Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
When someone’s life is cut short because of another party’s negligence, Maryland law allows certain family members—typically a spouse, children, or parents—to file a wrongful death claim. In plain terms, it’s the lawsuit your loved one could have brought if they had survived, now pursued by their family for the losses they’ve endured. Damages can include grief, loss of companionship, and the financial support your loved one would have provided.
Maryland also recognizes “survival actions,” where the deceased person’s estate can recover for medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain they suffered before passing. Our firm handles both types of claims so families don’t have to navigate multiple legal processes during such a difficult time.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death compensation can address:
- Economic losses like lost income, funeral and burial costs, and the value of services your loved one provided to the household
- Non-economic losses such as mental anguish, loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support
While Maryland places certain limits on non-economic damages, we fight to ensure every dollar of economic and allowable non-economic recovery is pursued.

Catastrophic Injuries (Life-Altering Harm)
A catastrophic injury changes everything—from your ability to work to how you move through daily life. These include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis, amputations, severe burns, and other permanent conditions.
