Car Accidents in Maryland
Maryland highways, including Route 13, are frequently the site of serious accidents, particularly at intersections like Dividing Creek Rd. These crashes often result from driver inattention, speeding, or failure to obey traffic signals, leading to severe injuries for those involved.
Victims of car accidents may suffer from whiplash, fractures, spinal injuries, or head trauma, requiring extensive medical care and recovery time. Additionally, medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs can place a significant financial burden on victims and their families.
Maryland follows an at-fault insurance system, meaning the driver found responsible for an accident is liable for damages. However, proving fault can be complex, requiring witness testimony, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction reports.
To reduce the risk of crashes, drivers should:
- Obey posted speed limits and traffic signals
- Avoid distractions such as texting or using GPS while driving
- Slow down at intersections and check for oncoming traffic
- Maintain a safe following distance in high-traffic areas
