Attorneys Addressing Serious Injuries Involving Negligence in Prince Frederick

When people suffer serious injuries, they will often want to know who was responsible. The financial losses and personal harm that injuries can cause may lead to difficulties for a victim and their family, and when someone else was at fault, they may be required to pay compensation that will help a person recover.

The lawyers at Farmer & Klopfer can assist with personal injury cases in Prince Frederick and the surrounding areas, helping to ensure that our clients will be fully compensated for the damages they experienced due to injuries. We can investigate these cases, gather evidence to show that an injury was caused by negligence, and work to ensure that full compensation will be paid to our clients.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

The roads serving Prince Frederick and nearby communities carry traffic that may include local residents, commuters, commercial trucks, delivery vehicles, motorcyclists, and other vehicles. When a single driver acts negligently while on the road, they can cause a collision that may injure multiple other people. Our team can gather evidence to show that a negligent driver was at fault for an accident, or we may identify other parties who played a role in a collision. We can assist with:

Truck Accidents

A tractor-trailer truck or another commercial vehicle that is involved in a collision may cause serious injuries. Commercial truck accidents can be complex due to the different parties who may have shared a role, including a truck driver who violated traffic laws or safety regulations, a trucking company that did not supervise a truck driver correctly, a maintenance company that failed to repair a truck correctly, or a shipping company that overloaded a truck or failed to secure cargo in place.

Our attorneys can move quickly after a truck accident to gather and preserve evidence. We may use electronic logs or other data to show that an accident was caused by driver fatigue, or we may review loading and shipping records to determine whether cargo was loaded incorrectly. We will identify all responsible parties and work to hold them liable for the injuries that occurred in a truck crash.

Car Accidents

While collisions between passenger vehicles may be less serious than truck accidents, they can still lead to multiple types of injuries and damages. Car accidents may be caused by distracted driving or other forms of unsafe driving, or factors such as defective auto parts or dangerous intersections may have played a role in a collision. Our lawyers will take steps to show that a driver or another party was at fault for a collision, and we will help clients file insurance claims and obtain compensation for the harm they have suffered.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists will need to drive alongside much larger and heavier vehicles, and they understand how to maintain safety and avoid situations that could lead to injuries. However, a motorcycle rider may have no way to prevent a motorcycle accident caused by a negligent driver. They may be injured because drivers failed to check their blind spots, did not notice a motorcycle approaching an intersection, or followed too closely behind a motorcycle. Our attorneys can help ensure that motorcycle accident victims will be able to hold negligent drivers responsible for their injuries.

Delivery Driver Accidents

Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other carriers deliver packages throughout the Prince Frederick area. Delivery drivers may cause accidents due to mistakes made while behind the wheel, traffic violations committed while trying to maintain schedules, or other forms of negligence. Our lawyers can help address the complex liability issues surrounding delivery driver accidents, and we can determine whether Amazon or another company may be held responsible for the injuries that occurred in a collision with a delivery truck.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists may face risks when drivers who do not see them, do not maintain enough distance when passing, or engage in other unsafe behaviors that lead to collisions with bicycles. Bike accidents can lead to head trauma, spinal injuries, road rash, broken bones, and other serious injuries. Our legal team works to ensure that drivers are held responsible for injuring cyclists in collisions.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians may face risks wherever they walk near vehicles, including in crosswalks, parking areas, or residential neighborhoods. Drivers can cause dangerous pedestrian accidents and serious injuries when they do not yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or do not watch for pedestrians when backing out of parking spaces or driveways. Our attorneys can help injury victims obtain compensation for damages caused by the negligence of drivers.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Patients in nursing homes can suffer serious harm when staff members do not provide the proper care, fail to attend to their needs, or intentionally hurt them. Nursing home abuse and neglect may occur because of the negligence of a nursing home, including failure to ensure that a facility is fully staffed, failure to perform background checks or provide training for staff members, or failure to ensure that the proper procedures are followed.

Physical abuse may occur at nursing homes, and it may lead to issues such as unexplained bruises, cuts, fractures, or other injuries. Emotional abuse may affect residents when staff members engage in threats, intimidation, deliberate humiliation, or isolation. Sexual abuse may take place in facilities where staff members have not been properly screened or supervised.

Neglect in a nursing home can also lead to serious harm for patients. Residents who need help eating and drinking may experience malnutrition or dehydration if staff members do not attend to their needs. Falls may occur due to inadequate supervision. Bedsores may be caused by neglect or the failure to provide the proper medical treatment.
