The personal injury claim process in Maryland begins with the injured party filing a complaint, outlining the details of their case and the compensation they are seeking. The defendant has a certain amount of time to respond to the complaint.
Both parties may engage in pre-trial discovery, during which they gather evidence and information related to the case. After that, the parties may engage in settlement negotiations, which can result in a settlement agreement. If no agreement is reached, the case will proceed to trial.
