Two-Vehicle Accidents in Maryland
Two-vehicle crashes occur frequently in Baltimore’s urban neighborhoods, especially on Gwynns Falls Pkwy, where congestion and heavy commuter traffic increase the risk of accidents. Common causes of these crashes include:
- Failure to Yield at Intersections – Many accidents occur when drivers ignore right-of-way rules.
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or talking to passengers can lead to collisions.
- Speeding – Excess speed reduces reaction time and increases impact force.
- Adverse Weather or Road Conditions – Poor visibility, slick roads, or construction zones can contribute to accidents.
Even moderate-speed crashes can result in whiplash, concussions, fractures, and internal injuries, requiring extended medical care and recovery. Those injured in accidents caused by another driver’s negligence may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, seeking legal guidance can be crucial in navigating your recovery and understanding your rights.
