Maryland law creates a presumption that if someone who is not the owner of the vehicle operated that vehicle, they are doing so as the agent of the owner. This is perhaps the easiest presumption to dispell under the law. All that is usually required is your testimony. If your vehicle is insured... View More

If you sustained personal injuries in the collision- yes. There is no corresponding right to bring a claim just because the cyclist was in the wrong, or because the collision occurred. If, on the other hand, you sustained damages as a result, you should consult with an experienced injury attorney.

It could be considered a a new injury. It could likewise be considered an exacerbation of the prior injury. As with everything in workers compensation it is driven by what the doctor or doctors say. This is a complex case and you should immediately consult with an experienced workers compensation... View More

You can't sue your employer. You may have a valid claim for malpractice, but only if another doctor is willing to state under oath that an act of medical negligence occurred. You should ask your current lawyer for a referral to a medical malpractice attorney.

Sounds like you might need to go to trial, seeking acquittal. If the state is unwilling to dismiss or otherwise dispose of the charges, and based on what you have said there is no reason to believe this is going to happen, an acquittal would be the only way to clear your name. A seasoned criminal... View More

Jurisdictional analysis can be complicated. It certainly sounds like a claim could be brought in DC. But, an analysis might lead to other possible venues based on residence, diversity and the like. It's best to let a seasoned personal injury attorney take a look at this for you.

If your fear is that your testimony might incriminate you, you may have the option of pleading the Fifth Amendment privilege, but that does not exclude... View More

Presumably the state has a reason to reopen your case. Indeed if more than one year has elapsed, they must have a good reason to reopen your case. You should immediately consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. This doesn't sound like the type of case that's just going to be dropped.
