Yes. Maryland follows the contributory negligence rule: if the insurer shows you, as a pedestrian or driver, were even partly at fault, it can try to deny your entire claim. Accidents near Ellsworth Drive, Fenton Street and the Metro station are argued over for exactly that reason, which is where a lawyer who knows the area helps most.

The initial consultation is free and we work on contingency: no fee unless we win. In Maryland, you generally have 3 years from the accident to file suit (Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101).
