1. Howard County, Maryland car accident law is based on Maryland's "fault" system; meaning, the
driver who is at fault and caused the accident is responsible for paying the damages to anyone who was injured or harmed by the accident --- including the other driver, passengers, pedestrians, etc.
2. The one exception to the "fault" system in auto accidents throughout Maryland is PIP, or Personal Injury Protection, coverage; also called by some insurance companies " economic loss protection".
3. Those of us who are experienced in car accidents in Maryland usually simplify the descriptive event into two parts : (i) liability and (ii) and damages.
4. "Liability" answers and refers to the question, "Who caused the accident?"
"Damages" is the term we use that refers to the consequences of the other driver's negligence or carelessness. In other words, " What harm did the negligence or carelessness cause ?"
5. I strongly advise my personal injury clients to seek medical attention as immediately as possible after a car accident in which they feel they have been injured. Insurance companies are quick to marginalize or even discount untreated or treatment-delayed personal injury victims. Treatment should, at a minimum, include a professional visit early-on with a medical doctor (MD). Personal injury must be documented by third-party professionals
