Car Accident Lawyers Helping Injured Victims in Essex, Maryland

Car accidents happen quickly, but their effects can be long-lasting. Many victims are left with injuries, mounting expenses, undrivable vehicles, and significant pain. Being unable to work during the period of recovery from the injuries suffered in a car accident can add to the financial burden, leaving you wondering how to pay your bills. Stress, depression, and mental anguish are common issues that can result from these concerns. If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation. However, your injuries may have created limitations that could prevent you from handling your claim effectively, and you may not know the best ways to address and overcome the challenges you may encounter.

Understanding Fault and Liability in Essex, MD Car Accidents

Before filing a compensation claim following a car accident, an investigation into your crash will need to be performed to understand why and how it happened. The results should identify one or more contributing factors, such as:

Speeding
Tailgating
Aggressive or reckless driving
Driver fatigue
Judgment or maneuvering errors
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Driving too fast for road or weather conditions
Failing to yield the right of way
Running stop signs
Distracted driving
Violating other traffic laws

These driving behaviors are negligent, which can give you grounds to file a personal injury claim. When negligence causes a collision, the negligent party may be held liable for the harm they have caused. Your compensation claim will hold them accountable. However, it can sometimes be challenging to get the full amount of compensation you deserve.

Damages in Essex, Maryland Auto Collision Claims

In legal cases, “damages” has two meanings. First, it describes the financial, emotional, and mental losses you face as a direct result of your accident. Second, it refers to the money you might receive to compensate you for these losses.

Car accidents often produce various injuries, such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, whiplash, concussions, and bruising. Your injuries likely require medical care, and they may cause you to be unable to work during your recovery. To add to your financial burden, your car probably needs to be repaired or replaced. Economic damages will cover the financial losses caused by your accident.

Accidents and injuries can also cause significant pain and suffering. You may become depressed or anxious, and you could suffer from PTSD. Disfigurement caused by your collision can dramatically affect your quality of life, and your personal relationships may suffer. You may even lose your enjoyment of life. Non-economic damages will compensate you for these intangible, yet profound losses.
