Navigating the legal landscape after a motor vehicle accident can be frustrating.

Whether you experience a car collision, truck incident or any other vehicular mishap in Maryland or Washington, DC, my role is to advocate for you, focusing on the injuries you sustain rather than just the damage to your vehicle.

Common Types Of Motor Vehicle Accidents
As your advocate, I handle a wide range of motor vehicle accidents throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C. These include:
- Speeding accidents: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases impact force, often resulting in more severe injuries and property damage.
- Reckless driving incidents: Aggressive maneuvers, improper lane changes and dangerous driving behaviors frequently lead to serious accidents with complex liability issues.
- Running stop signs and red lights: These violations can cause devastating T-bone collisions at intersections, where vehicles are particularly vulnerable to side impact.
- Illegal turns at intersections: Improper turns against traffic signals or without proper signaling create dangerous situations for other motorists.
- Drunk driving crashes: Alcohol-impaired drivers cause preventable accidents with potentially devastating consequences for innocent victims.
- Distracted driving accidents: Using phones, adjusting controls, or other distractions dramatically increase crash risk and constitute negligent behavior.
- Head-on collisions: Among the most dangerous accident types, these high-impact crashes often result in severe or fatal injuries.
- Rear-end collisions: Though common, these accidents can cause significant neck, back and brain injuries that may have lasting effects.
- Side-swipes: Often occurring during lane changes, these accidents can push vehicles into other lanes or off the road entirely.
- T-bone collisions: When vehicles impact at perpendicular angles, occupants have minimal protection, leading to serious injuries.
- Multivehicle pile-ups: These complex chain-reaction accidents involve multiple parties and insurance companies, requiring a thorough investigation.
No matter what type of accident you’ve experienced, I provide personalized representation focused on your specific circumstances and injuries.

Understanding The Statute Of Limitations
Maryland law sets a three-year limit for filing a personal injury claim from motor vehicle accidents. If you find yourself injured in an accident involving a car, truck or any other vehicle, it’s important to remember that you have a limited window from the date of the mishap to submit your claim. Whether you believe the injury is minor or discover the injury has lasting effects, you are still within your rights to file a claim. Even if you delayed filing because of financial worries, so long as it is within three years from the accident date, I can work with you to help you through the process and ensure you recover compensation.
