Maryland Car Accident Compensation
A few years back, Jury Verdict Research published data that gives some lens into what you can typically expect as compensation in a Maryland car accident claim. The median compensation award for car, truck and motorcycle accidents in cases that go to trial in Maryland is $11,328. The compensation awarded in a Maryland car accident claim exceeded $500,000 in just 1% of accident lawsuits. Maryland accident victims won - defined as recovering damages - in 74% of the motor vehicle accident cases that went to trial in Maryland.
If these numbers seem low, remember that most accident cases are not particularly serious. If you have a serious injury, you can throw this data out the window. Our firm handles serious injury accident cases. If we go to trial and a jury awards just $11,328, something has gone drastically wrong. I'm just guessing here but I suspect our law firm's average jury verdict over the last few years is probably between $200,000-$300,000.
