Did I Have the Right of Way?
For most of us, including most Baltimore personal injury lawyers, it has been a long time since Driver’s Ed. Of course, if a sign, or traffic light controls an intersection, those traffic control devices determine who has the right of way. As Attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you. But what if there is no traffic control device? Experienced Baltimore personal injury lawyers know that the age-old rule that a vehicle at an intersection has a statutory right of way over vehicles approaching from the left, and must yield to those approaching from the right. Now, these are not absolute privileges, and, in any event would apply to vehicles arriving at that intersection at essentially the same time in any event. [Another old rule provides that the first car in an intersection has the right of way over all cars that arrive later.] Of course, all drivers must use reasonable care at all times.

- 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.
