I got into a really bad car accident and had no clue what to do. Luckily I called Portner & Shure. Thanks to them I did not have to experience the stress of talking to the insurance company's, or the hassle of gathering additional information about my case. Portner & Shure did it all. They handled all of my medical bills, and even provided a convenient chiropractor that was amazing and made me feel like myself again. They also offered a settlement that I was very pleased with.The staff were friendly and respectful. My questions were answered promptly and in great detail. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the entire process Portner & Shure is top notch. They exceeded my expectations. I recommend this law firm to anyone who refuse to settle for less.. Thanks again Portner & Shure for making this tragic experience a stress-free process and providing a satisfying result.

The firm has designed this website to answer common questions with respect to automobile accidents in Maryland, D.C., Virginia and Houston, Texas. Mr. Portner has successfully argued thousands of automobile accident cases in Courts throughout Maryland and the D.C. area and has written extensively on the subject of automobile accident law. Mr. Ruby has done the same in both Courts in Maryland and Virginia. He is an active member of both the Maryland and Virginia bars, and is well respected by all his peers and even advesaries throughout both jurisdictions. Mr. Shure has extensive experience in health care and automobile insurance law. Together they wrote this website to help accident victims, and people with criminal and immigration issues.

If you are injured in an accident in Maryland, D.C., or Virginia, one common question asked is how is the value of this claim calculated. The Answer is provided in the attached article “What You Can Expect to Recover for Your Injury from an Automobile Accident in Maryland, Virginia, The District of Columbia or Texas”.   The criteria for valuing the accident claim set forth in this article applies in Virginia as well as Maryland. In summary, Mr. Portner’s article notes that the following are of the utmost importance:
(1)        what the injuries were, their extent and duration; and,
(2)        the effect the bodily injuries had on the overall physical and mental health of the injured person; and,
(3)        inconvenience caused by the injuries. Our Personal Injury firm understands that your time is valuable. We will specifically seek recovery for the above as well as your property damage, if appropriate, medical expenses, and lost wages. If necessary, will aid in obtaining a rental car, and will negotiate the property damage, rental car rate, and duration.

INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR ACCIDENTS IN MARYLAND & VIRGINIA

Do not rely on an insurance adjuster to tell you what your case is worth. Adjusters are paid to try to reduce your recovery. In fact, insurance company profits are dependent on carriers limiting their claims payments. Our attorneys and experienced paralegals tip the scales in our clients favor. We, unlike other firms, are not interested in just “leveling the playing field”. Our firm will immediately protect your rights and ensure that you receive all the accident settlement benefits you are entitled to. The Maryland and Virginia accident attorneys can ensure that the following benefits are all properly reviewed:

Property Damage:
Your car should be repaired properly, or you should be paid for its loss in value (often not properly addressed by other law firms), or paid for its replacement cost.
Rental Car:
If you were not at fault, you are often entitled to a rental car. The duration and rate we can negotiate on your behalf.
Maryland PIP / Virginia Med-Pay:
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits and Medical Payments Provision (Med-Pay) are available after many accidents in Maryland or Virginia to provide money for lost income and medical bills in Maryland, and medical bills in Virginia.
Medical Care:
Portner & Shure can assist you in finding a doctor with a convenient office location and convenient office hours. You are entitled to be put back in the same physical condition you were before the accident occurred.
Pain/Suffering and Inconvenience:
These are “non-economic” damages and their basis is set forth above.

Our Fees in Automobile Accident cases

Fees in automobile accident cases are “contingency fees”. This means the payment of any fee by our clients is contingent on our accident lawyers obtaining a recovery on your behalf. In other words, no recovery unless we win.

As you can see from the attached resumes, our attorneys have graduated either at the top of their law school classes, (cumlaude), or were educated at top colleges (Brown and Johns Hopkins University), or top law schools (Georgetown). The contingent fee arrangement entitles every person regardless of income, race, religion, national origin, gender, or age to obtain the highest quality representation without payment of any money out of their pocket

Insurance companies, large corporations and wealthy individuals have resources to hire big firm lawyers who charge several hundred dollars an hour. Through the contingency fee arrangement, insured victims may obtain former big firm lawyers, Valerie Portner (Venable), Jonathan Portner (Gordon, Feinblatt), who have received the top legal training available.
