You Should Not Have to Pay for a Car Accident You Did Not Cause

Maryland is a fault-based state, meaning drivers must pay for accidents they cause. According to Maryland’s Motor Vehicle Administration, the state mandates that motorists insure all vehicles with the minimum coverage value of:

• $30,000 in bodily injury coverage per person
• $60,000 in bodily injury coverage per accident
• $15,000 for property damage

If your accident resulted from another driver’s negligent behavior or reckless actions, they should pay for your losses. So, if you or a loved one sustained injuries in an accident on Belair Road, Silver Springs Road, or elsewhere in Perry Hall, we could help you recover your damages. 

In general, personal injury victims can pursue compensation for:

• Medical treatment: Our personal injury attorneys can pursue your past and future medical bills, including the cost of emergency transportation and treatment, x-rays and other diagnostic tests, hospital stays, surgeries, prescription drugs, medical devices, physical therapy and rehabilitation, in-home health services, and long-term nursing care. 
• Lost income: We can pursue your lost wages, benefits, and other earnings. In addition, if you sustained an injury that forces you to change jobs, reduce your hours, or quit working, we can seek financial compensation for losing your earning potential. 
• Vehicle damages: We can help you get the money you need to fix your vehicle. If the damage is a total loss, we can seek a fair sum for its replacement value. 
• Pain and suffering: Severe injuries can leave victims with lasting physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. You deserve compensation for any reduction in your quality of life caused by your car accident, including anxiety, depression, loss of mobility or paralysis, chronic pain, mental anguish, loss of a limb or bodily function, scarring, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. 

Adam Fights for accident victims like you. You deserve legal representation that pursues the full value of your losses. 

Maryland Wrongful Death Compensation

According to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), there were 209 motor vehicle crash fatalities statewide in 2022. Baltimore County alone had 28 crash fatalities during the first five months of 2022. 

If your loved one died because of a fatal car accident injury, our lawyers could help you seek compensation for their wrongful death. Awards may include:

• Your loved one’s accident-related medical expenses
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of the deceased’s financial support
• Loss of marital care, filial care, or parental care
• Loss of the decedent’s advice, counsel, training, and guidance
• Loss of your loved one’s companionship, protection, and comfort
• Surviving family members’ pain and suffering

We understand what your family is facing right now with the loss of your loved one, and you deserve the time to grieve your loss in peace. Please allow us to take you and your family From Hurt to Help®. We will build your case and pursue a fair settlement that allows you and your family to recover what you have lost. The money can never replace them, but it can help you rebuild.

How Our Perry Hall Car Accident Lawyers Will Prove Fault

To win compensation, you must prove that another party’s negligent actions caused your collision. The liable party is likely another driver, but defective vehicles and vehicle parts can cause accidents, as can dangerous or negligent road conditions. Some common causes of car accidents include:

• Reckless driving, such as speeding, tailgating, illegal passing, and improper turns
• Drunk driving or impaired driving due to drugs or fatigue
• Distracted driving, such as texting and driving
• Hazardous or poorly designed intersections
• Poor road maintenance, such as negligent snow and ice removal, potholes and cracked roadways, and broken traffic signals
• Malfunctioning parts, including blown tires, defective brakes, and engine trouble

Our Perry Hall car accident lawyers have handled several cases and understand the common causes. In all, we seek to prove negligence. That means the following: 

• Duty of care: We establish that the other driver has a legal obligation to follow the traffic laws and drive safely. 
• Breach of duty: We investigate the accident to determine how the other driver, or other party, violated the duty of care.
• Causation: We then connect the breach to the accident and your injuries. 
• Damages: Our investigation must also present evidence of the injuries and losses you suffered so that we can demand compensation. 

We prove these four elements through the services we provide to our clients: 

• Investigate the accident scene: We have the resources to investigate your crash and determine if the liable party is a driver, manufacturer, or roadway owner. 
• Gather evidence of negligence and damages: Then, we’ll collect and review case evidence, including medical records, police reports, witness statements, and data from the scene of your crash. 
• Consult with experts on your case: If necessary, we work with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and other experts who can testify on your behalf, validating your claim and providing clarity to complex topics.
• Determine the value of your damages: We will also assess your case and determine a fair settlement value for all your economic and non-economic damages.
• File insurance claims and lawsuits: We will send our demands to the at-fault party’s insurance company with your personal injury claim. We will also file paperwork for a possible lawsuit if negotiations should fail.
• Represent your interests: We will negotiate with the insurance companies, but if they are unwilling to reach a settlement that reflects your losses, we will take our case to court.

We have experience with the following types of accidents:

• Head-on collisions
• Single-vehicle accidents
• Multi-vehicle accidents
• Trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles
• Sideswipe or “T-bone” collisions
• Rollovers
• Hit-and-runs
• Drunk drivers
• Rear-end collisions
• Motorcycles
• Bicycles and pedestrians
• Construction vehicles

With over 10 years of experience, Adam Smallow can manage your motor vehicle accident case while you recover from your injuries. 

There Is a Deadline for Your Car Accident Case

Do not wait too long to begin investigating and building your accident claim. According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, Maryland’s statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is three years. Meanwhile, Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904 allows a three-year time limit to file a wrongful death case.

If the statute of limitations expires on your case, the courts could bar you from pursuing compensation through a trial. As the right to sue is used as leverage during settlement negotiations, you could be forced to accept whatever low settlement the insurance companies offer—but you can fight back, and Adam Smallow can help.

Contacting us early will also give us the opportunity to investigate your accident while evidence is still available. We can speak with witnesses before their memories fade, send letters of spoliation to preserve surveillance videos, and collect physical evidence before it is lost.
