Maryland is one of only four states in the country that follows the doctrine of pure contributory negligence. This means that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you could be completely barred from recovering any compensation.
This harsh legal standard makes Maryland one of the most challenging states for car accident claims — and one of the most important states to have an experienced attorney on your side.

Insurance companies in Maryland know the contributory negligence rule and use it aggressively. Their strategy is simple: find any reason to assign you partial fault, then deny your entire claim.
Common tactics include:
An experienced Maryland car accident attorney knows how to counter these tactics, protect your rights, and prevent insurance companies from using contributory negligence to deny your claim.
Maryland operates under a fault-based (or “tort”) insurance system. This means the driver who caused the accident is financially responsible for the damages. You have three options for seeking compensation:
1. File a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company (third-party claim)
2. File a claim with your own insurance company under your PIP or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
3. File a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland court
Each path has different timelines, requirements, and strategic considerations. Our team evaluates your specific situation and recommends the approach most likely to maximize your recovery.
The most common type of car accident in Maryland. While liability often seems straightforward, insurance companies still attempt to assign shared fault. We build airtight cases that eliminate contributory negligence defenses.
T-bone collisions and failure-to-yield accidents at Maryland intersections often involve disputed fault. We use traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction to establish liability.
High-speed collisions on I-95, I-695, I-83, I-70, and other Maryland highways often result in catastrophic injuries. These cases require rapid evidence preservation and thorough investigation.
Chain-reaction accidents complicate liability determinations. We identify every at-fault party and pursue all available insurance coverage to maximize your recovery.
If the at-fault driver fled the scene, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We handle the entire process, including working with law enforcement to identify the responsible driver.
DUI/DWI accidents may entitle you to punitive damages in addition to standard compensation. We pursue every available remedy when impaired drivers cause harm.
Texting, phone use, and other distractions cause thousands of Maryland accidents annually. We subpoena phone records and other evidence to prove distraction.
Maryland law allows car accident victims to seek compensation for:
In cases involving drunk driving, extreme recklessness, or intentional misconduct, Maryland courts may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior.
