circuit, along with Caroline, Cecil, Kent, and Queen Anne’s counties.

The volume of medical malpractice trials in Talbot is limited. Many personal injury cases arise from motor vehicle collisions on rural and two-lane roads, often involving head-on accidents, vehicle rollovers, or pedestrian/bicycle strikes.

Historically, Talbot County has produced relatively conservative juries and personal injury lawyers have had a “keep out” of Talbot County at all costs policy which means that any other county, including the relatively conservative Dorchester County, would be preferable. Today, while Talbot County is no paradise for personal injury lawyers, it is getting more cosmopolitan which means juries are becoming far more reasonable in their verdicts. We won a medical malpractice lawsuit in Talbot County years ago, one of the few in Talbot County history.
