Most seasoned Baltimore personal injury lawyers will tell you the answer, generally, is yes. All drivers must use reasonable care for the safety of others. If one of those drivers follows too closely, or fails to pay attention, and strikes the driver in front, then, yes, they are at fault. But that's not automatic. Many experienced Baltimore personal injury lawyers have argued that the driver of the car in front has responsibilities too. They must signal an intent to slow, stop, or turn. If they fail to adhere to these, it may well be that they caused or contributed to the accident. And of course, there is the "emergency doctrine", discussed in another chapter, sometimes seized upon by judges to deny a claim.
The "value" of a claim –the amount of money your entitled to recover, is based on many factors: if you are entitled to recover, from whom, the coverage, medical expenses, lost wages, costs of litigation, pain, suffering, anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and the venue of the case. I've recovered millions for people who have sustained serious bodily injury. I offer my Maryland personal injury victims a reduced attorney fee program, allowing them to retain a greater percentage of their award.
