Entrapment Crashes in Maryland
When individuals are trapped in vehicles, rescue operations become more complicated, requiring specialized equipment to free them. Common causes of entrapment crashes include:
- High-Impact Collisions – Accidents at high speeds can cause extensive damage to vehicles, trapping occupants.
- Rollovers – Vehicles flipping onto their sides or roofs can result in occupants becoming pinned inside.
- T-Bone Collisions – Side-impact crashes at intersections often lead to crushed doors and structural collapse.
Victims of entrapment crashes may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost income if another driver’s negligence was involved.
