Car Accidents in Maryland
Maryland highways, including Route 50 in Salisbury, experience a high volume of daily traffic, increasing the risk of serious crashes at busy intersections. Collisions at locations like Lake St are often caused by driver inattention, failure to yield, or speeding, leading to severe injuries for those involved.
Victims of intersection crashes may suffer from whiplash, broken bones, spinal injuries, or head trauma, requiring extensive medical care and recovery time. Additionally, medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs can create financial strain for accident victims and their families.
Maryland follows an at-fault insurance system, meaning the driver found responsible for an accident is legally liable for damages. However, determining fault in intersection accidents can be complex, often requiring witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction reports.
To reduce the risk of crashes, drivers should:
- Obey traffic signals and right-of-way laws
- Reduce speed when approaching intersections
- Stay alert and avoid distractions, such as texting or adjusting GPS
- Be aware of cross-traffic and merging lanes
