Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Drunk driving and substance abuse. Drunk drivers are always dangerous; drunk truck drivers, however, pose an even greater threat. The sheer magnitude of their vehicles almost guarantees catastrophic injuries in the event of a collision. A driver who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs may not only face criminal charges, but he or she may be held liable for any injuries you sustain in the event of a crash.
• Wrongful Death
  If you lost someone you love due to another person’s negligent actions, you may have the right to receive economic and non-economic damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. While you should absolutely take time to grieve before deciding to take action, be sure to pay attention to time, as the state of Maryland places certain time limitations on various wrongful death accidents.
• Traffic Violations
  Aggressive driving. Cutting in and out of lanes, tailgating other vehicles, speeding up to pass other drivers: these are all aggressive driving acts. An aggressive truck driver can cause a serious accident involving multiple cars, easily knock over road signs, or jack-knife if forced to attempt to brake too quickly.
• Sex Crimes

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  You must notify your employer of the injury. You should also tell your employer if you need medical attention. You may also have to notify Maryland's Workers' Compensation Commission. An experienced Maryland workers compensation lawyer can help you understand the process and your rights in Maryland and file your claim.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability: Whether you sustained injuries while at a friend’s house, after being bitten by a dog, after a slip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property or in an elevator or escalator accident at the mall, you have the right to pursue damages to cover your financial losses. Let us help you understand your premises liability claim.
• Property Damage
  Distracted drivers pose a serious threat to other vehicles on the road in Maryland. When a commercial truck driver is driving while distracted, however, those threats can be catastrophic; the sheer size of the truck, as well as inability to stop quickly or even swerve without risk of jack-knifing or flipping over means that passengers vehicle occupants may be unable to avoid an accident at all. A collision with a tractor-trailer can lead to thousands of dollars in property damage and up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, depending on the severity of your injuries.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  There are few experiences more exhilarating than riding a motorcycle. When you are involved in an accident, however, the results are always serious – and sometimes even deadly.

• Auto Accidents
• Social Security Disability
  If you are disabled and unable to work, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) benefits, or both. Unfortunately, the claims process can be frustrating. Sometimes, a disabled person must file multiple appeals.
• Dog Bites
  Tracey v. Solesky, the Court of Appeals, Maryland’s highest court, changed the law as it applies to pit bulls. The Court ruled that when a pit bull injures someone, the owner is responsible even if they had no prior knowledge that the dog was dangerous. This is known as strict liability. The ruling also applied strict liability to landlords when a pit bull owned by a tenant injured someone. This decision was criticized by animal groups as “breed discrimination†as it singled out pit bulls. Plaxen Adler Muncy, P.A. and many other victims’ advocates encouraged the Maryland General Assembly to change the law to apply strict liability to all dog breeds, so that the problems with pit bulls being singled out would be eliminated while still protecting victims of dog bites.
