Cases we handle
Wheaton sees heavy foot traffic around Westfield Wheaton and the Metro station. We represent residents in cases involving injuries on commercial property, public transit, and medical malpractice.
Wet floors, defective escalators, or falls in the mall's parking garage. The mall operator and individual stores carry legal responsibility.
Falls or injuries near the Wheaton Metro station or on Ride On buses. These cases can involve special rules — we act fast to protect your claim.
At businesses and sidewalks along the Georgia Ave and University Blvd corridor — known as the Wheaton Triangle — where foot traffic is constant.
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.
Items purchased at Wheaton stores that fail and cause injury due to manufacturing defects.
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 follows the contributory negligence rule: if the insurance company or the mall proves you were even 1% at fault, they can deny your claim entirely. Never sign anything or give a statement without speaking to an attorney first.
The sooner we act, the more evidence we can preserve: mall security footage, incident reports and witnesses. Don't wait — the initial consultation is free.
Compensation
Value depends on the severity of your injuries, current and future medical costs, lost income, and the impact on your daily life. We've delivered real results for families in the region:
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.
