Maryland and Washington, D.C. are two of only five jurisdictions in the nation that operate under the concept of contributory negligence. That means that even if you are found to be just 1% at fault for your own injuries, you have no right to compensation. With this in mind, it's easy to see why the responsible party's lawyers will be looking for any possible way to prove negligence on your part.
Don't let a desperate legal defense strategy leave you shouldering the burden of astronomical medical bills, a reduced capacity to work, and other devastating losses.

View on GoogleHow to Prepare for Your Case Review
When you schedule a free case review at our Rockville law office, you can start preparing by doing the following:
Collect Any Evidence Related to the Accident
If you happened to gather any photos or videos of the accident or the circumstances of it, please bring them for us to examine. If you gathered any contact information from eyewitnesses, we need that information as well. Meanwhile, if you have evidence such as a damaged bicycle or other personal property, that can also be important to your case. If you are able to easily bring these items to your consultation, please do so. Otherwise, we can arrange to pick up any items that are not easily transportable.
Gather All Medical Documentation
If you haven't been evaluated by a medical professional after your accident, our lawyers recommend you receive a medical evaluation immediately. A report from a medical professional detailing any injuries you sustained from the car accident can strengthen your claim for compensation. If you have seen a medical professional, we recommend you continue any ongoing physical therapy and follow-up visits. Even if you think you don't need further treatment, it is imperative that you keep all appointments. Some injuries take time to reveal themselves.
Don't Discuss Your Case with Third Parties
After your accident, you can expect to be contacted by the driver's insurance company. Do not admit fault and do not accept any settlements offered by the insurance company. It's in their best interest to offer you as little as possible for your losses, or to absolve their client of all liability by proving that you are in some way responsible for your own injuries. You should also abstain from saying anything at all about your case on social media. Your words could be easily twisted or misconstrued and used against you in your case.
Standing Up to Rideshare Companies Injured by an Uber or Lyft? Call Greenblatt & Veliev
Both Uber and Lyft provide insurance for drivers that covers accidents with pedestrians and other vehicles. However, the average person stands little chance of collecting the full amount their case is worth when they confront these companies' legal teams and insurance divisions on their own.
That’s where the pedestrian accident attorneys of Greenblatt & Veliev come in. Get in touch with our lawyers today if you were injured by a rideshare vehicle.
We can review the company’s standards for drivers and vehicles, determine who is ultimately liable, and handle all dealings with the insurance company and opposing counsel on your behalf.

View on GoogleRules and Regulations for Pedestrians In Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Beyond
Like motorists, pedestrians have a right to travel in public safely, but they must abide by certain rules of the road.
Some pedestrians may assume they always have the right-of-way when it comes to motor vehicles. This is not true. In some circumstances, motor vehicles have the right-of-way over pedestrians. Walkers, runners, and bicyclists in Maryland and Washington D.C. should follow these laws to stay safe:
Obey all traffic signals
Use marked crosswalks when they are available
Walk on sidewalks where they are present instead of the road
No crossing intersections diagonally, unless directed by a traffic controller (usually a police officer)
If you think you broke some of these rules and are partially responsible for your pedestrian accident involving a motor vehicle, you should still contact our Rockville, MD, law office. We will conduct a free case review to determine if you have a case against the driver.
Rules Motorists Must Follow For Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety
Motorists should give the right-of-way to those crossing marked and unmarked crosswalks
Drivers cannot park or stop on crosswalks
Drivers must yield to pedestrians on sidewalks, even if the sidewalks go over an alley or driveway
Bike lanes are for bikes only
Drivers must exercise due care to avoid all potential collisions
While there are instances in which drivers have the right-of-way over pedestrians and bicyclists, motorists should exercise extra caution to avoid causing injury or death to pedestrians and bicyclists on the roads and sidewalks.
