Serious Car Accident Attorneys in Baltimore
High-Impact Collisions & Major Injuries
High-impact collisions on I-95, I-695, the Jones Falls Expressway, or busy city corridors like North Avenue and Orleans Street can leave families facing surgery, prolonged recovery, and lost income. Timoll Law Group represents serious car accident cases throughout Baltimore, Montgomery and across Maryland, focusing on major injuries that need careful case building. From Inner Harbor and Canton to Towson and Catonsville, we help you understand your options and start a plan that fits your situation.
Serious-Injury Threshold For Car Claims
To keep resources centered on those who need them most, we prioritize catastrophic injuries: fractures requiring surgery, traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, ICU or prolonged hospitalization, or permanent impairment. We also consider smaller claims when a quick, straightforward resolution is likely—clear liability, documented treatment, and limited dispute over damages. If your crash involved a commercial vehicle, see how we handle truck accident cases by utilizing early evidence preservation and targeted records requests.
Steps To Protect Your Car Claim
After emergency care, document what you can: photos of the scene and vehicles, names and phone numbers for witnesses, the officer’s card, and your claim number if one exists. Keep damaged clothing and property. Do not provide a recorded statement until you understand your rights. If pain appears later—common with neck or back injuries—see a doctor promptly and follow the treatment plan. Timoll Law Group can review your documents and outline next steps the same week in many cases. Want a same-week review? Send your photos and paperwork for a free case check.
PIP, UM/UIM & Property Damage Explained
Insurance can feel overwhelming after a crash. Here’s how the key coverages typically work and how we use them to keep your recovery on track.
01
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
PIP can cover medical bills and part of your lost wages regardless of fault, depending on your policy. Using PIP doesn’t admit liability and often buys breathing room while we pursue the full injury claim.
02
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little, your own policy may step in. We review limits, exclusions, and any stacking options to map every path to recovery available under your coverage.
03
Property Damage & Total Loss
When repairs cost more than the car is worth, insurers may declare a total loss. We walk you through valuation disputes, rental-car issues, and coordinating repairs or replacement while the injury claim continues.
From Crash Reports To Medical Proof: How We Build a Strong Claim
We start by collecting the essentials: police and crash reports, any body-cam or traffic-camera footage, and clear witness statements. Medical records and imaging document the full extent of harm, while employment and wage records help quantify lost income—giving us a complete picture of liability and damages.
When disputes arise, we bring the facts into focus with targeted reviews and prepare as if the case could go to trial. If a rider was hurt, see how we approach motorcycle accidents where visibility and fault are often contested. For families facing a loss, we’ll discuss wrongful death and how those claims differ from survival actions, then map next steps.
I-95, I-83 & City Corridors With High Crash Risk
Serious collisions happen at high-speed merges across Baltimore - on I-95 and I-895, along I-83/JFX, and at busy city intersections near Johns Hopkins, Patterson Park, and the stadium district. We routinely see multi-vehicle crashes near Harbor East and Fells Point, rear-ends on Eastern Avenue, and heavy-truck conflicts around industrial corridors and port routes. Timoll Law Group knows these patterns and adapts requests for camera footage, business recordings, and roadway maintenance records accordingly.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers About Serious Auto Claims
How long will my case take?
It depends on medical recovery, available evidence, and whether liability is disputed. Many matters resolve through negotiation or mediation once treatment stabilizes; others proceed to litigation if needed.
Should I see a doctor even if I feel okay?
Yes. Some injuries show up hours or days later. A timely evaluation creates a clear link between the crash and your symptoms and helps guide care.
Who pays if the other driver is uninsured?
Your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide benefits. We review policy language and coordinate with your insurer while preserving claims against the at-fault driver.
Should I talk to the adjuster?
Provide basic information only—identity, contact, and vehicle details. Decline recorded statements until you understand your rights; we can handle communications for you.
What if the police report is wrong?
You may be able to submit a correction or supplemental statement. We gather independent evidence—photos, videos, and witnesses—to address errors and clarify fault.
