Representing Car Accident Victims in Maryland & Northeastern Pennsylvania

Frequently Asked Questions

Car Accident Questions Answered

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Your safety should always come first. After a crash, move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and request medical attention even if you believe your injuries are minor. Many serious injuries aren’t obvious right away, and early documentation is important for both your health and your legal claim.
If you’re able, take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, license plates, and visible injuries. Get contact information for witnesses and avoid discussing fault with anyone at the scene. In both Maryland and Pennsylvania, notifying your insurance company shortly after the accident is necessary — but you should be cautious about what you say to adjusters. Speaking with an attorney early helps protect your rights and avoid common mistakes that can weaken your claim.

You are not required to hire an attorney, but doing so often leads to significantly better results. Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts and may pressure you into a fast settlement before you receive a full medical evaluation. They may also dispute fault, downplay your injuries, or attempt to use statements against you. An attorney protects you from these tactics. At Mundt Law, we handle communication with insurance adjusters, coordinate medical documentation, investigate the accident, negotiate for a fair settlement, and prepare your case for trial if needed. This allows you to focus on healing, knowing your claim is being managed correctly and aggressively.
Uninsured and underinsured drivers are more common than many people realize, especially in certain areas of Maryland and Northeastern Pennsylvania. If the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough coverage — or any coverage at all — your own insurance policy may include UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) protection. These claims can become complicated, and insurance companies often treat UM/UIM cases like adversarial claims. We help clients navigate this process, ensuring your own insurer doesn’t underpay your benefits or deny coverage you are entitled to receive.
Deadlines vary by state. In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Maryland typically allows three years. However, reporting the accident and filing an insurance claim should happen much sooner. Evidence can disappear quickly, witnesses may become harder to locate, and delayed medical treatment can weaken your case. Special rules may apply if the at-fault party is a government employee or a minor is injured. Because timing is so important, contacting an attorney early is the best way to protect your rights.

What Your Case May Be Worth

Car accident victims may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of losses. This includes medical bills, physical therapy, lost wages, future income loss, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and long-term care needs. Insurance companies often undervalue these losses or ignore the full extent of your injuries.

At Mundt Law, we ensure nothing is overlooked. We assemble medical records, obtain crash reports, gather witness statements, document your financial losses, and work with experts when necessary. Whether you were hit on a roadway in Northeastern Pennsylvania or involved in a collision on a busy Maryland highway, we make sure your case reflects the true cost of what you’ve endured.
