Our civil justice is premised on the idea that although money is a poor substitute for one’s physical health and peace of mind, Attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you. it is how our law measures the magnitude of your loss.
Damages are monetary compensation for personal injury.
No one would every willingly exchange their good health and bodily integrity for money. Our system is premised on the idea that it is the “next best thing.” The idea is to make an injured party whole for their loss. If that can’t be done in actuality, then it is accomplished by proxy. Every day Baltimore personal injury lawyers use this idea, that in our legal system money is substituted for an intangible loss, to obtain financial recoveries for their injured clients. The amounts recovered are “damages”. Specific strains of damages are discussed in more detail in specific chapters of this volume. All damage types [e.g. lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills] have one thing in common.
The damages one seeks to recover must have been a foreseeable consequence to a reasonable person in the defendant’s shoes at the time of the accident.
All of us must exercise reasonable car
e to keep our fellow citizens safe from harm. We cannot engage in conduct that directly injures others. Moreover, we must conform our conduct so that is does not create a zone of danger into which other may venture. But the scope of potential liability is limited by the concept of forseeability. When a person violates this legal obligation, and injures another, that victim is entitled to money damages. I’ve recovered millions of dollars in damages for my clients over the years.
If you have been injured, I will meet personally with you to analyze and share with you my thoughts on your claim.

Eric T. Kirk Baltimore Personal Injury Trial 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.
For the last 30 years, I’ve battled the insurance industry to ensure my clients receive full, fair and just compensation. I’ve secured millions of dollars for my clients after litigating claims that were denied or undervalued by their insurance company.
“When an insurance company unfairly denies, rejects or undervalues a claim, I stop them.”
