Riverdale Park Car Accident Lawyer

Trusted Motor Vehicle Collision Attorney for Injuries in Riverdale Park, Maryland

Nobody expects to be involved in a car accident, but over 100,000 car crashes occur in Maryland every year. Many of these collisions produce injuries, and crash-related fatalities are also on the rise. The injuries you sustain, or the death of a loved one in a car crash, can have long-lasting effects. When another party's negligence is to blame, you deserve compensation.

Qualifying for compensation does not mean that receiving a fair amount is guaranteed. In fact, insurance companies typically try to avoid paying claims. These claims can also include various complications that may stand between you and a favorable case result. Working with a proven personal injury lawyer from Whitlock Law, LLC can significantly increase the likelihood of success. We offer free consultations, so call now. Se Habla Español.

How Negligence Can Cause Riverdale Park, MD Car Crashes

Every driver has a legal duty to use reasonable care to avoid causing accidents that harm others. As the basis for most personal injury claims, negligence involves the failure to behave like most people would in the same situation, whether by action or omission. Examples of negligent driving behaviors include:

Running red lights or stop signs
Distracted driving
Driving while intoxicated or impaired by drugs
Drowsy driving
Failing to use turn signals
Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
Failing to check blind spots before merging
Aggressive or reckless driving
Following too closely

Knowingly driving an unsafe vehicle, such as one with faulty brakes or a cracked windshield that limits visibility, is also negligent behavior. Most people understand that these and other human errors will likely result in otherwise avoidable collisions.

Government agencies that fail to maintain roads and traffic signals may also be found negligent if potholes, malfunctioning traffic lights, burned-out street lights, or other improperly maintained infrastructure contributed to causing a crash.

Obtaining Compensation After Riverdale Park Motor Vehicle Collisions

If someone else's negligence caused your injuries, you deserve to receive compensation that will cover your accident-related losses. However, many factors may present challenges that you need to overcome, such as:

Determining liability when commercial vehicles like tractor-trailer trucks are involved
Complying with strict procedures in claims against government entities
Finding the at-fault party in hit-and-run crashes
Unraveling fault in multiple-vehicle collisions
Filing uninsured or underinsured motorist claims against your own auto insurance policy
Assessing your own degree of fault

In Maryland, strict contributory negligence laws bar you from obtaining compensation if you share fault for causing your crash. Many injured victims assume they bear fault and do not file claims. However, consulting with a knowledgeable lawyer from Whitlock Law, LLC can help you understand your legal options, which may include eligibility to file an insurance claim.

Damages differ depending on case-specific factors, but you may qualify for:

Lost income
Medical expenses
Property damage
Replacement services
Pain and suffering
Other intangible consequences that adversely impact your quality of life

Your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC will evaluate your damages and help you collect the highest available amount.

The Whitlock Difference

Many claims can be settled through negotiations without needing to file a civil lawsuit and take your case to trial. Some attorneys suggest accepting a settlement offer because they do not want the hassle of preparing or trying your case, even if they know that you could receive a higher amount through a lawsuit. Others lack vital litigation experience.

When you choose Whitlock Law, LLC, we will try to settle your claim for the maximum available amount. If insurers refuse to offer a reasonable settlement amount, Attorney Whitlock will use her considerable experience to take your case to court. She has won cases in Baltimore, all Maryland counties, and most counties in Virginia. She is not afraid of hard work if that is what it takes to achieve the best possible results for your claim.
