Personal Injury Attorney Glen Burnie
Legal Help After An Injury In Glen Burnie
Why Injured People Choose Skipper Law
What To Do After An Accident
- Get medical care first. Call 911 for emergencies and get evaluated promptly, even if symptoms feel manageable.
- Report the incident. Car crash: request a police report. Fall or business injury: notify management and ask for an incident report.
- Document what you can. Photos of vehicles, hazards, visible injuries, and the surrounding area can matter later.
- Get witness information. Names and contact details can help confirm what happened.
- Be careful with insurance statements. Don’t give a recorded statement or sign documents before you understand your injuries and your rights.
- Talk to an attorney early. Early guidance can help preserve evidence and prevent avoidable mistakes.
How Our Glen Burnie Injury Team Helps
We start by evaluating liability and damages based on the facts, your medical treatment, and how the injury affects your work and daily life. We review the documents you already have, then obtain key records such as medical charts, billing, imaging, and accident or incident reports.
We also handle insurer communications, demand documentation, and settlement negotiations. If a fair agreement is not possible, we can file a lawsuit and pursue the claim through the appropriate Maryland trial court process.
Types of Injury Cases We Handle in and Around Glen Burnie
A personal injury claim can come from many situations. If you’re not sure whether your accident qualifies, the issue is usually whether someone else’s negligence caused your injuries.
Common cases include:
- Car accidents (rear-end crashes, intersection collisions, distracted driving)
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall/premises liability (unsafe floors, poor lighting, unmarked hazards)
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Wrongful death claims (fatal injuries caused by negligence)
If your matter overlaps with another legal area, our civil litigation background helps us identify the right strategy and the right defendants.

"Skipper Law provides first class legal service."They performed excellent background research on my case, assembled all of the relevant facts and Mr. Skipper presented logical and convincing arguments in both District and Circuit court hearings.- John C.

"Skipper Law saved me over $100,000 on an appeal against one of the largest financial services (brokerage) firms in the United States!"I cannot express how happy I am that I hired Matthew D. Skipper to handle my case. It was like David vs. Goliath where a young, soon to be King David won and SO DID WE! It did not take our opposition (a large Wall Street firm that we sued, including their "team of attorneys") long to realize that they were headed to very embarrassing, public defeat that would have most likely garnered national attention; and as a result they quickly conceded defeat! As if counter-suing and defeating a multi-billion dollar fortune 500 firm wasn't enough, after calling their bluff Matthew advised me to demand that they also pay 100% of my legal fees to his law firm AND THEY DID IT!!! As I recall how Matthew crafted an extremely well written counter claim against our opponents and delivered what could only be described as a majestic oral argument before the Federal Court, I cannot help but think that King David himself would have been proud to have Matthew D. Skipper of Skipper Law, LLC as his legal counsel! If you need an attorney, do NOT leave this page until you contact Skipper Law at: (443) 274-6106.- M. Smith, President of Wealthcare Financial Group, Inc.
