Understanding Your Eligibility for Compensation After a Car Accident

Car accident claims are usually based on negligence. This legal concept means that someone did not use the same reasonable care that another person would have in the same situation to avoid harming you. Negligent human errors that could give you grounds to collect compensation include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Driving too fast for the road's conditions
• Judgment errors
• Aggressive driving
• Driving after using drugs or alcohol
• Improper passing or merging
• Driving while fatigued

Drivers are not the only ones who can cause a crash. Many truck accidents result from tire blowouts or failed brakes. Pedestrians can suddenly appear on roadways, and broken pavement or potholes can contribute to motorcycle or bicycle accidents. Inclement weather and animals darting in front of moving vehicles also cause many collisions. While a few accidents are unavoidable, most result from human error.

In Maryland, you cannot share any responsibility for causing your collision if you plan to collect compensation. Many injured victims mistakenly believe they share fault, and they may choose not to pursue claims as a result. Calling Whitlock Law, LLC is the best way to determine your eligibility.
