MARYLAND AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

FACT SHEET

Updated 6/2005

DISCLAIMER: This Fact Sheet is not a substitute for legal advice. Students with specific questions, problems, disputes, or cases should consult with our Office or another legal service provider of their choice. Do not act on or rely upon this information without first consulting with our Office or another legal service provider. The information contained here pertains to Maryland law only and not to the laws of other states. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information or of materials contained on other websites that we list.

 

Many students come to GLAO after being involved in an automobile accident. Students come with a wide range of questions, problems, and needs.

GLAO is available to help answer your questions, evaluate your case, and -- where an outside attorney is not necessary -- provide assistance to help you pursue your legal claims. We cannot, however, sign our name to court documents or represent you in court proceedings.

The law governing automobile accidents is based on state statutes and on state case law. Laws regarding liability, compensation for property damage, and personal injury damages can be complex and do not easily lend themselves to simple descriptions. Similarly, statutes governing various aspects of automobile accidents - including regulation of insurance companies - can be technical and somewhat complex. Automobile accident law varies from state to state; laws you may have been familiar with in one state may not be the same for Maryland.

Take advantage of our free services. Come in for a consultation if you have been involved in an accident. Before coming in, you may find it helpful to review the following materials:
