What to Do If You’re in a Car Accident

December 20, 2018
Neil Tyra

A car accident can occur anytime, causing serious injuries and damage to your car and other property. Most accidents are unforeseeable, and it is often up to you to maintain acceptable driving standards to prevent any unnecessary incidents. Unfortunately, mistakes do happen every once in a while, so it is important to know how to respond when that time comes. Here is a brief guide on what to do if you are involved in Read More

It Can Happen in the Blink of an Eye: Know What to Do if You’re Ever in an Auto Accident

February 20, 2018
NWT Owner/Admin

Getting in an auto accident can be a very frightening experience, and many people aren’t sure what to do in the minutes, hours, and days after the event. In all cases, the first thing you need to do is make sure you are ok, your passengers are ok, and anyone else involved in the crash are ok. If someone is injured, helping them get the medical attention they need should take priority over everything else. Once that Read More

What to Do if an Insurance Company Offers You a Settlement

September 20, 2017
NWT Owner/Admin

If you have been in an auto accident, or otherwise experienced a personal injury, you may be contacted by the other person or entity’s insurance company with an offer to settle the case. This offer could come before you even file a personal injury suit, which can make it very tempting to take the deal. Accepting an insurance company’s offer to settle the case, however, eliminates your right to pursue litigation down Read More

Understanding Maryland Auto Accident Liability

January 20, 2017
NWT Owner/Admin

Wrecked Car

On paper, a car accident between two people is probably the fault of one of the drivers. When it comes to Maryland law, however, determining liability is often much more complex than that, and it has some very serious implications with regards to making an insurance claim or recovering any type of compensation for injuries that were suffered. With this in mind, having a good understanding of Maryland auto accident Read More

Estate Planning Lessons from “Furious 7”

April 9, 2015
NWT Owner/Admin

revocable living trust

They wreck a lot of cars in the movie "Furious 7". That probably doesn’t come as a surprise to most people. I took my wife to see the latest installment of the action film series - because she has the movie interests of a 14 year old boy. Noel has always been amongst the first in line for movies such as any Rambo, The Expendables, and most of the Fast series. The movie has done fabulously well at the box office even Read More

The Trouble With Juries

March 22, 2013
NWT Owner/Admin

I have recently had a run of cases which have gone to trial before a jury in both Maryland and the District of Columbia. It is said that only the most difficult of cases make it to a jury because the vast majority of cases are settled before reaching the trial stage. By definition then, once you get to the point that the case is being tried, anything can really happen. There are arguments to be made on both sides and Read More

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

November 27, 2012
NWT Owner/Admin

That old adage, "a picture is worth a thousand words", is never more true than when litigating car accident cases. A good photograph of the accident scene can very often make or break one's case. Yet I can't tell you how often clients come to me without such evidence. This is even more surprising when you think how many people have smartphones that include cameras. A recent market research study indicates that more Read More

Motorcycles, Accidents, and New Maryland Law

October 1, 2012
NWT Owner/Admin

Reading the other day about the youngest brother of Baltimore Raven's wide receiver Torrey Smith who was killed riding a motorcycle and it made me confront my own desires to get a bike. A little one, mind you, maybe no more than a fancy scooter. I think they look good and certainly would be economic to drive. But the potential for grave damage in an accident persuades me each time to forget about it. That and the Read More

Skin in the Game

July 26, 2012
NWT Owner/Admin

Should a personal injury attorney require his clients to pay up front for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of their case? To be honest, I never really gave this question much thought. When I opened my solo practice I just did what my old firm did. I paid the out of pocket expense out of my pocket; and, hopefully, recouped them at the end of the case when it settled or a favorable judgment was entered. A Read More

Litigating a Personal Injury Case – New Client Call (First in a Series)

November 3, 2009
NWT Owner/Admin

This is the first in a series of posts designed to discuss litigating a personal injury claim. It is intended primarily for other attorneys but will hopefully also prove valuable to those who might be contemplating a personal injury claim. After the accident, and hopefully after the person involved has begun treatment for their medical injuries, a call comes into the attorney's office asking whether or not the Read More
