What Should You Do After a Truck Crash on I-95 in Maryland?

If you are involved in an accident on I-95 in Maryland, you should follow these steps to stay safe and move forward with your personal injury case as quickly as possible:

• Get you, your passengers, and (if possible) your vehicle to safety: If you cannot move your vehicle, try to get to the side of the road away from further harm. Assess your condition and check on others if you can. If someone cannot move on their own, do not try to move them yourself. Let the emergency medical teams handle them. 
• Take pictures of the accident: Get as many angles of the vehicles involved as possible. Take photos of any injuries, road and weather conditions, and anything that you feel contributed to the accident. 
• Note the location of the accident: In addition to the date and time of the accident, you should reference landmarks, rest stops, and the nearest mile marker on the highway. Be sure to record the road you were traveling, which direction you were traveling in, and where your car finally came to rest after the collision.
• Speak to any witnesses and ask for their contact information. Their statements may be important later. Witnesses can provide additional information from another perspective. Their statements can corroborate what you report and possibly add information on the accident that you were unaware of. 
• If possible, get the contact information (including insurance) of the truck driver: Emotions are understandably high after any accident, but remain as calm as possible. Don’t make accusations. Be polite and keep your exchange as minimal as possible.
• Call the police: For one thing, you are required by law to report your accident. For another, having a record of the accident from law enforcement is critically important. A police report will collect contact and insurance information from all parties involved in the accident, a diagram of the accident, and the officer’s assessment of who was at fault. It may also include any citations given.
• Plan to visit a hospital as soon as possible. Even if no one seems to be hurt, remember that due to shock and other factors, injuries may not manifest until days after the accident. Seeing a doctor as soon as possible after the truck collision helps to tie your injuries to the accident. It also starts a medical record of the injuries and treatment you require to recover from your injuries.
• Contact an attorney: There is no law that says you must use an attorney to file your insurance claim. However, a personal injury attorney has the knowledge and experience with the claims process to protect your rights to fair compensation. 

These steps will help your case in the event of a truck accident lawsuit. Even filing an insurance claim will require as much information about the accident as possible. 

Our Maryland I-95 truck accident lawyers can investigate your accident, gather evidence and information regarding your case, and pursue your compensation. Adam Fights for you while you recover from your injuries. Call Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers today and receive a free consultation during your call. 

Some Causes of Trucking Accidents on I-95 in Maryland

There are many reasons why a commercial truck driver or trucking company may be negligent. In fact, responsibility for the accident may fall to both parties.

A trucker driving on I-95 in Maryland might be at fault by:

• Driving recklessly
• Not maintaining the truck
• Not getting enough sleep
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

One potential challenge with suing the truck driver is money. The driver may not have enough insurance to cover your expenses and compensation. Some truck drivers even travel without any insurance.

Trucking Company Negligence

Since the truck driver is often an employee of the trucking company, you may be able to sue the company. They are ultimately responsible for the actions of their employees. The truck company is often sued for any actions their employees take while working for the company. In some instances, the truck companies themselves may be the cause of your accident. Some of the actions a truck company may commit that would make them liable could include:

• Overloading the trucks to deliver more goods in one trip. The overloaded trucks are harder to control, making an accident more likely.
• Requiring their drivers to drive more hours than allowed by the law. By violating the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) hours of service regulations, sleep-deprived drivers are more prone to make mistakes while operating their rigs. They also suffer from reduced reaction time.
• Neglecting federal safety requirements. Some truck drivers are traveling with vehicles that have not been properly maintained by FMCSA regulations.

The parties who could be liable in your truck accident could extend to cargo loaders, maintenance crews, or even the state if they fail to maintain I-95. 

Seeking Fair Compensation for Injuries From Truck Accidents on I-95 in Maryland

The potential injuries from a commercial truck accident on I-95 are horrific. Vehicle speeds regularly exceed posted speed limits, and accidents with these large and heavy vehicles could result in such catastrophic injuries as: 

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Crushed and broken bones
• Burn injuries
• Amputations, disabilities, and disfigurement 

If you were in a truck accident and suffered from such injuries, you may face serious medical expenses. Additionally, the stress from being out of work, along with pain and suffering, make such an experience a harrowing ordeal. A settlement for the physical and mental anguish you suffer may be the largest part of any claim you pursue.

You may find it necessary to file a personal injury claim. The reasoning for a claim against a truck driver and/or the trucking company can be simple. Through no fault of your own, you suffered a debilitating accident leading to an array of damages you deserve compensation for.

Some of the economic and non-economic damages you can commonly claim in a truck accident include:

• Medical bills for emergency services, surgeries, doctor’s visits, medications, and transportation, including in-home modifications and medical devices
• Therapy for emotional and mental health issues arising from the truck accident, 
• Physical rehabilitation during your recovery 
• Pain and suffering you experienced from the accident and during your recovery
• Lost wages from missing work while you recovered at home and diminished future earnings if you cannot return to your job
• Compensation for any permanent injury or disability you now have
• Repair or replacement of property damage

You may qualify for more damages. Our Maryland I-95 truck accident attorneys can examine your case and compile all the types of damages you may demand in your claim. Depending on the circumstances in your case, you may be eligible to pursue compensation for loss of consortium for the relationships that the accident has affected and loss of enjoyment in life if you can no longer participate in your favorite activities. 

Wrongful Death Damages

If a loved one died in a truck accident, we are very sorry to hear about your loss. We understand what you are going through right now and want to help your family. 

In wrongful death cases, you may have the right to seek additional compensation. These additional damages would compensate you for funeral expenses, burial costs, pain and suffering, loss of their companionship and guidance, as well as other losses. 

We will manage your wrongful death claim or lawsuit while you and your family grieve in peace.
