Maryland Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

   

Every day in Maryland, pedestrians who are crossing in a crosswalk, jogging down the street, and even walking on the sidewalk are stuck by a car or truck. Obviously, a pedestrian does not have the luxury of a seat belt or the steel protection a car affords its occupants in an accident. 

Pedestrians are often struck near the confusion of a construction site.  Other pedestrians at risk are police officers, garbage collectors, Constellation (Baltimore Gas & Electric) utility workers, landscapers, who are struck in the course of their employment.  These individuals often have both a pedestrian personal injury claim and a workers compensation claim.  Also at increased risk statistically in pedestrian accidents are children because of their lack of height and size and the elderly because they have a more difficult time evading negligent drivers.
Defendant’s lawyers in Maryland pedestrian accidents often contend that the pedestrian crossed against the light or otherwise failed to obey the traffic control device denying the pedestrian the right-of-away.   Often, a good investigation can destroy these defenses.
