Lawyers Fighting for Victims of Auto Accidents in Chevy Chase, Maryland

Nobody plans to be injured in a car accident, but thousands of collisions happen daily. Whether you live in Chevy Chase or are traveling through the area, a crash caused by someone else’s negligent behavior could allow you to recover financial compensation. Claims in these cases are rarely straightforward, and few injured victims have the legal knowledge, resources, experience, and skills required to navigate the obstacles that can stand between them and the compensation they deserve.

When you partner with Whitlock Law, LLC, your legal team will be by your side, helping you overcome potential challenges in your personal injury claim. We will do everything in our power to protect your best interests and right to fair compensation. Call us 24/7 to schedule your free consultation. Se Habla Español.

Determining Fault and Your Eligibility for Compensation After a Chevy Chase, MD Car Accident

To file a compensation claim, you need to know who was responsible for causing your collision. The at-fault party could be a driver, pedestrian, employer, vehicle owner, or others. When Whitlock Law, LLC investigates your crash, we will look for evidence that proves someone’s negligence caused it, as that will serve as the foundation for your claim. Negligent driver behaviors that frequently lead to accidents include:

Driving too fast for the conditions on the road
Exceeding the speed limit
Ignoring traffic laws
Driver fatigue
Disregarding restrictions in construction or school zones
Running stop signs
Failing to yield the right of way
Distracted driving

Evidence showing that one or more drivers engaged in these negligent behaviors is used to determine fault, which establishes liability for paying compensation to injured victims. Maryland’s pure contributory negligence laws prohibit you from collecting payment if you are partially at fault for your accident, but we still encourage you to consult with our knowledgeable attorneys. Whitlock Law, LLC will evaluate your situation and explain your legal options.

Potential Damages in Chevy Chase, Maryland Auto Collision Claims

You probably have several unexpected expenses related to your car accident, and these issues may have created financial strain for you and your family. Recovering from your injuries may prevent you from working, possibly leaving you wondering how to pay your bills. The compensation you could receive after a car crash should reimburse you for these accident-related expenses, which are called economic damages.

You may also be suffering from significant pain, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish. Non-economic damages are sometimes challenging to place an accurate value on because they are intangible. Still, you deserve to be compensated for the ways another party’s negligence may have diminished your quality of life, such as:

Pain and suffering
Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Inconvenience
Losing the ability to enjoy life
Disfigurement
Disability

Generally speaking, the more severely these conditions affect you, the more compensation you could receive. You can rely on Whitlock Law, LLC to meticulously examine your eligible damages and work diligently to help you secure the full payment you deserve.

Insurance Company Tactics Designed to Devalue Your Chevy Chase, MD Car Accident Claim

No insurance company wants to pay your claim. Rather than offering you a fair settlement amount, they may engage in some or all of the following tactics:

Attempting to discredit you
Knowingly offering a low settlement
Trying to intimidate you into accepting a settlement amount before you reach maximum medical improvement
Saying you do not deserve non-economic damages
Twisting your innocent statements into an admission of fault
Refusing to negotiate
Denying your claim

When you partner with Whitlock Law, LLC, we will not put up with these unfair and unethical strategies. We refuse to be intimidated, and we will not let insurers take advantage of you.
