Determining Your Eligibility for Compensation After a Kensington, MD Car Accident

Like most other personal injury claims, car accident claims are based on negligence. Every driver has a legal duty of care to drive safely and avoid harming others. When someone fails at that duty, this is considered negligence. You need proof that someone's negligence caused your collision and the related damages, which are specific losses and the money you might obtain for them. Negligent driving behaviors that frequently cause accidents include:

Failing to yield the right of way
Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
Tailgating
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Fatigued driving
Running red lights
Failing to check blind spots before merging
Distracted driving
Reckless or aggressive driving
Knowingly driving an unsafe vehicle

These and other negligent behaviors can give you grounds to file a compensation claim. In some cases, parties other than drivers could also be liable, such as government entities who failed to ensure that roads or intersections were safe.

Another vital part of determining your eligibility is your own fault for contributing to your crash. In Maryland, you cannot collect compensation if you bear any responsibility for the collision. Even if you believe you are partly at fault, you can still call Whitlock Law, LLC to discuss your legal options.

Damages in Kensington, Maryland Car Accident Claims

If you qualify for compensation, you will need to determine the value of your damages. Damages are different for everyone, because case-specific factors must be considered. However, many injured victims of car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, and other kinds of motor vehicle collisions receive compensation for:

Medical expenses
Ongoing care and replacement services
Lost income
Property damage
Anxiety, depression, and PTSD
Damage to personal relationships
Diminished quality of life
Pain and suffering

Your lawyer from Whitlock Law, LLC knows how to evaluate your damages accurately, and we will try to reach an acceptable amount through settlement negotiations. However, some insurers do not make reasonable offers. In those cases, we can file a civil lawsuit and take your case to trial.

Motor Vehicle Collision Claim Challenges

Various complications can arise during your quest for compensation. One mistake can disqualify you from collecting a payout or significantly reduce the amount you may receive. Common challenges include:

Uninsured/underinsured motorists
Hit-and-run collisions
Determining liability for commercial vehicles
Government agency involvement
Insurance companies sabotaging your claim
Multiple-vehicle collisions

When you choose Whitlock Law, LLC, we know how to overcome these and other challenges, and we will work to reach a favorable case result for you.
