Car Accidents in Maryland

We see thousands of people in the state of Maryland injured in car accidents due to drivers who engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles. We see many people suffer injuries caused by motorists who:

• Speed
• Run red lights
• Fail to yield the right of way
• Drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Drive while using their phones or eating or engaging in other distracting behaviors
• Drivers who change lanes without checking for other vehicles

When people are involved in collisions, they often require medical care. This is the fate of tens of thousands of people in our state every year. Many people have to go to area hospitals straight from the scene of their crashes. In countless instances, people have to go through emergency surgery and spend several days hospitalized. Many people hurt in crashes have to go through months of therapy. Dealing with painful injuries is only a process that is made worse by towering medical expenses.
