Personal injury law is also known as tort law. A tort is described as "a civil wrong or wrongful act, whether intentional or accidental, from which injury occurs to another. Torts include all negligence cases as well as intentional wrongs which result in harm." Torts fall under three categories:

1. Intentional torts - purposely inflicting injury.
2. Negligent torts - causing an accident that results in injury.
3. Strict liability torts - manufacturing, marketing or selling defective products that result in injury.

The most common grounds for a civil lawsuit involve negligence. These include motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, swimming and diving accidents, boating accidents and premises liability (slip and fall) accidents. When an accident occurs due to negligence, the injured party may file a claim against the negligent party to recover all their damages. Damages generally include current and future medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, current and future loss of income, loss of enjoyment and in certain cases, punitive damages.

It is also imperative that you file your claim within the time allotted by the State of Maryland and Washington, DC.  The statute of limitations for negligence claims in Maryland and Washington, DC is three years from the date of the negligent act.
