Baltimore Wrongful Death Lawyers
Nothing rips a hole through your life like the sudden, senseless death of a loved one. When that death was caused by someone else’s negligence—another driver’s recklessness, a careless doctor, a greedy corporation—you deserve more than sympathy. You deserve justice, and we’re here to deliver it.
At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we don’t just handle wrongful death claims. We take them personally. We fight for grieving families across Baltimore with one goal in mind: to hold the responsible parties fully accountable and recover every dollar you’re owed for your loss.

We fight for families. We make the wrongdoers pay. Contact our Baltimore wrongful death lawyers today.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Maryland?
A wrongful death claim arises when someone dies as a result of another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional act. Under Maryland law, certain surviving family members have the right to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party.
Unlike a criminal case—which is about punishment—a wrongful death lawsuit is about compensation. It’s about forcing the person or business that caused the death to pay for the destruction they’ve caused. And make no mistake: we make them pay.
Under Maryland Code § 3-904, a wrongful death action may be filed by the decedent’s spouse, children or parents of the deceased. If none of those individuals exist or are willing to file, other relatives who were financially dependent on the deceased may be eligible to bring a claim.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Baltimore
Our firm handles the most serious and complex wrongful death cases across the state. In Baltimore, these tragedies often result from:
- Fatal car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
- Medical malpractice
- Bus Accidents
- Boat Accidents
- Negligence on dangerous premises or intentional acts of violence
We investigate these cases aggressively, often within hours of getting the call. We preserve evidence. We locate witnesses. We confront the insurance companies head-on and build airtight cases that demand compensation.
Damages in a Maryland Wrongful Death Case
No amount of money will ever replace your loved one. But in the eyes of the law, you are entitled to compensation for the harm done to you and your family. That includes, for example, loss of financial support your loved one would have provided, funeral and burial expenses, mental anguish and emotional pain, and loss of companionship, care, and guidance. We work with forensic economists and experts to prove exactly what your family has lost—financially and emotionally—and we don’t stop until we get results.
The Insurance Company Isn’t on Your Side. We Are.
After a fatal accident, insurance companies move fast. They might express sympathy, but don’t be fooled—they’re already working on ways to minimize their payout. They might offer you a quick settlement, hoping you’ll sign away your rights before you know what the case is really worth.
Don’t fall for it.
At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we take over communication immediately, protect your rights, and make sure no one takes advantage of you during your grief. Our lawyers handle everything so you can focus on your family while we focus on winning justice.
Time Is Critical in a Baltimore Wrongful Death Case
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is typically three years from the date of death. But waiting too long to act can be a mistake. Crucial evidence can disappear. Witnesses move or forget what they saw. Defense attorneys get a head start.
That’s why we urge families to contact us as soon as possible. The earlier we get involved, the stronger your case will be—and the more pressure we can apply to the other side.
