Highway Accidents in Maryland
Highway accidents, such as the recent crash on I-95 Northbound at MD-152, are a frequent occurrence on Maryland’s busy roadways. Interstates and express toll lanes, while designed to facilitate faster travel, can also pose unique risks due to high speeds, lane changes, and sudden traffic slowdowns.
According to the Maryland Department of Transportation, I-95 is one of the state’s most heavily trafficked highways, with thousands of vehicles traveling its lanes daily. In 2023, Maryland reported over 115,000 motor vehicle accidents, many of which occurred on highways and involved injuries. Common causes of highway crashes include speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, and adverse weather conditions.
Injuries from highway accidents can range from minor scrapes and bruises to more severe conditions, such as concussions, fractures, and spinal injuries. Even when injuries seem minor initially, accident victims must seek medical evaluation promptly, as some conditions may develop over time and lead to long-term complications.
In addition to the physical impact, highway accident victims often face challenges related to insurance claims, vehicle repairs, and potential legal actions. Navigating these processes can be complex, especially when dealing with injuries or multiple parties involved. Understanding your rights and accessing appropriate legal guidance can be critical in ensuring you receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the crash.
