Are You Suffering Injuries Due To A Car Accident In Maryland?

Maryland follows the rule of “contributory negligence.” Under this rule, if a person is even partially responsible for their injuries, they will not be able to recover damages from another person. This is true even if that other individual was more at fault.

Some people feel that Maryland’s system is unfair to those who suffer injuries in crashes and can prevent them from getting a fair settlement. However, with our team and attorney Matthew P. Darby’s legal help, it is still possible to recover damages if you were not at all negligent.

What Can An Injured Party Recover In A Case Against An At-Fault Driver?

The most common causes of motor vehicle accidents are distracted driving, drunk/impaired driving, speeding and aggressive/reckless driving. If you are injured in a crash caused by another driver’s negligence due to these behaviors, you may recover damages in a settlement. Damages refer to compensation for injuries and losses from the at-fault party’s careless actions.

The main types of damages you may be able to recover include, but are not limited to:

  • Economic damages are calculable costs like vehicle repairs, medical bills, lost wages and future expenses. These are quantifiable based on receipts/bills.
  • Noneconomic damages cover nonmonetary losses like pain/suffering, emotional distress and spousal loss of consortium. These are subjective but often exceed economic damages.

There is a limit on what you can recover in Maryland, but that limit changes every year so it’s important to speak with a Maryland personal injury lawyer.
