The History of the Hampden Neighborhood in Baltimore, MD
Hampden is an up-and-coming neighborhood in northern Baltimore, MD. It was originally built upon the Jones Falls mills and served as an area for millworkers to live. It began to take shape in earnest in the 1990s when many artists began to relocate to the area. Hampden is recognizable by its main drag, 36th Street, also known as “The Avenue.”
The Avenue is home to a number of noteworthy landmarks and attractions, including the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, Atomic Books, the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance Walking Tour, and Artifact Coffee. The neighborhood is also home to the Roosevelt and Wyman Parks, Jones Falls, and the Stony Run Trail.
Three key annual events worth mentioning here take place in Hampden.
The first is Honfest, where people dress up in “Hon” attire and celebrate the uniqueness of Hampden. The second is Hampdenfest, which holds a number of zany celebratory events and competitions. And the third is Miracle on 34th Street, where the 34th Street block is completely illuminated by festive lights and decor.

Reach out to our Hampden personal injury attorneys today if you’ve been harmed in a slip & fall accident.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents tend to be some of the most consequential when it comes to accidents involving motor vehicles. That’s not just because of how large these vehicles are, but because the trucking company will oftentimes be a party to the case. Your interests will be fully represented when you hire WGK Personal Injury Lawyers to go to bat for you after a truck accident.
Wrongful Death
The wrongful death of a family member is something nobody deserves. While no amount of money could ever make up for the loss of your loved one, you could still have a case to hold those responsible liable for their actions. Reach out to us today for assistance.
These are just a few of the practice areas our Hampden personal injury lawyers are experienced in. Contact us for a free consultation for additional information on how we can help you with your case.
Damages Available in Personal Injury Cases in Hampden
Victims of personal injury accidents in Hampden can seek economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.
Economic damages compensate you for the financial losses due to your personal injury. You can seek compensation for your lost wages, medical bills, and other types of expenses you’ve incurred.
Non-economic damages reflect the less-quantifiable aspects of your injury. Things like your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and disfigurement would qualify under this category of damages.
Punitive damages, while rarely given, are sometimes awarded in personal injury cases. If these damages are awarded, they are intended not to compensate you (although they do in effect) but are meant to punish the at-fault party.
Our Hampden personal injury lawyers will thoroughly examine your case to determine the full extent of your damages. Call today for assistance.
What Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Baltimore County?
It won’t cost you anything upfront to hire our Hampden personal injury attorneys; we work on a contingency fee basis.
With a contingency fee system, we will take payment for our legal services as a percentage of the financial award we obtain for you. This percentage varies depending on the case, but it will be roughly 33%, and we will agree on it ahead of time. For instance, if we obtain a $300,000 monetary award for you and we agree to a contingency fee of 40%, we would receive $120,000.
The contingency fee basis allows you to hire an attorney when you’re in a difficult financial position, which you understandably might be after a personal injury. This system also incentivizes us to maximize your compensation claim’s value.
Reach out today for more information on how the contingency fee might apply in your case.
Statute of Limitations in Maryland Personal Injury Cases
Maryland’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is three years from the date of your injury. If you file your lawsuit after the statute of limitations deadline passes, you will forfeit your right to pursue compensation because a court will not hear your case.
Keep in mind that there are exceptions to the three-year deadline, such as when you intend to sue a government agency or when the party you intend to sue flees Maryland.
Contact us if you are not sure if the statute of limitations has yet to pass in your case. This is a determination we can make during your free initial consultation.
