Unfortunately, potential plaintiffs must keep in mind that bringing suit against an employer might have a downside—mainly, the employer typically is a large company who can afford expensive legal representation to try and limit their liability. Trucking companies and their insurance companies have teams of highly paid lawyers whose job is to defeat a victim's claim or reduce the value of their claim as much as possible. Because of this, individuals considering filing this type of suit are encouraged to work with a Maryland personal injury attorney who is familiar with these claims and has experience facing off with large company lawyers.
