What Is Negligence In An Auto Accident Claim?
While you may be a safe driver, you can still be hurt in a car accident because of a negligent driver. Negligence is when someone else’s actions or incompetence cause you harm. For instance, if a driver is speeding and loses control of their vehicle, they can badly injure you in a collision.
Many different forms of negligence can lead to car accidents in Baltimore. Our streets can be narrow, and bad weather is not unexpected. Plus, let’s face it: sometimes, we are not the most patient of drivers in Baltimore.
No matter what caused your accident, it’s important to determine the cause so your legal counsel can secure compensation.
According to Zero Deaths Maryland, there were 28,565 car accidents that resulted in injury in 2023. Over 575 of those car accidents were fatal crashes. Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
- Drunk driving accidents
- Hit and run accidents
- Speeding
- Aggressive driving
- Distracted driving (accounting for around half of all accidents)
Damages a Baltimore Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You Recover
Car crashes can affect your life in several ways. For instance, a crash can result in your only form of transportation being out of commission. You could also experience serious injuries that require expensive medical treatment. Maybe your injury is so serious that you aren’t able to work now or in the future.
If someone else caused your accident, you can recover them through a car accident claim. Our Baltimore car accident attorneys can evaluate your claim to see what types of damages you are owed. Sometimes, more than one responsible party could be liable (financially responsible) for your losses.
Here are some of the losses we often recover in car accident cases:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income
- Loss of ability to earn an income
- Permanent physical impairment
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Mental distress and cost of mental health treatment
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment in life

Whose Insurance Company Pays for My Car Crash Damages?
Maryland is a fault state for personal injury cases, meaning whoever is at fault for a car accident pays for the victim’s losses. However, Maryland also follows a law known as contributory negligence. This means that you cannot share any fault for your accident, or the at-fault party cannot legally be compelled to pay for your losses. This is why it is so important to enlist the help of an attorney.
Our lawyers will seek compensation through the at-fault party’s insurer when we prove they were to blame for the accident. In the event of multiple at-fault parties, we will seek damages from all of them. It can be difficult to determine who may have contributed to your accident while you’re still recovering from the trauma. Leave the investigation to us.
Dealing With the Insurance Company
Filing a personal injury claim with an insurance company includes several steps.
- First, your lawyer will gather evidence to determine who is at fault for your accident.
- Second, we will use the evidence at our disposal to compel the insurer to pay for your losses.
- Third, we will negotiate a settlement that compensates you for your injuries and other losses.
Some insurers refuse to negotiate in good faith, and can be challenging to work with. Our car accident attorney will protect your rights and best interests in negotiations. If it comes to a lawsuit, we will make sure you are prepared for the proceedings.
If we determine that the best option is to file a lawsuit, we may do that before filing a claim.
Breaking Traffic Laws Is Negligent Behavior
Traffic laws are in place for the safety of all road users. Drivers who break these laws are the most common causes of collisions. If the at-fault party in your accident broke the law, they should be compelled to pay for your losses. Your lawyer can find and use evidence of their traffic violation to fight for your compensation.
