Ellicott City, Maryland Car Accident Causes and Fault

Inclement weather and animals running in front of cars can cause accidents, but those types of accidents are often unavoidable, and they only account for a small number of collisions. Most accidents are caused by errors, unsafe driving, or other negligent behaviors. Negligence can apply in many ways, and not only for drivers. For example, cargo loaders who do not correctly secure loads could be responsible for truck accidents, and government entities that fail to keep roads maintained could also be at fault. With many potential variables, it is vital to determine why and how a collision happened to establish fault.

Negligent driving errors that could indicate fault include:

Improper merging or passing
Tailgating
Misjudging other vehicles' speeds
Inattention or driver distraction
Ignoring school or construction zone restrictions
Speeding
Knowingly driving an unsafe car
Drowsy driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

These negligent behaviors are dangerous, and they often lead to accidents. They can also give you grounds for compensation as long as you do not share any fault for causing your crash.

Eligible Damages in Ellicott City, MD Car Accident Claims

An average settlement amount does not exist. Instead, case-specific factors will be considered to determine your specific damages and how much you might receive for accident-related expenses and emotional or mental losses. Many car crash victims collect damages for:

Property damage
Medical treatment
Replacement services and ongoing care
Lost income
Inconvenience
Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Pain and suffering
Other intangible losses that lower your quality of life

Insurance companies do not like paying claims, so getting enough damages to cover all of your losses is usually challenging. When you partner with Whitlock Law, LLC, we will not back down from our fight to help you get every dollar you deserve.
