Our Team Can Help You Identify the Liable Party or Parties in Your Case
Because truck drivers can act as either contractors or employees, our legal team may investigate your truck accident case to identify whether other parties may be held liable. Should the truck driver be an employee of a trucking company, that company may be held vicariously liable for damages the driver caused.
However, depending on what caused the accident, other parties may also be held liable for your damages, such as:
- The truck’s manufacturer or a parts manufacturer
- The truck’s maintenance company
- The truck’s loading company, if separate from the trucking company
- A local municipality in charge of the road conditions or projects on the road
- A third party, such as another driver or a construction company
Our team can inform you of whether you may be able to take action against multiple parties, then guide you accordingly.
We Can Collect Evidence for You
During our investigation, we can file requests to retrieve information on your behalf. Should you have evidence already with you, we will collect this information. If not, we are prepared to gather evidence to support your claims.
Evidence may include:
- The official crash report
- Video footage, such as from traffic cameras, surveillance cameras, or dashboard cameras
- Photographs and videos of the accident scene
- Eyewitness testimony
- Expert testimony, such as from medical professionals or accident reconstruction analysts
- Data records, such as black box information, cellphone records, and medical records

Maryland’s Statute of Limitations Dictates How Long You Have to File Your Case
Per Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, which is Maryland’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, you generally have three years from the date of the truck accident to file your lawsuit.
Should you fail to meet this deadline, you may jeopardize your ability to pursue compensation. A judge may dismiss your case upon reviewing it, especially if the opposing party submits a request for its dismissal. Our team can keep track of your case’s filing deadline so that it remains on time.
Wrongful Death Cases
Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904 sets a different statutory deadline for wrongful death cases. Surviving family members have three years from the date of their loved one’s death to file their case. We can help you and your family prepare materials to file your case within this timeframe.
