In Maryland, you may be entitled to compensation after a car, truck, or motorcycle accident if another party’s negligence caused the crash. This can include situations involving careless driving, such as speeding, distraction, or failure to follow traffic laws.

Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule, meaning that if you are found even partially at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. Because of this, establishing fault is critical.

If you are eligible, compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, and the overall impact the injuries have had on your daily life.

Each case depends on its specific facts, so this is general information only, and a closer evaluation is often needed to determine whether compensation may be available.
