When Your Injury Was Someone Else's Fault
Most people try to be careful in their daily lives. We drive cautiously, walk slowly on slippery ground and use good judgment about being in places where we feel unsafe. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, accidents happen that are beyond our control.
If you were injured because of another person's negligence, it is important to hold that person accountable for their actions. I am Dale Watson, Attorney at Law, and I have more than 30 years of experience representing clients throughout Salisbury and the eastern shore of Maryland in personal injury matters.

What Happens After an Accident
If you were injured in an accident, the actions you take afterwards can have a critical impact on your case. Finding the medical treatment you need is crucial. Many people need to take several steps before they reach full recovery, including going to the emergency room, orthopedic surgery, pain medication and physical therapy.
While you are getting the medical treatment you need, I will be handling the other aspects of the case. If you were injured at work, I can make sure an accident assessment is filed. If you were injured in a car or truck accident, I can get the police report to gain a better understanding about the cause of the accident. I will also work to make sure you vehicle is paid for and there is adequate coverage to pay for the damage.
I represent clients who have suffered injuries because of another person's negligence, including:
- Car accidents: If someone runs a red light and crashes into you, or if another driver rear ends you, I can help you receive the financial recovery you deserve.
- Slip and fall: If food spills in a grocery store, it is the store's responsibility to clean the mess, so it does not become a danger for shoppers.
- Premises liability: If you are on another person's property, any unsafe condition should be clearly marked. Shallow pools that are unfit for diving, missing handrails or uneven sidewalks can all cause injuries to another person.
When I represent clients, I check to see if they have personal injury protection. When it is applicable, I file an application for that and begin building a case.
