According to the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), the upcoming construction project on I-95 and Belvidere Road will allow easier access from I-95 to Cecil County and aim to reduce heavy traffic and accidents. The state deems that this project will be complete at the end of 2025. Until then—and possibly thereafter—drivers and passengers could suffer severe injuries in accidents involving large commercial trucks.
If you or a loved one was hurt in a truck accident on I-95, the Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers can represent you throughout the claims process. One of our Cecil County truck accident lawyers can identify the liable party and hold them accountable for your losses on your behalf. The only thing you have to do is focus on healing from your injuries.

Tasks Our Cecil County Truck Accident Lawyers Can Complete for You
While you recover from your injuries, the Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers can handle your truck crash claim from start to finish. The responsibilities we assume include the following:
Gathering Evidence of Negligence
Evidence serves as the backbone of your case. Usually, truck accident claims call for the following types of evidence:
- Photos of the crash scene, the damaged vehicles, and visible injuries
- Your medical records
- Traffic camera footage
- Truck maintenance records
- Employee information
- Dashcam footage
- The accident report
- Black box data
- Statements from eyewitnesses
If you have the smallest piece of evidence, bring it to your lawyer. It could make all the difference in the compensation you receive.
Proving Fault and Liability
Evidence can help us point to what caused the crash. Common causes of these accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Speeding
- Improper lane change or merge
- Failure to check the truck’s blind spot
- Failure to yield
- Defective brakes
- Inclement weather conditions
- Unsecured or poorly loaded cargo
- Road debris
Once we know the cause of the crash, we’ll be able to identify who’s on the hook for your damages. If the truck driver didn’t check their blind spot and hit you, we would typically go after their employer since it usually takes financial responsibility for its employees’ poor decisions. Alternatively, if the truck’s brakes malfunctioned, a manufacturer may be liable.
Multiple parties could shoulder the financial burden of an accident. Your personal injury attorney can pursue each one for your compensation accordingly.
Negotiating for a Settlement
Once we name the liable party, we can calculate your damages and file a claim with the insurance company. The adjuster might not come back with the offer we want at first, so we’ll begin negotiating with them. Usually, we can come to an agreement without going to trial. However, if we cannot find a common ground, we take no issue with doing so.
Providing Optimal Client Care
We prioritize client satisfaction above all else at the Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers. Once you sign on with us, we’ll give you a unique text number for 24/7 communication—on top of our email and phone number.
In addition, we can suggest medical providers who can help treat your injuries. We trust these professionals in our network so much that we would refer our friends and family to them.

Maryland Sets Time Limits on Filing Truck Accident Cases
We only have a certain amount of time to file a case against the liable party. According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, you typically have three years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. The same goes for wrongful death claimants under Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904.
The court may not let you submit your case if you try to file past the deadline. That’s why it’s crucial to begin building your case now. Given sufficient notice, our attorneys can help you comply with the three-year deadline so you can recover fair compensation.
