Cases we handle
Hyattsville has a high concentration of apartment complexes and rental buildings. Many of the cases we see in the area happen inside those properties — and owners carry legal responsibility when they fail to keep them safe.
Broken stairs, poorly lit hallways, unmaintained doors or railings. The building's owner or manager is liable for injuries caused by negligence in common areas.
Cracked or raised concrete near Baltimore Ave and US-50 causes serious falls. Documenting the exact location is key to your claim.
Wet or poorly marked floors at local stores and businesses. The business has a duty to warn of the hazard or fix it promptly.
Delayed diagnoses or treatment errors. We evaluate your case for free and in complete confidence.
Maryland holds the dog's owner responsible. We recover medical costs, scarring and emotional trauma.
Appliances or tools with manufacturing defects that cause injury at home.
Legal deadline
You have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland. (Maryland Code, Courts & Judicial Proceedings § 5-101) If the statute of limitations expires, you lose the right to recover no matter how strong your case is.
Maryland also applies the contributory negligence rule: if the building owner or their insurer proves you were even 1% at fault, they can deny your claim entirely. That's why it's critical to document the exact location of the accident and speak with an attorney before signing anything with the manager or insurance company.
The sooner we act, the more evidence we can preserve: photos of the scene, maintenance records and witnesses. Don't wait — the initial consultation is free.
Compensation

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.
