Can I Sue For False Credit Reporting? Is my damaged credit actionable?
This topic is outside the normal areas of commentary: personal injury and worker’s compensation, attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you, But it bears some mention. Increasingly, the law is recognizing that wrongfully injured credit may have just as much impact on one’s life as a wrongfully injured body sustained in a Baltimore car accident.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act is federal legislation that, among other things, imposes obligations on national credit agencies, and individuals who report credit material, and imposes civil liability for failure to comply with those obligations. Consumers have a right to dispute entries on their report. [Did you know you have a right to, yearly, get a free copy of your credit report?] Injuries to your ability to obtain credit are indeed personal injuries. You’ll want to discuss your credit or identity theft concerns with a seasoned Baltimore attorney.

- Baltimore Insurance Claims Denial Lawyer
For over three decades, I have battled against the nation’s largest insurance companies, always endeavoring to ensure my clients receive the compensation they deserve. As lead counsel in thousands of cases across Maryland, New York, and Florida, I have recovered millions for clients whose claims were wrongfully denied and delayed. Whether denying fair compensation for a personal injury victim or denying benefits to a homeowner, Insurance companies employ policy exclusions, technicalities, and lowball offers to deny and defeat claims. They also hire very good lawyers to fight you in court. So should you. When an insurance company unfairly rejects a claim, I stop them.
