Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Rule and Why Legal Representation Is Critical
Maryland is one of the few states that follows the contributory negligence rule, which can significantly impact personal injury claims. Under this rule:
- If you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you are barred from recovering any compensation.
- Insurance companies often use this rule to dispute claims and minimize payouts by shifting partial blame onto the victim.
Why You Need a Lawyer:
- Proving Fault:
- A skilled personal injury lawyer gathers evidence, consults experts, and builds a strong case to prove the other party’s sole negligence.
- Overcoming Insurance Tactics:
- Insurers frequently exploit Maryland’s contributory negligence standard to avoid liability. An attorney can counter these tactics and advocate for fair compensation.
- Navigating Complex Laws:
- Maryland’s personal injury laws, including its statute of limitations (Md. Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings, § 5-101), require precise legal knowledge.
