Proving Liability in a Motorcycle Collision in Edgewood, MD

You should not have to pay for the costs and losses you incurred if another motorist caused your Edgewood crash and injuries. Our legal team will build a case against the at-fault driver to show they acted negligently and are, therefore, liable for the harm they caused you and your family.

Proving negligence and documenting liability requires four factors:

• Duty of Care: The driver had an obligation to drive a certain way to protect others from injury, which includes following traffic laws.
• Breach of Duty: The at-fault driver broke their obligation to you and other drivers, typically by breaking a traffic law. 
• Causation: This traffic violation caused the crash and your injuries. 
• Damages: You suffered harm, either physically, financially, and/or emotionally.

By gathering evidence to document these factors, a motorcycle accident lawyer in Edgewood can file a personal injury claim or sue the at-fault driver to seek the justice you deserve in your case.

The evidence in your motorcycle case may come from a variety of sources, such as the following: 

• Medical records
• Police report
• Photos and videos
• Eyewitness statements 
• Subject matter expert testimonies

We will also collect financial statements to show how your injuries have affected your income and earning potential.

What If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet or Violated Another Law?

Of note, Md. Transp. Code § 21-1306 requires all motorcyclists to wear approved helmets while riding. Failure to do so could be used against you by the insurance company, especially if you suffered facial injuries or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This could significantly impact the outcome of a claim.

Our team will fight any allegations that you played a role in causing the collision or your injuries.

Deadlines If We Need to Sue the Driver Who Caused Your Edgewood Accident

We may be able to reach an out-of-court agreement on a settlement amount. We often negotiate these claims with the at-fault driver’s insurer and settle without suing or going to trial. However, our personal injury attorneys will litigate the case in civil court in Harford County, Baltimore City County, or another appropriate jurisdiction if necessary.

If we need to sue to seek damages on your behalf, the deadlines include:

• Three years for personal injury cases under Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101
• Three years for wrongful death cases under Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904

It is crucial that you initiate legal action before these deadlines expire. Failure to file your lawsuit before the deadline could bar your case from court and destroy your ability to negotiate a better settlement from the insurers. 

However, you can call Adam Smallow and let us handle your motorcycle accident claim. We will make sure your case complies with all deadlines, which will give you the time you need to heal from your injuries.
