Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Maryland
Multi-car crashes can be particularly dangerous, as they increase the likelihood of serious injuries, especially when children are involved. In 2023, Maryland reported over 115,000 crashes, with nearly 35,000 resulting in injuries.
Urban areas like Baltimore often see a high volume of multi-vehicle crashes due to:
- Heavy traffic congestion at major intersections
- Distracted driving, such as phone use behind the wheel
- Failure to yield or running red lights
- Sudden stops and chain-reaction collisions
Authorities remind drivers to remain alert and cautious in high-traffic zones to prevent serious crashes. Ensuring that children are properly restrained in age-appropriate car seats or seat belts is also a crucial step in reducing the risk of injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, seeking medical attention and understanding your legal rights is essential.
