Rear End Accidents

Aside from the medical malpractice claims my office also represents clients who have been involved in automobile accidents. The knee-jerk reaction for most people is to assume that if you run into the back of another vehicle you are negligent by definition. However the law in the state of Maryland has made clear that the mere happening of a rear end collision is not proof of negligence. The driver of the front vehicle must exercise ordinary care not to stop or slow up without giving the other driver adequate warning of his intention to do so. While it is true the driver of the rear vehicle must also exercise ordinary care to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front. If you been involved in an automobile accident please feel free to call me directly and I will investigate the case for you to determine not only the liability but also the damages and the insurance coverage.
