Automobile Accidents
When you are involved in a car accident, in addition to the pain and suffering you endure from any injuries sustained in the accident, you do not need the burden of communicating with insurance adjusters, arranging to have your vehicle towed and repaired, and securing a rental car. We and our staff work closely with our clients to ensure that your case moves quickly and efficiently so you will get all benefits to which you are entitled, whether it is reimbursement for lost wages, securing a rental car while your car is being repaired, or obtaining the highest value for your car should it be considered a total loss. If necessary, we can also assist you in securing medical treatment for the care of your injuries. At Simons & Goldner, P.A. we understand the aggravation and inconvenience of being involved in a car accident, and we will use our best efforts to handle all aspects of your claim promptly and efficiently. Of course, we will also work to achieve the highest settlement possible from the insurance company for your pain, suffering and inconvenience.
Stevan Simons and Richard Goldner can provide sound legal advice for clients when discussing settlement offers, and the pros and cons of litigation if it is warranted. Our partners have tried many jury trials and bench trials throughout Maryland’s Circuit and District Courts, and will not be intimidated by insurance companies and their lawyers. In fact, many of the firm’s clients are referred by other personal injury lawyers specifically for litigation.
Work Related Accidents
Any type of work related injury can be emotionally and physically devastating. In addition to any physical pain associated with your injury, you may be questioning who will pay for your medical expenses, and how will you get paid while you are out of work. At Simons & Goldner, P.A., we will promptly gather and file all information necessary to start the claims process, and we will see to it that you receive your lost wage and medical benefits as soon as possible. After you return to work, we will obtain financial compensation for any injury you have that is deemed to be permanent in nature. We will also see to it that you receive lifetime medical benefits from the insurance company. In the event of a catastrophic work injury that prevents you from returning to your usual occupation, we will see to it that you receive the vocational rehabilitation necessary to return you to the workforce. If it is determined that you are unable to return to work, we will work with you to ensure that you receive lifetime medical and lost wage benefits.
Slip and Fall Injuries
If you are injured as a result of a slip, trip or fall accident on the property of another, you may have the right to be compensated for your injuries and medical expenses. Injuries that result from a slippery surface, sidewalks or surfaces that have not been properly maintained, or sudden and unexpected changes in elevation may be compensable under Maryland law. At Simons & Goldner, P.A., we will work to ensure that you are adequately compensated for injuries caused by a negligent property owner or manager.
Criminal and Traffic Matters
When you have been charged with a criminal offense in Maryland, your choice of a lawyer is an important decision that may affect your future. We would like to help you protect your most important rights, and would like to help you defend any pending criminal or traffic offenses with which you have been charged. We can also assist you in defending against actions brought by the Motor Vehicle Administration related to your driver’s license. All initial consultations are free of charge, and our fees are very reasonable.
