Specific Practice Areas

Of the 87 lawyers listed for Towson injury law, numerous top practice areas are represented.  Injury law is a broader specialty, with attorneys usually focusing on sub-specialties such as medical malpractice, car accidents, workers’ compensation or divorce.  (To note when looking for lawyers that specialize in injury law: lawyers generally don’t say they specialize in anything because it is against Maryland’s Rules of Professional Conduct.)

Our site breaks down Towson injury lawyers by sub-concentration.  The list is injury lawyers in Towson who have experience in the practice area.  Experience can be limited to one case, even though the lawyer has 100’s of cases listed.  The listed cases are Maryland circuit court cases for which the lawyer is plaintiff’s counsel.  Make sure to examine the lawyer’s profile to determine if there is experience in the specific kind of case for which you need representation.

When searching for an attorney with experience in your kind of case, it’s important to note a few things.  First, just because they have handled cases like yours in the past doesn’t mean they still do on a regular basis.  Second, the MD Case Search system classes car accidents as motor torts.  This is true in many jurisdictions, including Baltimore County.  Even though it’s not the everyday vernacular, it is a more appropriate legal definition.  Finally, when looking for medical malpractice lawyers, it’s important to note that many lawyers don’t actually handle the case him or herself, instead referring the case to another lawyer for a fee.  Make sure to ask the question when calling the attorney’s office.
