Why Should I Hire a Lawyer After My Collision in Towson?
You should consider partnering with our team after your collision because:
Insurers Aren’t Always on Your Side
An insurer’s job is to help you recover after your car accident, right? Not exactly. Insurance companies are business-minded. They want you to settle for the lowest possible amount.
A car accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow understands the ins and outs of the negotiation process. If the insurer offers you a poor settlement, we’ll know and fight for a better offer.
Your car accident lawyer will also protect you from these bad faith insurance practices:
- The insurer offers less than you’re owed.
- The claims adjuster demands that you give a recorded statement.
- The claims adjuster accuses you of causing the collision.
Some Car Accident Cases Involve Litigation
Chances are, you won’t have to file a lawsuit to seek compensation. Yet, you might consider litigation if:
- The liable insurer refuses to offer you a gooda fair settlement.
- The liable insurer doesn’t offer compensation at all.
- The at-fault driver didn’t have insurance coverage.
Pursuing a lawsuit requires an in-depth knowledge of Maryland’s car accident codes and regulations. It can also be incredibly time-consuming. If you spend all your time worrying about your lawsuit’s obligations, you’ll have less time to recover from your injuries.
Lawsuits are a useful leverage tool, too. Most parties involved in a car accident want to avoid a lawsuit. With a car accident lawyer serving Towson on at your side, you won’t come to the negotiations table empty-handed. You’ll have a trusted advocate in your corner.

To pursue the best possible outcome for your injury case, we will:
- Collect evidence
- File documentation
- Act as your representative
- Communicate with anyone involved in the case
- Provide you with legal advice
We will implement a legal strategy that meets your situation.

Factors That Can Support a Case for Damages
To build your case, our team will need to determine the circumstances that led to your collision. Depending on what caused your accident, several different parties may be at fault for your crash.
Expert testimony, your medical records, and traffic camera footage can provide insight into the moments leading up to, during, and after your accident. We may find that one or more of the following factors caused your accident:
Driver Negligence
Driver negligence comes in many forms. Common actions that could make a driver liable for collision-related damages include:
- Reckless and aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Driving without the necessary experience or licensing required to operate a motor vehicle
- Distracted driving
- Drowsy driving
Vehicle Issues
Vehicle malfunctions and breakdowns, tire blowouts, worn brakes, and loose cargo can lead to accidents. When this happens, a negligent mechanic, vehicle manufacturer, or trucking company may be to blame. We may be able to build a case against one or more of these entities.
A commercial trucking company may also be liable for your damages if factors like driver overwork, underserviced vehicles, or poor driver training caused or contributed to your collision.
Road or Environmental Issues
In some cases, a lack of road maintenance or preparation for environmental hazards can cause collisions. In these cases, our firm may be able to hold a negligent municipality or construction team responsible for:
- Poor lighting
- Road damage
- Unclear or missing traffic control devices or signs
- Dangerous curves
- Road debris

The Importance of Determining Fault in Your Case
Maryland is one of only four states in the country that uses a contributory negligence law. According to this law, if you are even one percent at fault for an accident, the law can bar you from receiving compensation.
This is why it is so vital that we investigate your accident to thoroughly prepare for any allegations that you may be at fault for what happened. An investigation can help us obtain the evidence necessary to prove the fault of other parties and quantify the damages you may be entitled to claim.
At the Law Offices of Adam M. Smallow, we can assist you throughout this process. A Towson car accident lawyer from our team will walk you through everything you need to know about the claims process, gathering evidence, and proving fault.
These Are The Damages You May Recover
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to secure compensation for the following losses and damages:
- Medical treatment expenses
- Property damage costs
- Lost income
- Lost earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral or burial expenses
You could recover other damages not listed here, as well. Our team knows how to identify the damages our clients have suffered and establish their worth in order to help them seek appropriate compensation.
The Severity of Your Injuries Could Determine Your Case’s Value
According to Mayo Clinic, motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries. Motor vehicle accidents can lead to other serious injuries as well, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Back, neck, and nerve injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Cuts and lacerations
- Facial injuries or disfigurement
- Eye, ear, and dental injuries
- Emotional trauma
The medical treatment expenses for these types of injuries can be substantial, as they may require surgery, physiotherapy, and diagnostic testing. The costs of assistive devices and medications can also seriously affect your financial stability. Moreover, a lack of independence after an accident due to disabling injuries can have serious effects on your mental health.
