Auto Accidents in Maryland

Over the past five years, the annual average of auto accidents in Maryland has exceeded 115,000, with many of these accidents taking place on highways. Approximately 28% of automobile accidents occurred on highways, while county roads accounted for 23%, and interstate highways constituted over 10% of the total. When accidents involve vehicles traveling at high speeds, the risk of severe injuries to those involved significantly increases.
In instances where victims are injured in crashes caused by drivers who exhibit reckless behavior, such as speeding, they may have legal remedies available. Maryland follows a tort system wherein the at-fault driver assumes liability for the resulting injuries and damages. This legal framework enables victims to pursue legal action against negligent drivers to seek compensation for medical expenses, repair costs for their vehicles, lost earnings, and other financial burdens they encounter.
However, despite the responsibility of insurance companies to cover various costs for victims, they often fight tooth and nail against injured parties in order to get out of paying. For this reason, working with a Maryland car accident attorney becomes invaluable following your accident. A skilled and knowledgeable legal team will fearlessly advocate for you, holding wrongdoers accountable and fighting to secure the rightful compensation you deserve.
