Determining Car Accident Liability in Carroll County

Maryland uses a fault system to determine car accident liability.  Determining car accident liability dictates who will pay for any injuries, property damage and other losses suffered by the injured party.

If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Maryland, it’s important to understand the basics of liability and how to protect yourself and your rights.

Carroll County car accident liability

Liability means who caused the accident.  In order to have a successful car accident case in Carroll County, you need to prove that the other driver was at fault, or negligent.

Any unlawful driving activity could be grounds for negligence. However, there are many legal activities that contribute to distracted driving and could be used to prove liability.
If you are involved in a car accident in Carroll County, then you can protect your rights by calling the police to come to the scene and prepare a report. This report is usually key to determining who is at fault in an accident.

Ultimately, the other driver’s insurance company will make its own determination of fault. Insurance companies are looking for ways to mitigate, or limit, their liability when one of their covered drivers is involved in an accident. This is why they employ their own investigators.

It’s best to consult your own Carroll County Car Accident Lawyer, before you speak with anyone from the other driver’s insurance company.
