Car Accidents in Maryland
Maryland highways, such as Route 50, experience a high volume of traffic, increasing the risk of serious crashes, particularly at major intersections like Route 610. Accidents at these locations often involve speeding, failure to yield, or distracted driving, leading to severe injuries for those involved.
Victims of car accidents may suffer from whiplash, broken bones, spinal injuries, or head trauma, requiring significant medical care and recovery time. Additionally, medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs can place a heavy financial burden on accident victims and their families.
Maryland operates under an at-fault insurance system, meaning the driver found responsible for a crash is legally liable for damages. However, proving fault in an intersection accident can be complex, often requiring witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction reports.
To reduce the risk of intersection accidents, drivers should:
- Obey traffic signals and right-of-way laws
- Slow down and approach intersections with caution
- Avoid distractions such as texting or adjusting GPS while driving
- Be mindful of cross-traffic and merging lanes
