Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland

Losing a loved one suddenly in a motor vehicle accident is not something that we are prepared to deal with.  What many people fail to realize is the overwhelming mental and emotional impact the sudden loss of a loved one can have. In many instances, families are so stricken by grief that it's extremely difficult to move forward. Combining the mental and emotional impacts with financial consequences can be completely devastating. Not only are families expected to pick up the broken pieces they are left with, but they are also forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funeral arrangements.
