Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for visitors.
If hazardous conditions such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, or unsafe stairways caused your injuries, you may have a premises liability claim.
Jennifer Matthews investigates these cases thoroughly and works to hold negligent property owners accountable.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one because of another person’s negligence is devastating.
Jennifer Matthews provides compassionate legal guidance to families pursuing wrongful death claims, helping them seek financial recovery while treating every case with the care and respect it deserves.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often work to minimize payouts and protect their bottom line—not your best interests.
After an accident, you may receive requests to:
- Provide recorded statements
- Accept a quick settlement
- Sign medical authorizations
- Settle your claim before understanding the full extent of your injuries
Before accepting any settlement offer, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. Jennifer Matthews helps clients understand the value of their claims and negotiates aggressively with insurance companies on their behalf.
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
When another person’s negligence causes your injuries, you may be entitled to recover compensation for both your economic and non-economic losses.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is different, and Jennifer Matthews works to pursue the maximum compensation available under Maryland law.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If your injuries were caused by another person’s negligence or wrongful conduct, you may have a claim. Jennifer Matthews can review the facts of your case and explain your legal options during a consultation.
How much is my case worth?
Every case is different. The value of a claim depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, future treatment needs, and the impact the injuries have had on your life.
Should I talk to the insurance company?
You should be cautious when speaking with an insurance adjuster. Insurance companies may ask questions or request recorded statements that could affect your claim. It’s often beneficial to consult with an attorney before providing detailed information.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Maryland?
Maryland law generally limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. Because important deadlines apply, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Maryland follows a strict legal doctrine known as contributory negligence, which may affect your ability to recover compensation if you are found to have contributed to the accident. Jennifer Matthews can evaluate the specific facts of your case and explain how Maryland law may apply.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, Jennifer Matthews is prepared to advocate for you in court.
