Maryland Auto Accident Laws

Maryland law requires you to report an accident to the police if it involves injuries, death, or property damage exceeding a certain amount. Be sure to report the accident to the appropriate authorities promptly.

Maryland follows a fault-based system for auto accidents. This means that the party responsible for causing the accident is generally held liable for the resulting damages. Determining fault may involve evidence like police reports, witness statements, and other relevant information.

But what happens if all parties share fault? Under the contributory negligence doctrine in Maryland, if a plaintiff is found to have contributed in any way to the accident or their injuries, they may be barred from recovering any compensation from the defendant, regardless of the extent of the defendant's fault.

For example, even if a plaintiff is found to be only 1% at fault for the accident, they may be completely barred from recovering damages from the other party, even if that other party is 99% at fault.

The opinions that matter Most

Read our 5-Star Reviews
  • Showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck

    “James Farmer and his team exceeded all expectations! I had a very serious criminal case and his firm was recommended to me by a family member. I was incarcerated during this time and he and his associate Stephanie came to update me on multiple occasions on the progress of my case. They were not only professional but the amount of time and energy they put into my case showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck! They prepared for trial, but in the end was able to work out a plea deal that did not include any jail time. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer and his team for any criminal case!”

  • We received a great outcome and my family was 100% pleased

    “Attorney Farmer helped me and my family through a domestic situation which turned out to be great. His expertise, presentation, and professionalism all worked together and we received a great outcome and my family was 100% pleased. I would highly recommend!”

  • The staff at the office was very friendly and professional.

    “I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone who is in need of an attorney.”

  • Keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with

    I just recently had James E. Farmer handle my second DUI and I received the best possible outcome I could've wished for. The judge I had could've really laid down the hammer on me but James worked his magic and did an incredible job. He knows what he is talking about and is very humble. He keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with, and he explains everything so you know exactly what is going on. This is my first time hiring James and without a doubt, I would hire him again. He would be the first person I'd call if another legal problem should ever rise-- though I've made a promise to myself to stay away from the law as much as possible. He will be highly recommended to anyone that asks me if I know a great lawyer.

  • He got me the best possible sentencing I've could have asked for.

    “I've had several lawyers over the last decade and James Farmer has been the absolute best.”
