On the busy roads around College Park, including Route 1 and the Capital Beltway, auto accidents take place regularly. Our firm can help victims determine what steps to take following accidents such as:

• Car Accidents: Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes at intersections, and head-on accidents may be caused by distracted driving, speeding, or other violations committed by negligent drivers. Victims may suffer whiplash, broken bones, or more serious forms of trauma that may require extensive medical treatment.
• Commercial Truck Accidents: Semi-trailer trucks, 18-wheelers, and other large commercial vehicles can cause catastrophic damage in a collision. Accidents may involve factors such as driver fatigue, negligent maintenance, or improperly loaded cargo. Trucking companies, maintenance providers, or cargo loaders may share liability for the injuries that occur in collisions with commercial trucks.
• Pedestrian Accidents: People on foot may be hit by cars in crosswalks, parking lots, or while walking along the road. These collisions can lead to life-threatening injuries and permanent disabilities. Negligent drivers who endanger pedestrians may be held liable for the damages suffered by victims.
• Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists are vulnerable to serious injuries in collisions caused by drivers who fail to check blind spots, make unsafe turns, or open their car doors into bike lanes. Concussions, fractures, and internal injuries may occur in a collision between a car and a bicycle.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders are at risk of being seriously hurt in crashes caused by drivers who engage in dangerous behaviors such as lane violations, tailgating, aggressive driving, or failure to yield. Common injuries suffered by motorcyclists in collisions include spinal cord damage, road rash, and amputations.
• Delivery Driver Accidents: With so many vehicles on the road performing food and package deliveries, accidents involving commercial delivery drivers have increased. Employers may be held liable for accidents that occur because drivers were improperly trained, rushed, or operating under unsafe conditions.

Liability for Unsafe Properties and Defective Products

Residents of College Park may be hurt in incidents involving property hazards or unsafe consumer products. Our attorney can assist with personal injury cases involving:

• Premises Liability: When property owners fail to address hazards or warn visitors about known dangers, they may be held liable for injuries that take place on their premises. These cases may involve slip, trip, and fall accidents on wet or uneven surfaces; injuries caused by poorly maintained stairways, handrails, or lighting; dog bites and other animal attacks; or assaults that occur because of inadequate security at apartment complexes or parking garages.
• Product Liability: Manufacturers, distributors, or retailers may be held accountable for injuries caused by defective products, including design defects or manufacturing defects. Injury victims may also recover compensation for injuries that occurred because inadequate labeling or instructions did not alert them about the potential risks of using a product. Our lawyer can help address injuries involving defective auto parts, dangerous household appliances, contaminated food products, or unsafe children's toys.

Wrongful Death and Compensation for Surviving Family Members

• Loss of Financial Support: A family may receive compensation for the income the deceased person would have provided.
• Medical and Funeral Expenses: A claim may cover the costs incurred before the person's death or as a family laid their loved one to rest.
• Loss of Companionship and Guidance: Compensation may address the loss of relationship with a spouse, child, or parent.
• Mental Anguish: Family members may be compensated for the emotional suffering they have endured due to a loved one's death.
