Truck Accidents in Maryland
Crashes involving tractor-trailers can be especially dangerous due to the size and weight of these commercial vehicles. Major highways like Route 50 often see heavy truck traffic, increasing the risk of collisions with smaller vehicles.
Common causes of truck-related accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, blind spots, and mechanical failures. When passenger vehicles collide with large trucks, the force of impact often leads to serious or life-threatening injuries for those involved.
Under Maryland law, injured victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages if negligence played a role in the crash. However, truck accident cases can be complex, often involving multiple parties, including trucking companies and insurers. Seeking legal guidance can help victims navigate their options for financial recovery.
