Assumption of risk is the most commonly raised defense in a Maryland Personal Injury case. It is typically used by a defendant (i.e. gym, grocery store, etc.) being sued by someone after they’ve been injured.

The assumption of risk law has been challenged by numerous cases in the past, leading to higher courts overturning the lower courts initial ruling in favor of defendants.

If you find yourself in a situation where you’ve been hurt, or you felt you were coerced into assuming risk of bodily harm by another person, give us a call. Similarly, if you find yourself questioning the legitimacy of a waiver you’re being asked to sign, give us a call. The Personal Injury attorneys at Ferrante, Dill & Hisle, LLC will be happy to assist you with your case. Give them a call or email them today at (410) 535-6100 or [email protected].

⚖️"De novo" is Latin for "from the new". When a court hears a case de novo, it is deciding the issues without reference to any legal conclusion or assumption made by the previous court to hear the case. Trial de novo occurs when a court decides all issues in a case, as if the case was being heard for the first time.
