Attorney for Motor Vehicle Collisions Caused by Negligence in Severna Park, MD

Personal Injury Rideshare Accidents Truck Accidents Motorcycle Accidents

A car crash that takes place on a neighborhood street or other road in Severna Park or one of the highways that stretch through the area can result in multiple types of serious injuries. A victim may experience pain and emotional trauma, and they may struggle to handle financial issues related to medical bills, missed work, vehicle damage, and more.

Legal help will often be needed to ensure that a person can receive the full compensation they deserve.

The attorney at Whitlock Law can help people who have been injured in car accidents understand what happened, who may be held responsible, and what steps should be taken to obtain compensation that will fully address their damages.

Driver Negligence Is a Leading Cause of Car Accidents

Most car accidents involve some form of negligence. A driver may be responsible for causing a car accident if they failed to take reasonable care behind the wheel. When drivers fail to follow traffic laws, pay attention to the road, and ensure that they can operate their vehicles safely, they may be held liable for causing a collision.

Unsafe driving behavior that can lead to car accidents may include:

Distracted Driving: Texting while driving is one of the most serious safety concerns on the road today. However, it is not the only thing that can distract drivers and affect their ability to drive safely. Other dangerous distractions include using navigation apps, eating, adjusting the controls in a vehicle, grooming, or anything else that takes a person's attention away from the road.
Speeding: When a driver exceeds the speed limit or travels too fast in certain traffic or weather conditions, they will be more likely to cause an accident due to an inability to stop in time.
Drunk Driving: Alcohol, illegal drugs, certain prescription medications, and other substances can cause impairments that may make it impossible for a person to maintain control of their vehicle. Intoxicated drivers can cause devastating accidents that result in severe injuries.
Aggressive Driving: Drivers may take unsafe actions like tailgating behind other vehicles, changing lanes without signaling, or running red lights. These behaviors can place everyone on the road in danger and lead to serious collisions.
Drowsy Driving: Some people may struggle to remain awake and alert while driving due to long workdays, sleep disorders, or the use of certain medications. Drivers who fall asleep can lose control and crash into other vehicles, or fatigue may cause a person to make dangerous mistakes that could lead to accidents.

Other Parties Who May Be Liable for a Crash

Although driver negligence is the most common cause of car accidents, other parties may also be responsible in some situations. A careful investigation may reveal that a crash was not caused by one driver alone.

A manufacturer may be liable if a defective auto part was responsible for causing an accident or a victim's injuries. Defective brakes, airbags, tires, steering systems, seat belts, or other parts of a vehicle may have been the cause of a crash. The manufacturer of a vehicle or its parts may be liable for their failure to protect people's safety.

A government body may also be responsible when unsafe road conditions contribute to a collision. Poorly maintained roads, broken traffic signals, missing signs, dangerous intersections, dangerous potholes, or other hazards may be addressed through claims against government organizations like a city or county.

Other liable parties may include the employers of negligent drivers, rideshare companies, commercial vehicle owners, repair shops, or contractors performing road work. Our attorney can help clients identify the parties who played a role in causing an accident and take steps to ensure that they will be held liable.

Compensation Available for a Severna Park Car Accident

The compensation a person may receive after being injured in a car accident may address both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages will include financial losses that can often be documented through bills, receipts, repair estimates, or other expenses. Non-economic damages include losses that may not have a specified financial value but may affect a person's physical condition, mental health, and overall well-being.

The losses suffered because of a car accident may include the costs related to emergency medical care, ambulance transportation, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications, medical equipment, and future treatment needs. An injury victim may also be compensated for lost income, reduced earning ability, and any other financial losses.

Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering, such as the physical pain experienced in the aftermath of an accident and ongoing discomfort during a person's recovery. It may also include emotional distress or other issues that could affect a person's enjoyment of their life.

Uninsured and Underinsured Driver Claims

In some cases, people injured in car accidents may discover that the driver who was at fault is uninsured. In other cases, a driver may have insurance, but they may not have enough coverage to pay for all of a victim's damages. In these situations, compensation may be available through other sources, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that is provided through a victim's insurance policy on their own vehicle.

Insurance companies may still dispute the severity of a person's injuries or the value of the claim. They may attempt to deny claims by stating that uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage does not apply in a certain situation. Our lawyer can review the coverage that is available to an injury victim and negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that they will provide the full coverage a person deserves.

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.
