Car Accidents in Maryland
Highways like Route 50 near the Salisbury Bypass see heavy traffic daily, increasing the likelihood of serious collisions. Speeding, distracted driving, and driver inattention are among the most common causes of crashes on major roadways in Maryland.
Accidents on highways often result in severe injuries due to higher speeds and multiple vehicles being involved. Victims may suffer from broken bones, spinal injuries, whiplash, or traumatic brain injuries, requiring extensive medical treatment and recovery time.
Maryland operates under an at-fault insurance system, meaning the party responsible for the crash is liable for medical bills, vehicle repairs, and other damages. However, proving fault can be complicated, especially on busy highways where multiple factors contribute to an accident.
To help prevent collisions, drivers should:
- Maintain a safe following distance on high-speed roads
- Stay alert and avoid distractions such as texting or adjusting navigation
- Reduce speed when approaching interchanges and ramps
- Check blind spots before changing lanes
