Germantown Car Accident Attorneys

Trusted Auto Accident Attorneys Helping Injured Victims in Germantown, Maryland

If you are injured in a car accident, recovering involves more than just physical healing. Many victims feel overwhelmed by mounting expenses, uncertainties about recovering compensation, and the many intangible effects that auto collisions can cause. When someone else's negligence is responsible for causing the accident that injured you, they should be held accountable for your damages.

Many injured victims are not prepared to handle the legal aspects of their accident claims, and they may make costly mistakes. However, you do not have to face the aftermath of your accident alone. When you choose to partner with Whitlock Law, LLC, you get more than just a lawyer; you also gain our full support, legal guidance, and determination to see you achieve a successful resolution to your claim.

Germantown Auto Accidents and the Injuries They May Cause

Whether you were involved in a car, truck, pedestrian, bicycle, or motorcycle accident, you likely sustained multiple injuries, such as:

Broken bones
Whiplash
Organ or soft tissue damage
Facial, head, or brain injuries
Burns
Spinal cord damage, including partial or total paralysis

These and other injuries can cause significant pain and the need for surgeries, hospital stays, extended recovery periods, and rehabilitation. As your medical bills continue to grow, your income will probably be disrupted while you are away from work. Your car is likely to need repairs or replacement, and you may need to pay someone to help you with everyday tasks.

Along with your accident-related financial losses, you may also suffer from emotional or mental distress. Although many physical injuries improve over time, some never heal completely, leaving victims with disabilities or disfigurement.

Each victim's injuries and the effects on their lives are different, and so is the amount of compensation you could receive. Your damages might include:

Lost wages
Costs of emergency medical treatment and ongoing care
Property damage
Expenses of modifying your car or home to accommodate a disability caused by your collision
Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Necessary medical equipment
Pain and suffering
Losing the ability to enjoy life

Most victims are unaware of the various damages they could qualify for or how much they should receive. While you might think they would pay your claim fairly, insurers typically try to undermine claims to lower or eliminate payments. They may offer low settlement amounts, intimidate you, attempt to discredit you, or even completely deny your claim. Your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC will not put up with these underhanded strategies, and we will not let insurers take advantage of you.

Understanding Negligence and Fault in Germantown, Maryland Car Crashes

Negligence is the basis for most personal injury cases, including car accidents. When you have evidence proving that another party's negligence caused your collision, you likely have grounds to hold them liable for paying you. However, Maryland's negligence laws prevent you from collecting any payment if you share any fault for your crash. We will discuss your eligibility and your legal options during your free consultation.

Negligent driving behaviors can be actions or failure to act, including:

Failing to yield the right of way
Speeding
Failing to check blind spots before merging
Passing in restricted areas
Distracted driving or inattention
Drowsy driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Judgment errors
Failing to follow school or construction zone restrictions

Your legal team from Whitlock Law, LLC will investigate your accident to determine why and how it happened. We will gather evidence to establish fault and liability, and then we will work tirelessly to help you recover as much compensation as you deserve.
