Determining Liability in Maryland Collision Claims
Establishing who is legally responsible is a cornerstone of any Maryland personal injury claim after a car collision. Frequently, disagreements arise concerning crucial details: Who disregarded a traffic signal? Was an unsafe lane change the cause?
To pinpoint fault and construct a compelling case, Burnett Injury Group undertakes meticulous and in-depth investigations. Our legal team diligently gathers and analyzes evidence to clearly establish the at-fault party.
Maryland's Contributory Negligence Law
Maryland's legal framework includes a stringent contributory negligence rule, which can be a significant hurdle for a successful claim. If you are found even slightly to blame for the collision (for example, 1% at fault), your ability to recover any damages may be entirely negated.
This standard underscores the importance of partnering with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Such representation is essential to safeguarding your interests and championing your pursuit of the compensation you rightfully deserve.
