Landover, Maryland Personal Injury Attorney

During their daily lives, people may be injured in a variety of situations. A person may be driving on a local road or a major highway when they are struck by another vehicle. Someone may be shopping at a grocery store when they slip on a wet floor and suffer serious injuries in a fall.

Motor Vehicle Accidents Caused by Driver Negligence

Multiple types of serious injuries can occur when vehicles collide. In many cases, car accidents are caused by drivers who act negligently. These drivers may be held liable for the injuries that victims have suffered due to their failure to take the proper steps to protect the safety ot others. Our lawyer can help injury victims determine how to obtain compensation for car accidents involving issues such as:

• Distracted Driving: When drivers engage in activities such as texting, using a phone or GPS device to look up directions, eating and drinking, reaching for objects on their vehicle's floor or back seat, attending to children, or anything else that takes their attention away from the road, they can cause collisions that can seriously injure other people.
• Speeding: Many people violate speed limits or drive at unsafe speeds. When a person fails to obey the speed limit, there may be no way for them to respond in time when traffic slows down suddenly or they encounter a pedestrian in the road. They may be unable to stop in time to avoid a collision, or they may lose control when trying to swerve, causing them to crash into another vehicle.
• Reckless Driving: Drivers may act aggressively and put others at risk. They may follow closely behind other vehicles that they believe are going too slow, which can lead to rear-end accidents. They may pass other vehicles illegally, which could lead to head-on collisions or other types of accidents. Aggressive behaviors can increase the chances of car accidents that may lead to serious injuries.
• Fatigued Driving: When a driver is tired or exhausted, they will be more likely to make dangerous mistakes. They may not be able to fully pay attention to the road, and they may lose control of their vehicle at a crucial time. Drowsiness may also cause a driver to fall asleep, preventing them from taking any actions that could prevent a collision.
• Driving Under the Influence: When people use alcohol or drugs before getting behind the wheel, they will experience serious impairments that will increase the likelihood of car accidents. Vision problems, poor coordination, delayed reaction times, and other physical and mental issues can cause a person to lose control, crash into a vehicle or pedestrian, and cause serious injuries.

In addition to car accidents, other types of collisions can cause people to suffer serious harm. Truck accidents can occur because of the negligence of truck drivers, trucking companies, cargo loaders, or maintenance workers. Negligent drivers may inflict serious injuries in motorcycle accidents or pedestrian accidents. Our attorney has the experience needed to ensure that victims will be compensated for the injuries suffered in these or other types of collisions.

Premises Liability and Property Owner Negligence

People will often visit property owned by other parties, whether they are shopping in stores, eating in restaurants, or visiting the homes of friends and family members. When injuries occur in these locations, visitors will need to determine who may be held responsible. A premises liability claim can address the harm that a person has suffered because of the negligence of a property owner or another party who occupied a property.

Our lawyer can help injury victims determine how to address slip, trip, and fall accidents. These accidents will often be caused by hazardous conditions such as wet or slippery floors, dangerous stairwells, inadequate lighting, damaged sidewalks or parking lots, or tripping hazards in walkways. Premises liability cases may also address dog bites that occurred because a property owner or the owner of a dog did not take the proper steps to prevent an animal from attacking and injuring someone.

Other Types of Personal Injury Claims

Our attorney can address a variety of other situations where people suffer harm due to the negligence of others, including:

• Defective Products: Manufacturers or other parties may be held responsible when a dangerous or poorly designed product injures a consumer. These cases may involve defective auto parts, home appliances, medical devices, toys, tools, or anything else that failed to function correctly and caused injuries.
• Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse: People who receive care in long-term care facilities may suffer harm due to the negligence of a facility or its staff. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or other forms of intentional harm may occur in some situations. In others, people may be injured due to a lack of medical care, lack of supervision, malnutrition, dehydration, falls, bedsores, or other issues related to neglect.
• Medical Malpractice: Healthcare providers can cause serious harm to patients when they fail to provide the proper care. Injuries can occur due to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, emergency room errors, medication errors, and other forms of negligence by medical professionals.
• Wrongful Death: Family members may receive compensation for the losses that occur when a loved one has died because of someone's negligence. Compensation may address the loss of income the deceased person would have earned, loss of companionship, emotional trauma suffered by family members, funeral expenses, and other damages.
