FAQs About Car Accidents in Maryland
Q: How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Maryland?
A: The statute of limitations is typically 3 years, but sooner is always better.
Q: What if I was partially at fault?
A: Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If you’re found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovery — that’s why legal representation is crucial.

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims in Maryland, but they are not the only type of roadway incident victims face. Our Motorcycle Accidents page explains how riders are especially vulnerable to catastrophic injuries when collisions occur. Similarly, Truck Accidents often result in life-altering consequences because of the sheer size and force of commercial vehicles.
Pedestrians and bicyclists also face extreme risks. If you or a loved one were injured while walking or cycling, our firm provides guidance on Pedestrian Accidents and Bicycle Accidents claims. Public and private transportation cases, such as Bus Accidents and Rideshare Accidents, require an understanding of unique liability issues, while more complex cases like Train Accidents or Aviation Accidents demand detailed investigation and legal strategy.
Accidents are not limited to land or air. Our attorneys also represent victims of Boat Accidents, where negligence on the water can be just as devastating. For victims of reckless drivers who flee the scene, we provide aggressive representation in Hit-and-Run Accident cases. Each of these practice areas connects back to our mission: protecting the rights of accident victims and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.
If you’ve been in a car accident, you likely have pressing questions. Our blog addresses common concerns, such as understanding the minimum settlement for car accidents or knowing what to do if you experience chest pain after a crash. Some injuries, like those covered in our article on the worst car crash injuries or nerve damage, can affect your long-term health and should never be ignored.
We also provide insights into the legal side of recovery. Victims often want to understand how car accident settlements work, who covers pain and suffering damages, and how to calculate compensation using tools like a progressive pain and suffering calculator.
Our blog also focuses on practical steps after a collision. Learn how to find your car accident report quickly, whether you should go to the hospital, and what to do in situations like rear-end collisions or intersection crashes.
Finally, for those dealing with the aftermath, we explain how to get a rental car after an accident and the mistakes to avoid, as outlined in our post on hidden injuries and costly rental car errors. For anyone seeking legal support, our resource on choosing the right car crash lawyer can make a critical difference in your claim.
