Determining Liability in Maryland Car Accidents
Establishing Liability in Car Accidents:
To prove liability in Maryland car accidents, you need to show that the responsible party's negligence directly caused the accident and your injuries. This typically involves demonstrating:
- The at-fault party had a duty to drive safely.
- They breached this duty through reckless or careless actions.
- Their breach was a direct cause of the accident.
- The accident led to damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Multiple Parties and Liability
In some car accident cases, multiple parties may share responsibility for the victim's damages and injuries. For example, besides the negligent driver, other potentially liable parties could include vehicle manufacturers, government entities responsible for road maintenance, or even establishments that served alcohol to an intoxicated driver. Our attorneys will carefully assess all potential avenues of liability to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries.
