Common Causes of Car Crashes In Maryland

Although motor vehicle accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, in Maryland, these accidents tend to frequently occur due to:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving, such as texting and driving, talking on the phone while driving, or even eating while driving
• Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Not abiding by traffic signs or signals
• Reckless driving
• Automobile defects 
• Dangerous streets and intersections, including Gwynns Falls Parkway and the intersection at Reisterstown Road, Jones Falls Expressway (JFX), also known as I-83 South, I-95, and Orleans Street at Gay and Ensor Streets, and South Monroe Street at Washington Boulevard

However, while these may be some of the more common causes of car accidents in Maryland, this list does not provide every single reason behind these crashes. For these reasons, if you were injured in a car accident in Maryland for a reason not indicated above, do not let this stop you from contacting an experienced car accident attorney and figuring out what legal options you may have. 

Common Injuries Following a Motor Vehicle Accident 

The repercussions of a motor vehicle accident can be deadly, as these accidents can cause serious harm to almost every part of the body. However, the extent of these injuries will usually depend on the circumstances of the accident.

In general, the more common traumas that tend to result from these accidents include: 

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage
• Back and neck injuries
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Soft tissue injuries
• Crushing injuries
• Internal injuries and bleeding
• Facial trauma 
• Eye injuries
• Amputations
• Lacerations
• Emotional Trauma
• Death

These injuries can also result in astronomical medical bills that can forever impact you and your family financially.

For these reasons, if you want to review the options you have when it comes to paying for these bills, contact the legal team at the Dolman Law Group. Our experienced Maryland car accident attorneys can not only review the extent of your injuries, but we can also figure out what needs to be done to go after the maximum financial damages you require to cover your medical treatments now and in the future. 

Determining If You Have a Legal Claim Following a Maryland Car Accident

Before taking action after a Maryland car accident, you must answer several questions to determine whether you have a valid injury claim.

These questions include:

• Did you suffer injuries following the motor vehicle accident?
• What was the extent of the trauma you endured? 
• Is there insurance coverage available following the accident?
• Has time run out to pursue legal action after the car crash?

When you work with a skilled Maryland car accident lawyer, you will not have to figure out these answers alone. Instead, our legal professionals can review your accident, determine whether you have a viable legal claim, and lay out your legal options. 

The Legal Options You Have Following a Maryland Car Crash

Maryland is an at-fault state, meaning that financial expenses following an accident are covered by the insurance company belonging to the person who caused the accident.

Consequently, if you suffered harm in a car accident in the state, there are three ways you can pursue compensation for the losses and harm you suffered:

• You file a legal claim against the liable driver's insurance company
• You pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party
• You file an uninsured motorist claim on your own insurance policy, if the liable driver does not have insurance

However, to determine which legal options you can pursue, discuss your case with a skilled Maryland car accident attorney from the Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA. Our legal team can review what happened, look into your options, and help you determine your next steps. 

What Monetary Damages Can You Pursue After a Maryland Car Crash?

Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue monetary damages following your Maryland car crash. These damages are usually broken up into the following categories: 

Economic Damages

These damages refer to losses that have an actual price tag attached to them, such as:

• Past and current medical bills related to doctor visits, hospitalization, emergency visits, ambulance rides, surgeries, therapy, and prescription medications
• Lost income, business opportunities, bonuses, and reduced earning capacity
• Personal property damages, including replacement services and repair costs
• Domestic replacement services such as grocery shopping or child care services
• Ongoing medical treatments

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages do not have a specific dollar amount attached to the losses. These damages compensate a victim for their losses, but they are intangible, making it harder to assign a specific monetary value to them.

Non-economic damages include things such as:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of enjoyment and quality of life
• Limb loss
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Humiliation and inconvenience due to the injuries

Wrongful Death Damages

Wrongful death refers to a situation where a person passes away because of the negligence or misbehavior of another person.

The surviving family members of the descendant usually file these claims to recover compensation for their losses related to this death, including damages related to:

• Loss of parental or marital care
• Loss of comfort, companionship, and protection, 
• Emotional pain and suffering, and mental anguish
• The potential lost contributions the decedent would have made had they survived

The Damages You Can Go After

If you want to know which of these damages you can pursue following a Maryland car accident, contact our experienced car accident lawyers as soon as possible. These legal professionals can review the financial remedies you can fight for and secure every last dollar you deserve. 

Deal Carefully With the Insurance Company

While you may want to believe that the insurance company is there to support you after a motor vehicle collision, the truth is that the insurance company does not have your best interest in mind. Like other businesses, they want to make money, and the less they have to pay out in insurance claims, the more profit they make.

That is why insurance companies try whatever tactic they can to get car accident victims to admit to fault or say or do something that can hurt their case.

As a result, following a Maryland car accident, discuss the crash with an experienced car accident attorney from the Dolman Law Group before you say anything to the insurance company.

Our legal team can help you better understand the tactics the insurance company may try on you, and we can take over these discussions on your behalf, ensuring that the insurer and their adjusters do not try to take advantage of you after this devastating accident. 

Filing a Case Before Time Runs Out in Maryland

Another important issue car accident victims must keep track of is the time limitations to file a legal case. In Maryland, the deadline to pursue a suit after a motor vehicle accident is three years from the accident. However, exceptions can change this filing period. Furthermore, if an individual does not file their case by this deadline, the court can bar them from pursuing the money they deserve. 

As a result, if you want to make sure you file your legal claim before time runs out, consider discussing your case with a dedicated car accident attorney as soon as possible. These lawyers can promptly review the applicable laws in the state, figure out how much time you have to file your legal claim, and help ensure that the appropriate files, documents, and motions are prepared and submitted before time runs out.
