Fault Is a Critical Factor in Gaithersburg, MD Car Accident Claims

Fault for causing an auto collision will not only determine who is liable for paying your damages, but it will also govern your eligibility for compensation. In Maryland, the state's laws prevent injured victims from collecting damages if they bear any degree of fault for causing their crash. Even if you believe you are partially responsible, you should consult with our attorney to verify your legal options.

Accident investigations are often needed to discover how and why they happened. The evidence uncovered in the investigation should point to at-fault parties and give you grounds to file a claim. Human error causes 94 percent of motor vehicle collisions. Frequent contributing factors include:

• Following too closely
• Driver inattention or distraction
• Judgment and maneuvering errors
• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Running red lights
• Improper merging or passing
• Fatigued driving

Each of these errors is considered negligent behavior that can be used to establish fault. Personal injury claims rest on proving that negligence in some form was the direct cause of your accident, injuries, and related damages.

Parties other than drivers can also contribute to causing accidents. For example, these parties may include:

• Government entities that fail to maintain roads and ensure that they are safe
• Cargo loaders who do not balance or secure loads correctly on commercial vehicles
• Employers who expect drivers to meet unreasonable delivery deadlines

Your lawyer from Whitlock Law, LLC will thoroughly investigate your crash, identify all liable parties, gather evidence to establish fault, and help you obtain the highest possible amount of compensation.
