Car Accidents in Maryland
Car accidents, like the one at North St and E Main St, are a common occurrence in Maryland, especially at busy intersections. Elkton, a high-traffic area, frequently sees crashes caused by distracted driving, failure to yield, and traffic congestion.
Injury crashes can result in serious consequences, including broken bones, whiplash, head trauma, and internal injuries. Even at low speeds, collisions can leave victims facing costly medical treatments, rehabilitation, and lost wages.
Maryland follows an at-fault insurance system, meaning the driver found responsible for an accident is liable for damages. However, proving fault in intersection crashes can be complex, especially if both drivers claim they have the right of way. Victims may need legal support to ensure they receive fair compensation.
To reduce the risk of accidents, all drivers should:
- Stay alert and avoid distractions while approaching intersections
- Obey traffic signals and right-of-way laws
- Drive cautiously in high-traffic areas
- Yield appropriately when turning or merging
