Act Promptly to Meet Personal Injury Case Filing Deadlines in Maryland

If settlement negotiations in your truck accident case are prolonged or a settlement is not forthcoming, our lawyer can take additional legal action on your behalf. However, there is limited time to take action for your case, so we advise starting promptly after your crash.

In Maryland:

• Personal injury lawsuits: The personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the truck accident, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101 
• Wrongful death lawsuits: The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally three years from the truck accident-related loss of a family member, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904 

If your case is not filed with the Baltimore County courts before the statute of limitations expires, you might be unable to file it at all. Even if you do manage to file your case late, the at-fault party’s representative can request—and is likely to be granted—its immediate dismissal.

With sufficient notice from you, we will ensure timely filing and protect your case from these negative consequences. Call us today for your free case consultation.

Our Towson Truck Accident Lawyers Will Determine Liability

A primary reason truck accident cases are complicated is that they can have more than one at-fault party, which can make accurately assigning and apportioning liability complicated. When our law firm handles your case, we start by identifying all potentially liable parties that may be responsible for compensating you.

These parties can include the following:

The Truck Driver

The driver could be liable for your damages if their actions contributed to the accident. Driver negligence can include distractions, intoxication, and other traffic violations. The driver could also be liable if they are the owner/operator of the truck. 

The Trucking Company

Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, the truck driver’s employer could ultimately bear liability for an employee’s negligence on the roads. Under this doctrine, the employer is vicariously liable for the actions of their employees while they are on the job. 

The trucking company could also be liable if: 

• They hired an untrained or unlicensed driver
• They failed to train or supervise their employees
• They encouraged their driver to falsify or exceed hours-of-service regulations

The company could also be liable if they failed to properly maintain their vehicles. 

The Truck or Parts Manufacturer

If your accident was caused by a manufacturing or design flaw or defect, the company that manufactured your truck could be liable for your injuries. If faulty or defective tires, brakes, windshield wipers, or other components caused the accident, the maker can be held liable.

The Cargo Loaders

Additionally, if there was a separate party who loaded the truck, the cargo loading company could be held liable if they failed to follow industry standards or used faulty equipment. 

Truck Accidents We Have Managed for Our Clients

We have seen many families hurt by negligent trucking. Some of the most common types of truck accidents include: 

• Jackknife: The trailer swings out, forming an acute angle with the tractor when the driver suddenly brakes, failing to decelerate properly
• Rear-end: The truck driver fails to adjust to traffic and hits the rear of the car in front of them
• Underride: When the car behind the truck collides and slides under the rear of the truck
• Head-on: The truck driver goes over the median and hits an oncoming car
• Rollovers: The truck topples over onto its side when the truck driver fails to adjust to conditions, such as when making turns
• Sideswipes: The truck driver changes lanes and strikes a car already in the lane next to them

Often, these accidents can be attributed to the following negligent behaviors: 

• Distraction
• Drinking or drug use
• Failure to properly check blind spots
• Malfunctions
• Fatigue

We will investigate your accident and determine who was at fault, how, and what you have lost.
