Determining Car Accident Liability in Maryland

Determining liability in a car accident is a critical aspect of pursuing a personal injury claim in Maryland. The state follows the doctrine of contributory negligence, which means that if you are found even partially at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering damages. This means your case could be attacked by implying that you shared some fault in the car crash that injured you. We take steps to put a stop to these arguments. To establish liability, our attorneys consider factors such as:

• Negligence: Demonstrating that the other party was negligent and breached their duty of care while operating their vehicle.
• Traffic Violations: Proving that the other driver violated traffic laws, such as running a red light or failing to yield the right of way.
• Witness Statements: Collecting statements from witnesses who can provide crucial information about the accident.
• Police Reports: Analyzing accident reports prepared by law enforcement.
• Expert Testimony: Utilizing experts, such as accident reconstruction specialists, to provide insight into the dynamics of the accident.

Injuries Resulting from Car Accidents

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to severe. Some common injuries include:

• Whiplash: Neck and spine injuries caused by sudden jerking motions during an accident.
• Broken Bones: Fractures of bones, often requiring surgery and rehabilitation.
• Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions.
• Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs that may not be immediately apparent.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, often causing chronic pain.
• Emotional Trauma: Psychological distress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
