Helping Victims Of All Types Of Motor Vehicle Accidents

In addition to car accident claims, our attorneys seek compensation for victims of:

• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• Train accidents (Amtrak, commuter trains, DC Metrorail)
• All-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents

We handle accidents that drunk drivers cause, hit-and-run accidents and accidents caused by uninsured or underinsured drivers. If you were involved in an on-the-job auto accident, we can file a workers’ compensation claim in addition to your injury claim. In such situations, it is critical to have both claims addressed together in order to prevent future conflicts with liens or credits.

We also handle all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those involving:

• Rear-end collisions: A rear-end collision can result in serious soft tissue damage and whiplash. After this type of accident, we can help you bring a claim against the negligent driver and seek compensation for your injuries.
• T-bone accidents: T-bone accidents can be among the most terrifying types of accidents, and they can result in serious injuries to the driver and passengers of both vehicles. Our attorneys will diligently gather evidence in order to prove the other driver was negligent, so you can secure the compensation you need for your injuries.
• Head-on collision: Even at low speeds, a head-on collision can total a vehicle and cause serious injuries for everyone involved. If you were involved in this type of accident, we can help you with every aspect of your claim, from the initial investigation to the trial.
• Hit-and-run accidents: After a negligent driver flees the scene, you may wonder how you will cover the costs of your injuries and damages. Luckily, there are options available to you. We can help you understand those options and pursue the compensation you need after a hit-and-run accident.
• Rollover accidents: A rollover accident puts an enormous strain on your joints, and it can lead to head trauma, shoulder injuries and other serious injuries. SUVs are the most common type of vehicle to rollover in an accident, but regardless of the type of vehicle you rolled in, our attorneys can provide you with skilled representation.
• Accidents in construction zones: With narrowed lanes, torn up roads and heavy equipment, construction zones are hazardous places to drive. Whether your accident was the result of another driver’s negligence or a negligent work crew leaving debris on the road, we may be able to help you.
• Unsafe/dangerous road accidents: Some roads are more hazardous than others. Roads with sharp turns, poor visibility or uneven surfaces can lead to serious – and even deadly – collisions.
• Distracted driving: Removing your eyes from the road to read a text message or change the radio station puts everyone at risk. We help clients who have been injured by drivers who were distracted by texting, using a cellphone or other forms of distraction.

What We Seek To Do For You

Winning a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent driver is not simply about getting compensation. Our Maryland car accident attorneys pride themselves on going above and beyond the expectations of our clients by offering everything they deserve.

We know that there is more at stake in these cases than just getting compensation for your medical costs. You have suffered damage to your vehicle and lost income due to your injuries, which you cannot fully recover from. We will answer your questions throughout the process and negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company to compensate you for as many of these factors as possible.

Cases like these can be complicated and take time, which can be very taxing on someone who also needs to recover from their injuries. We will manage the complicated legal process that lies ahead of you while you can focus on recovery with your loved ones. When you suffer a catastrophic injury, the last thing you need is more stress and anxiety. Let us handle your challenging case to fight for your fair recovery.

Baltimore Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer

It is a violation of Maryland law for the operator of a moving vehicle to send a text message or read an incoming one. Still, thousands of drivers are put at risk of serious injury every day when other people ignore the law and send or read text messages while they are driving. When these drivers cause accidents that lead to serious injuries, not only must they answer to the law, but they must also answer to their victims. At the law firm of Cohen, Snyder, Eisenberg & Katzenberg, P.A., we represent clients across the state in a broad range of these claims.

Research has shown that a person who sends a text message or reads an incoming message is more likely to cause an automobile accident than a person who is legally intoxicated. When the driver has to look away from the road for several seconds to type or read a text message, he or she is not able to hit the brakes in time if traffic stops suddenly. These collisions often happen at full speed and have the potential to result in life-threatening injuries.

Injured By A Drunk Driver?

