Frederick, MD Car Accident Causes and Injuries

Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents can happen for various reasons, and sometimes, multiple contributing factors are involved. Car accident claims rest on proving that some form of negligence caused the collision. 94 percent of traffic accidents happen due to negligent human errors, such as:

• Driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol
• Ignoring restrictions in school zones or construction zones
• Following too closely (tailgating)
• Disregarding traffic laws or ignoring traffic signs or signals
• Misjudging another driver's intentions or speed
• Driver distraction or inattention
• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
• Driving while drowsy or fatigued

Most accidents caused by these and other kinds of negligence could have been avoided. Still, the injuries sustained remain the same, regardless of what caused them. Common injuries from traffic collisions include burns, organ or soft tissue damage, whiplash, head or facial injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, bruising, cuts, and spinal cord injuries.

Frederick, Maryland Auto Collision Damages and Potential Claim Complications

If you qualify for compensation, your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC will evaluate your various damages. Damages can refer to either specific accident-related losses or the money you could receive because of those losses. The dollar amounts associated with different damages can vary depending on case-specific factors, but we will calculate your damages carefully to ensure that we include every available dollar. Your damages could include:

• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Medical expenses
• Replacement services and ongoing care costs
• Pain and suffering
• Inconvenience
• Damage to personal relationships
• Other conditions that diminish your quality of life

Depending on the long-term consequences of your accident and injuries, you might be eligible for future medical care costs and other categories of financial compensation.

Although you may deserve compensation, that does not mean you can easily get a reasonable sum. In fact, many accident claims have complications that require experience and legal knowledge to overcome. Common challenges include:

• Claim denials
• Hit-and-run accidents involving hit-and-run
• Uninsured or underinsured motorists
• Establishing liability in commercial vehicle or multiple vehicle collisions
• Maryland's pure contributory negligence laws
• Insurance companies' attempts to sabotage claims
• Claims against a government entity
• Multiple at-fault parties
• Unreasonably low settlement offers

Would you know how to navigate these challenges effectively? Most people do not. However, this is what Whitlock Law, LLC does, and we will always fight for you, working to ensure that you will have the financial resources you need to make a full recovery.
