Urbana Car Accident Lawyer

Urbana, Maryland Attorney Helping Car Accident Victims Fight for Maximum Compensation

One of Maryland's smaller communities, Urbana, was settled in 1730. Although it is not as large as some cities, Urbana is home to various historic places, businesses, data centers, and residents. With I-70 on the southwestern border, traffic from other communities travels through the area to and from Washington, D.C. Whether you are a commuter, tourist, or resident, you need effective legal representation if you are injured in an Urbana car accident.

Maryland's laws governing personal injury cases like these are some of the strictest in the nation. They prevent you from recovering compensation if you bear any responsibility for causing a crash. Your claim may involve other challenges, and a single mistake on your part can make you ineligible to receive compensation or result in far less compensation than your case is worth. When you partner with Whitlock Law, LLC, you can rely on us to give you the support and legal guidance you need, helping to ensure that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

Understanding Fault in Urbana, MD Motor Vehicle Collisions

Most personal injury cases, including car crashes, will focus on negligence. In legal matters, negligence is the failure to act in the way that a reasonable person would have in a similar situation. Every driver has a duty to use reasonable care to avoid harming others. Many driving behaviors that lead to accidents are negligent, including:

Speeding
Distracted driving
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Disregarding traffic laws
Following too closely
Failing to yield the right of way
Running stop lights or signs
Improper merging

If we can show that the driver who caused your crash is guilty of these or other forms of negligence, this can help ensure that you will be able to recover compensation. However, getting that compensation is not as simple as filing a claim that blames someone else and waiting for payment; instead, you must have evidence establishing liability. You must also understand the damages you are eligible for and how much you should receive, and you may have to fight with insurance companies that do not want to pay your claim.

Overcoming Challenges in Urbana Maryland Car Accident Claims

In your quest for compensation, you may face multiple challenges and obstacles, such as those posed by:

Hit-and-run drivers who remain unidentified
Government entity involvement
Commercial vehicles
Rideshare drivers or other contracted drivers
Uninsured or underinsured motorists
Maryland's pure contributory negligence laws

Insurance company tactics designed to eliminate or lower your payment can take many forms, including manipulating fault, making intentionally low settlement offers, using your own statements against you, or denying valid claims. You may be eligible for multiple types of damages, such as lost wages, medical and ongoing care costs, loss of the ability to enjoy your life, pain and suffering, and other applicable losses. The more significant your injuries, the higher your damages are likely to be.

High amounts of damages typically make insurers fight harder, making it imperative to choose your attorney wisely. You need someone who will not back down from a fight and who will always put your best interests first.

The Whitlock Difference

Some attorneys take a wide variety of cases rather than focusing on personal injury law, so they often lack the legal knowledge and trial experience to win car accident claims. Others might advise clients to accept a settlement rather than going to trial, costing them significant sums just so the lawyer does not have to work hard. You are unlikely to get the best results if you choose these attorneys.

If you are looking for a focused personal injury lawyer who refuses to let greedy insurers take advantage of you, call Whitlock Law, LLC. Attorney Whitlock has been featured in Forbes for her dedication to her clients and her determination to make a real difference, and she has tried and won cases in Baltimore, all Maryland counties, and most counties in Virginia. Her considerable experience, coupled with her unwavering belief in right versus wrong, means you cannot find better legal representation.
