The I-95 corridor goes through Maryland, passing along Riverside. Passenger vehicles and trucks loaded with cargo travel this highway day and night. Due to the immense size difference between a commercial truck like an 18-wheeler and a passenger car, accidents involving these vehicles can cause serious damage.
If you have been in a truck accident, a Riverside, MD, I-95 truck accident lawyer with the Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow is ready to assist you in your pursuit of compensation by shouldering the technical burdens that come after this event. This way, you can focus on your recovery.
Compensation for Losses Suffered from a Riverside, MD, I-95 Truck Accident
How much compensation you receive after a truck accident will depend on a host of factors, such as the severity of your injury, the amount of property damage, and the extent of mental anguish you experience.
We can discuss the specifics of your case with you during your initial consultation. Generally, victims find compensation is available for the following, although keep in mind that this is not a complete list:
- Medical expenses, such as hospital stays, treatment, surgery, medication, and the myriad costs associated with your care both short-term and long-term
- Property damage, usually including damage to your vehicle and any personal belongings you had with you at the time of the crash
- Lost earnings, should you find yourself unable to work due to your injuries, as well as compensation for reduced earnings if your injuries require you to change professions to a lower-paying job, or for complete loss of earnings if you are unable to ever return to work
- Pain and suffering experienced during the accident and after the accident, which may last for weeks, months, or even years
You don’t have forever to seek compensation for these damages. Under Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, you generally have three years to file a personal injury case against the other party. Waiting too long may forfeit your right to compensation, so act now.

How Our Attorneys Help You After Your Truck Accident on I-95 in Riverside, MD
When an accident involves an 18-wheeler or another large commercial truck, it can be more complicated than when two passenger vehicles collide. It’s important to understand what may affect the outcome of a truck accident, such as:
- The state and federal regulations guiding the trucking industry
- The cargo of the truck involved in the accident, its weight, how it was loaded and secured, and who loaded it
- Identifying the owner of the truck—if the driver is the owner, if the driver leased the truck, or if it’s a company truck
- Identifying the appropriate insurance company for the truck and the owner of the truck and determining if the truck was appropriately insured for the cargo and the location of the accident
Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the specific components in play when it comes to a commercial truck accident.
When you come to us for help, we will:
Investigate the Crash
As part of our investigation, we can gather:
- Police and medical reports
- Information about weather and road conditions at the time of the crash
- Review the driver’s history behind the wheel and the truck’s mechanical upkeep
- Interview eyewitnesses and collect statements
- Collect supporting visual data
- Request black box data from the truck
- Review the company’s safety logs
- Reconstruct the incident
Identify Liable Parties
Through our investigation of the accident, we will help you identify the liable party. That person or those parties will be responsible for compensating you for your losses. Liable parties may include but are not limited to:
- The driver
- The truck owner
- The manufacturer of a truck part
- The cargo owners or loaders
- The local road maintenance agency or department
- The truck’s mechanic or maintenance company
Communicate With Others Involved in Your Case
As your legal representatives, we will communicate with all involved parties on your behalf. That way, you can worry less about daily details so that you can focus more on healing and hopefully getting back to your life as it was before the accident.
Negotiate for a Fair Settlement
After we have reviewed your case and quantified your damages, we can file your claim. At that time, we will negotiate with the insurance companies to reach a full and fair compensation settlement that meets your approval.
Represent You in a Trial, If Necessary
If the involved parties cannot reach a negotiated settlement, our attorneys will prepare for trial and represent you in court.
