The law allows injured people to recover compensation—called “damages”—for the losses caused by someone else’s negligence. Insurance companies often focus only on medical bills, but your case may involve much more. Depending on your circumstances, recoverable damages in a personal injury case can include:

• Medical expenses: past and future treatment, rehabilitation, medications, and related costs

• Lost income: wages you’ve already lost and any reduction in your future earning ability

• Pain and suffering: the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries

• Household services: if you need help to accomplish tasks of daily living because of your injuries

• Property damage: if your vehicle or other property was damaged

• Other out-of-pocket costs: such as transportation to medical appointments or home modifications

  
  

Maryland law limits the amount of pain and suffering damages that a person can recover in an injury lawsuit. In addition, keep in mind that every case is different, and the types and amount of damages depend on your injuries and the impact they have had on your life.
