about your medical bills and lack of income. The lawyers at Powers & Powers, in Baltimore, Maryland, are here to advise you on your rights, your options,

Motorcycle Accidents
As a motorcycle rider, you are at risk of serious injury in any accident. Drivers of automobiles often fail to drive defensively in response to seeing a
motorcycle on the road, resulting in collisions. Poorly maintained roadways are also a danger for motorcyclists and the municipality responsible for a road in
disrepair may be held accountable. Not only is this a specialized area of practice at Powers & Powers, it is also a personal one. Troy Powers has been a been a
motorcycle rider for years and understands what other motorcyclists are up against every time they put their tires to the roadways.
Truck Accidents
Crashes involving 18-wheeler and other large trucks can result in severe injuries. Fortunately, numerous regulations govern the safe operation of these trucks,
from mandatory pre-trip inspections by the drivers to maximum allowable driving hours. Our experienced attorneys uncover evidence of lapses in safety protocols
which may have contributed to your truck accident. Powers & Powers will take on these companies and work hard to establish where these breeches may have occurred
in an effort to deliver the financial settlement you deserve.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit brought by the surviving family members and/or loved ones of someone who was killed as a result of someone else's negligent or
intentional act. This lawsuit is usually brought against the person, persons or entity believed to be responsible for the death. Central to the wrongful death claim
is proof that those filing the claim have been harmed as a direct result of the death. Monetary damages are an important part of these lawsuits and range from medical
and funeral expenses to loss of future income and benefits. Bring your concerns to Powers & Powers, and we will help you determine the best course of action.
