Two-Vehicle Accidents in Maryland
Crashes involving two vehicles are among the most common types of roadway collisions in Maryland, particularly on high-speed routes like US-15. These accidents often occur due to:
- Failure to Yield – Many two-car crashes happen when drivers fail to yield at intersections or highway merge points.
- Speeding – High speeds reduce reaction time, increasing the severity of crashes.
- Driver Distraction – Texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting in-car systems can lead to collisions.
- Weather or Road Conditions – Wet roads, poor visibility, or sharp curves can contribute to accidents.
Victims of two-vehicle crashes may suffer injuries ranging from whiplash and fractures to internal injuries and head trauma. Those injured due to another driver’s negligence may be eligible to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a vehicle crash, speaking with professionals can help ensure that you receive the necessary support for your recovery.
