Lawyer for Head-On Collisions, Rear-End Accidents, and Other Car Crashes in Severn, Maryland

Personal Injury Truck Accidents Motorcycle Accidents Wrongful Death

A car accident can happen quickly and without warning. However, the effects of an accident can last for months or years. A victim may be seriously injured, requiring extensive medical treatment. They may be forced to take time away from work, leading to a loss of income. They may also struggle with multiple types of difficulties during their recovery, including severe pain and ongoing emotional trauma.

When a car crash has been caused by the negligence of a driver or another party, a person who has been injured can take steps to obtain financial compensation that will address the harm they have suffered. At Whitlock Law, our attorney represents car accident victims in Severn and the surrounding area, working to build strong cases and make sure full and fair compensation will be paid.

Types of Car Accidents

Not all car accidents are alike. The angle of impact, the speeds and positions of the vehicles, and other factors can affect the types of injuries that may occur. Our lawyer can handle all types of car accident cases, including:

Rear-End Collisions

One vehicle may strike the back of another because a driver was distracted, was following too closely, was speeding, or failed to brake in time. Although rear-end crashes may seem like minor accidents, they can cause serious injuries affecting a person's neck, back, and spine or other parts of their body. Soft tissue injuries such as whiplash may not be recognized right away, which is why it is important to seek medical attention after a crash.

Head-On Collisions

Wrong-way driving, drowsy driving, drunk driving, or illegal passing can lead to dangerous crashes in which two vehicles collide front-to-front. Survivors of head-on car accidents may experience severe and catastrophic injuries that will require extended medical care and rehabilitation, or they may be permanently disabled.

T-Bone Accidents

Side-impact crashes can be dangerous, because the sides of a vehicle may not be able to protect people from the impact of another vehicle. T-bone collisions can happen at intersections when a driver runs a red light or stop sign or in other situations where drivers cross traffic without making sure a road is clear. These collisions can lead to severe head, chest, and hip injuries and other forms of bodily harm.

Sideswipe Accidents

Collisions in which vehicles make contact along their sides can occur because of improper lane changes, distracted driving, or illegal merging. While some sideswipe collisions may only cause minor damage to vehicles, others may cause people to lose control of their vehicles and crash into other cars, guardrails, or roadside obstacles.

Rollover Accidents

When a vehicle turns over onto its side or roof during a collision, the people inside can be seriously injured. Taller vehicles like SUVs, vans, and pickup trucks are more likely to roll over. A rollover crash can occur when a vehicle hits a curb or object, when a driver attempts a sharp turn at an unsafe speed, or in a side-impact collision.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents

Chain-reaction accidents or pile-ups involving three or more vehicles may occur in a variety of situations. In a rear-end accident, a vehicle may be pushed into another vehicle, causing additional injuries to drivers or passengers. On a highway, a crash between two vehicles may create an obstacle that other drivers are unable to avoid. Establishing fault for a multi-vehicle accident will often require a detailed investigation to determine who caused the initial crash and how the actions of other drivers may have led to secondary collisions.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

When Parties Other Than Drivers May Be Liable for Car Accidents

Even though driver negligence is responsible for many car accidents, there are some situations where other parties may also share responsibility. Identifying every liable party can help ensure that a victim will be able to obtain compensation. Our attorney can determine how to address liability by parties such as:

Government Entities

When roads are poorly designed or maintained, a city, county, or state government may be liable for accidents that occur. Issues such as potholes, crumbling pavement, faded lane markings, malfunctioning traffic signals, inadequate lighting, and poorly designed intersections may create dangerous conditions that lead to crashes. The government entity responsible for road design or maintenance may be held liable for failing to protect the safety of people who used the roads.

Pursuing a claim against a government entity may involve complex issues that would not apply in other types of personal injury cases. Our lawyer can make sure the proper notices are filed within the correct timeframes while working to address safety issues that affected an injury victim and secure compensation for their damages.

Vehicle and Parts Manufacturers

When a crash is caused by a defective part on a vehicle, the manufacturer of that part may be held liable. Defective parts that can lead to accidents and injuries include:

Brake Failures: Brake systems that malfunction can prevent a driver from stopping in time to avoid a collision.
Tire Defects: A tire blowout or lack of traction can cause a sudden loss of vehicle control and lead to an accident.
Steering and Suspension Failures: Defects in these components can make a vehicle impossible to control, preventing a driver from being able to avoid a collision.
Airbag Defects: In some cases, airbags may not deploy during a crash, or they may explode and cause serious injuries.
Seat Belt Failures: When safety systems fail to properly restrain drivers, they may not prevent people from suffering serious injuries in a car crash.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
