Call Police

Maryland Auto Accident Laws
Maryland is a contributory negligence state. This means:
- If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages
- If you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault
- Insurance companies often try to shift blame to reduce payouts
- Proper evidence and legal representation are critical to protect your claim
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They may:
- Pressure you to settle quickly before full injury costs are known
- Question the necessity of medical treatment
- Blame you for the accident to reduce liability
- Offer settlements far below what your case is worth
Important:
Never accept an insurance settlement without talking to an attorney first. You may be giving up compensation you're legally entitled to.
