Personal Injury Lawyers
Personal injuries caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or malpractice can leave victims with extraordinary emotional stress and financial obligations. Personal injury is an area of law that allows victims to pursue money damages as compensation for the harm they’ve suffered due to the misconduct or inaction of others. Also known as tort law, personal injury law encompasses a vast array of cases in which a person suffers bodily harm or property damage because of someone else’s conduct. These cases include, but are not limited to, car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, worker’s compensation, and wrongful death accidents to name a few.
Each victim in a personal injury case can file a claim against the at-fault party for the recovery of money damages. These damages are intended to compensate victims for the physical and emotional damages they’ve suffered that were caused by the at-fault party. In many cases, where severe injury or death results, the family of the victim can file a lawsuit and seek compensation on behalf of their injured loved one. If you, or someone you know, has been the victim of a personal injury caused by someone else, our award-winning injury lawyers are ready to offer advice and guidance about the merits of your case at no charge to you. Every victim of a personal injury is encouraged to contact our experienced team of injury lawyers to discuss the details surrounding your case.
DO YOU HAVE A CLAIM?
- Did the person or company being charged act carelessly or negligently? For example, if the driver of a pickup truck crashed into a motorcycle because the pickup truck’s driver ran a red light, the driver of the pickup truck would be considered to have acted negligently under the law.
- Did the careless or negligent conduct cause the victim to suffer personal injuries? In the example above, if the motorcycle driver sustained a broken leg or other injury in the accident, the pickup truck driver’s careless or negligent conduct would be considered the legal cause of the motorcycle driver’s injuries.
- Did the victim’s injuries cause the victim to suffer financial or emotional harm? Working with the above example again, if the motorcycle driver’s broken leg resulted in medical bills, emotional pain and suffering, or lost wages from having to take time off from work, the motorcycle driver would be entitled compensation in the form of money damages.
If the answer to these three questions is yes, you have a basis for bringing a personal injury claim. Now it’s time for you to contact our team of injury lawyers to discuss the merits of your claim and navigate you through the process.
WHAT IS NEGLIGENCE?
Negligence is a legal term used to describe a situation in which a person or company fails to exercise the level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised under the same circumstances. In a personal injury case, proving negligence amounts to placing the legal blame for the victim’s injury on the person or company who caused the victim’s damage. An example of negligence would be a business who failed to mark a wet floor with a “Wet Floor” sign, which caused an innocent victim to slip and fall. In that scenario, the business’s misconduct would be deemed the legal cause of the victim’s injuries, and the injured party would be entitled to financial compensation.
Common examples of personal injury cases include, slip and falls, nursing home abuse, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, dog bite cases and others. If you feel that you have been the victim of such negligence and would like to file a personal injury claim, call or email our experienced team of injury lawyers today. It is critical that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible regarding your case, as there are specific timelines in which you must file your claim. Depending on which state the incident occurred in, a personal injury victim has between two (2) to three (3) years from the date of the incident to file their claim.
If the claim is not filed in the required time frame, the injured party loses the ability to file the claim. The legal expertise needed to file a personal injury claim is only one call away.

I was in a very serious auto accident which landed me in the hospital for several days and a long painful period of recovery. The insurance company refused to acknowledge or compensate me for the seriousness of my injuries. The defense hired the most aggressive defense firm they could find in Frederick County. I retained Robinson & Associates. We Won! The Judge ended up awarding me well over a quarter million dollars. Evidently, the insurance company hired the wrong firm!

Dear Bruce: Thank you for taking my case and winning BIG! My case sat for several years because nobody would take it. You took it shortly before limitations ran and got what I am told is one of the largest verdicts in Queen Anne’s County [well into six figures]. I am grateful for the late night and weekend meetings. You are a caring and skilled attorney.

I am a disability lawyer in Maryland. I know the injury attorneys in town and I choose to refer my personal injury and accident cases to Bruce Robinson & Associates. I know my clients will be taken care of and the firm will work relentlessly to obtain the best results possible. In one case I referred Mr. Robinson, the recovery was limited for reasons outside the firm's control. Mr. Robinson waived his fee for the benefit of the client despite having worked on the case for nearly two years. In my experience, the Robinson Firm obtains impressive results and they really do care for their clients.

I am a bankruptcy and corporate attorney practicing in several states including Maryland. As I do not practice personal injury law, I refer my seriously injured clients to Robinson & Associates. I have known Mr. Robinson for many years and found his dedication to maximizing results for his clients noteworthy. He is always available both to me and to the clients that I refer. He has made multiple home visits to one on my referrals. My clients appreciate the caring assistance they receive and they love the six-figure results they have received thus far.

I lost my husband of 30 years in a tragic motorcycle accident. He was my entire world. After the accident I realized he was my entire financial world and that I was in financial trouble. I interviewed many attorneys in Maryland and ultimately chose Robinson & Associates. Mr. Robinson was always available to me and he was very supportive during my dark days. He assured me throughout that I would be fine and in the end, he got me over a million dollars which is now my retirement. Mr. Robinson promised me and he delivered! He got me a new lease on life, avoiding financial ruin and allowed me to retire in Florida. I cannot thank him or his firm enough. This IS the firm you want.
