Information About Motorcycle Accidents in Baltimore

Any driver could get involved in a collision in Baltimore. Around the state, there were 74 motorcycle accident fatalities in 2022, according to Zero Deaths Maryland.

You could get hurt in a:

• Head-on collision
• Read-end collision
• Side-impact collision

We understand the challenges motorcyclists face after a single-vehicle or multiple-vehicle accident in the Baltimore area.

Consider Maryland’s Laws About Motorcycle Helmets

Maryland requires motorcyclists to wear a helmet before legally operating their vehicles. The state made this decision due to the dangers associated with riding without a helmet.

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), helmets have saved more than 25,000 lives since 2002. Helmets are so important because motorcyclists do not have the same protection as drivers in cars or trucks.

However, you may still be able to seek compensation for your injuries if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your collision. Our team can discuss your options in this situation and keep you up to date regarding Maryland’s motorcycle laws.

Recovering Maximum Compensation Possible After a Motorcycle Accident in Baltimore

Recovering from injuries after a motorcycle accident at a hospital like Johns Hopkins Hospital, University of Maryland Hospital, or another facility within the city is not uncommon. You may be receiving medical care for such common injuries as: 

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Road rash
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Dislocations
• Soft tissue injuries

However, such medical attention does mean that victims of motorcycle accidents frequently face high medical bills. Even after release from the hospital, recovery may not be fully complete, often requiring extended rest and follow-ups with a physician.

During this time, you may be completely unable to earn income to support your family, let alone pay your growing medical costs. When the victim of the collision was your loved one, you could inherit their medical debt, along with other expenses.

Fortunately, a personal injury attorney from our law firm could help you recover all of this in your Baltimore motorcycle accident case. You may also be eligible for non-financial damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Follow Your Doctor’s Orders After Your Baltimore Motorcycle Accident

On the topic of medical care, it is very important that you see a doctor as soon as possible after the crash. For one thing, you don’t want to make an assumption about your health. You may think you feel fine, but you could be suffering from internal injuries that won’t be immediately apparent to you. Your doctor can perform tests and scans to check. Second, you need to follow all your doctor’s instructions and don’t miss any appointments. 

Doing this not only protects your health but it also protects your claim. If you wait for treatment, if you miss appointments, if you deviate from your doctor’s orders, that opens an opportunity up to the insurance companies to deny your claim. 

Liability for Motorcycle Accidents in Baltimore

It is very important to establish fault in your motorcycle accident claim. Riders may not receive coverage for their losses unless they and their Baltimore motorcycle accident attorney show how the at-fault driver caused the collision.

We look into the evidence surrounding your accident, like witness statements and the police report, when building your claim. We may take steps to show that another driver:

• Turned into you without looking
• Moved into your lane without checking their blind spots
• Failed to stop before striking you

Many car drivers claim that they did not see a motorcyclist after a collision. They may also cause an accident if they are distracted, fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Statutory Filing Deadlines for Your Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit

Every state enforces a statute of limitations, which outlines how long victims have to file a personal injury lawsuit. The exact statute that applies can depend on factors such as:

• The circumstances that led to the injuries (e.g., a motorcycle accident)
• The identity of the at-fault party
• Whether the incident resulted in death

For instance, a motorcycle collision that caused nonfatal injuries in Baltimore is subject to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, which outlines a three-year filing window.

If your loved one passed due to the accident, you still have three years to file, but the corresponding statute is Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904. Either way, you must file on time or you can lose your right to fair compensation.

Our team will construct a robust case on your behalf, but you must contact us as soon as possible. Not only can we protect your right to sue, but if we get started soon enough, we can collect evidence before it is lost or destroyed in your case. You should not have to worry about building a case. Your only concern is following your doctor’s orders. 

Your Compensation for Motorcycle Accidents in Baltimore

Our team can assist you as you take steps to secure damages to cover all of your losses following a collision on your motorcycle. Depending upon your situation, you may receive funds for your:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Wages lost during your recovery
• Diminished earning capacity
• Property damage, such as your ride and protective gear
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and mental anguish

We understand the steps to build a claim to submit to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. In many situations, you may be able to settle the claim, allowing you to avoid court fees and secure your compensation more quickly.

However, insurance companies sometimes treat motorcyclists unfairly and offer lowball settlements that barely cover their needs. You don’t have to accept such offers. You can fight back. In such situations, our motorcycle accident lawyer may advise you to file a lawsuit against the driver who struck you and caused your injuries.

Allow us to provide you with professional advice about the best way to handle your situation today.
