Pedestrian wrecks in the state of Maryland send more than 3,000 people to area hospitals with injuries each year. Quite often, pedestrians suffer severe and life-threatening injuries due to the fact that they are unprotected during crashes. We see many people harmed in these accidents suffer from severe injuries like spinal cord injuries, traumatic, brain injuries, internal organ damage, and severe compound fractures. These incidents are often caused by negligent, reckless, and malicious motorists. We see many people injured in crashes caused by drivers who:
