Kinds of Car Crashes We Can Help You With

Auto collisions can happen for many reasons, and determining why yours occurred is vital to establish liability and hold the at-fault parties accountable. Common causes include:

• Distracted drivers
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Speeding or traveling too fast for conditions
• Failing to yield to a vehicle that has the right of way
• Disregarding traffic signals and signs
• Inexperienced drivers
• Roadway hazards, including construction zones

Most of these causes are forms of negligence, meaning that the person causing the collision did not use reasonable care to avoid harming others. Negligence is the basis for most personal injury claims.

Although the contributing factors for some crashes are obvious, other collisions require an investigation. When you choose Whitlock Law, LLC, we will investigate your collision for you and find evidence to support your claim.

Damages in Car Accident Claims

Car accidents often leave victims with multiple injuries, such as broken bones, organ damage, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, and seat belt and airbag injuries. Victims may face prolonged medical treatment and recovery periods, with medical expenses rising while no income is coming in. Along with the financial aspects of an injury, victims may also experience other losses that diminish their quality of life. Even worse, some victims lose their lives.

Damages in these cases are amounts of money intended to reimburse or compensate victims for losses resulting from a car crash. They may include:

• Medical treatment and ongoing care costs
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of the ability to enjoy life

Families of fatal car collision victims may qualify to obtain additional damages through a wrongful death action. Case-specific factors will be considered to determine the damages you might receive, and your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC will pursue every available dollar on your behalf.

How Whitlock Law, LLC Can Help With Your Motor Vehicle Collision Case

Maryland is one of only a few states that follow the principle of pure contributory negligence in personal injury cases. Under this doctrine, you cannot obtain compensation if you are partially responsible for causing your car crash. This is why consulting with Whitlock Law, LLC is so important. Many people incorrectly assume that they are ineligible for compensation, and they may choose not to pursue a claim when they could have. We cannot tell you if you qualify to file a claim until we investigate your accident, but we can promise that we will do everything in our power to help. When you partner with us, we will:

• File all case-related paperwork for you
• Handle all communications with insurance companies

We believe the client’s best interests are all that matters. Attorney Whitlock will personally handle your case, and she loves working hard.
