Frequently Asked Questions About Pedestrian Accidents

What should I do immediately after being involved in a pedestrian accident in Maryland?

After a pedestrian accident, you should call 911 and seek help from law enforcement and medical professionals. It is important to talk to a police officer soon after the accident since a police report can be a key document in a pedestrian accident claim. You should also seek medical help. Even if you do not believe that you sustained any injuries, it can help to have a medical report of the accident because delayed or hidden injuries are common.

How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Maryland?

For a personal injury case such as a pedestrian accident, you have three years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, it is important to file a claim sooner rather than later. It may be harder to secure a fair settlement if you delay filing a pedestrian accident claim. You can reach out to Law Offices of Eugene I. Glazer immediately after your pedestrian accident to learn about your legal options.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the pedestrian accident in Maryland?

A successful pedestrian accident claim is obtained by proving that a liable party is at fault for causing your injuries. In Maryland, if you are found to be even slightly at fault for causing a pedestrian accident, such as jaywalking, then you may not be able to recover damages due to the state’s contributory negligence rules.

What types of compensation can I seek in a Maryland pedestrian accident case?

You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care, loss of life and loss of enjoyment of life. Our lawyers will do everything in our power to help you recover the maximum compensation.

Who is responsible for my medical bills after a pedestrian accident in Maryland?

You will likely be initially expected to pay your medical bills after a pedestrian accident. However, if a driver is considered at fault for a pedestrian accident, they may be responsible for paying damages to cover your medical bills.
