Car Accidents in Maryland
Approximately 43% of all accidents in Maryland take place at intersections. Unfortunately, negligence often contributes to these accidents occurring. One of the primary causes of intersection accidents is drivers who recklessly run red lights. Disregarding traffic signals and failing to stop as required often leads to collisions with other vehicles. Unfortunately, this dangerous behavior occurs all too frequently throughout Maryland.
There are also many accidents that are caused by drivers who ignore stop signs. These signs are specifically installed to ensure the safe passage of motorists at intersections. However, when drivers choose to disregard them and proceed without stopping, they become a danger to others, potentially causing severe harm through collisions with other vehicles.
Distractions also play a significant role in intersection accidents. When drivers divert their attention away from the road, they may fail to notice stop signs or red lights. Consequently, they may unknowingly proceed through intersections and collide with unsuspecting vehicles.
Given the nature of intersection accidents, one or more vehicles involved often end up in rollover situations. The front-to-side impact common in these collisions increases the likelihood of rollovers. Even if a vehicle doesn't roll over, the chances of sustaining serious injuries in these accidents remain significant.