Just as with distracted driving, no one expects another driver to make a decision so reckless that it would put their own lives in danger – including driving drunk. The sad reality of things is that there are people out there who choose to get dangerously drunk and then get behind the wheel. If a person like this has caused you or a loved one to suffer serious injuries, our Baltimore car accident lawyers and staff believe that you should not be the one left holding the bill for your injuries.

Weather-Related Car Accidents

Rain storms. Ice. Snow. When weather plays a role in car accidents, determining fault can be challenging. How can you recover compensation if your car accident was caused, in part, by inclement weather?

Proper investigation of car accident cases involving poor weather conditions is very important. In many cases, the real cause of the accident is not the weather at all but driver negligence. Questions we might ask during an investigation of your case include:

• Did the other driver drive too fast for the weather conditions or otherwise drive irresponsibly?
• Did any other factors play a role in the accident, such as drunk or distracted driving?

Once we determine the cause(s) of your accident, we can bring a claim to hold the right parties accountable for their actions and help you recover compensation for your past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of income, and other damages.

Answers To Your Car Accident Questions

After getting injured in a car accident, you probably have a lot of questions and not very many answers. The insurance companies representing the negligent parties might try to place the blame on your shoulders or, if they know their insured was at fault, offer you a lowball settlement that limits your rights and access to future compensation.

We understand how overwhelming it can be when an accident leads to serious injuries. To help address some initial questions you may have, we have compiled several common questions we receive below, as well as responses:

• I just had a car accident. What should I do?
• Is there anything I should avoid after a car accident?
• Who pays for my medical bills, lost wages and other losses?
• What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
• My injuries seem minor. Do I need to see a doctor?
• How much is my case worth?

Q: I just had a car accident. What should I do?

A: The first thing you should do is seek medical attention for any injuries you have suffered. There is nothing more important than your well-being. If possible, get the contact information of the other people involved in the accident and their auto insurance information. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene. If a police report was filed about your accident, get the report number so you or your attorney can get a copy of the report. Finally, contact a qualified personal injury lawyer.

Q: Is there anything I should avoid after a car accident?

A: Yes. Don’t talk to anyone from another driver’s insurance company before you talk to an attorney. If you are talking to someone else who was involved in the car accident, don’t say “I’m sorry” or anything else that could be interpreted to mean that you are accepting responsibility. Don’t leave the scene until a police officer tells you it is OK to do so.

Q: Who pays for my medical bills, lost wages and other losses?

A: Under Maryland law, the party who caused the accident is held responsible for all damages. Maryland drivers are also able to purchase personal injury protection (PIP) coverage that can cover their losses, regardless of fault. Cohen, Snyder, Eisenberg & Katzenberg, P.A., recommends purchasing full PIP coverage in Maryland.

Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

A: Under Maryland’s contributory negligence statute, if you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you lose your right to seek any level of compensation. This is a common defense in car accident cases. We analyze the facts of each case to determine whether you would likely prevail if the case goes to trial.

Q: My injuries seem minor. Do I need to see a doctor?

A: We highly recommend seeking medical attention as soon after an accident as possible. Not all injuries may be immediately apparent and can take hours or even days to surface. Seeking immediate medical attention is the best way to understand the true scope of any injuries you suffered, as well as ensure there is no delay in receiving the treatment you may need to recover. Additionally, insurance adjusters may attempt to leverage any delays in seeing a doctor to prove the injuries did not result from the accident.

Q: How much is my case worth?

A: The answer to this question depends on the specifics of your case. We offer free initial consultations at our Maryland offices, where we can discuss your case and provide a clearer picture of what to expect. In Maryland, the compensation you may be entitled to after a car accident is separated into two categories: economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages are more finite and include compensation for medical bills, property damage and lost wages. Noneconomic damages are often the bigger variable, including compensation for things like pain and suffering resulting from the accident. We can help you determine the full amount of damages you are entitled to and fight for what you deserve.
