The other side has adjusters and lawyers on the claim from day one. Choosing Timothy A. Dachille and Associates is choosing to have the same on yours.
Start with a free consultation. We handle injury cases on a contingency fee, so you pay nothing unless we win your case, and the fee comes out of the recovery at the end.
Based in Hunt Valley, with more than 50 years of combined legal experience helping injured people across Maryland.
Maryland can bar a claim if you are found even 1 percent at fault, so we investigate the crash and push back on any effort to shift the blame to you.
Timothy A. Dachille and Associates is a Hunt Valley personal injury and workers’ compensation firm led by founder Timothy A. Dachille, who brings more than 30 years of legal experience, with partner Fraser R. Dachille and associate Meghan M. Cimino.
The firm has recovered millions for injured clients and handles car and truck crashes, motorcycle and rideshare accidents, slip and fall injuries and workers’ compensation claims across Maryland.
The questions we hear most often.
Nothing up front. Timothy A. Dachille and Associates handles car accident claims on a contingency fee, so the attorney fee comes out of the recovery and there is no attorney fee if there is no recovery. If the case does not recover, you may still be responsible for costs and court expenses, and those terms are set out in the fee agreement you sign.
Maryland generally gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some situations shorten or extend that window, and claims against a city or county can carry much earlier notice deadlines. If the accident is approaching three years old, treat it as urgent.
It depends on the facts. Maryland is one of the few states that still follows contributory negligence, so if you are found even 1 percent at fault you may be barred from recovering. Fault is often disputed, though, and the insurer’s first view of it is not the final word, which is exactly why it is worth having the crash reviewed before you assume you have no claim.
You are not required to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement, and it is worth talking to a lawyer before you do. The insurer takes that statement early, before the full cost of the accident is known. Later it uses the statement to argue your claim is worth less.
Most car accident claims resolve without a trial. Filing suit is sometimes necessary to move a claim an insurer is underpaying, and even then the great majority settle before a jury hears it.
Most of the wait is finding out the full cost of the accident: the bills and the missed work. Straightforward claims can resolve in months. A case takes longer when the other side denies fault or the injury is serious.
No cost, no obligation, and no fee unless we win. If we cannot help, we will tell you that too.
