A:
Maryland auto accidents are almost always preventable. In other words, for an accident to occur, someone had to have made a mistake. Because the fault lies with that person, he or she is responsible for the consequences.
The same is true of any Maryland truck accident. If you lost a loved one in a truck crash, you can pretty much assume that someone caused the crash, that someone is at fault for the accident and therefore, that someone is responsible to pay for the pain and damage the accident brought to you and your family.
Determining exactly who that person was may not be easy, depending on the circumstances of the accident.
In some cases, the person responsible for the accident may actually be the one who died. For example, if a drunk driver smashed into the rear of a truck and died, that driver may have been at fault. Even then, that person’s auto insurance may still pay compensation to the family of the victim for funeral costs and their pain and suffering.
Simply put, there is no such thing as a Maryland wrongful death case where no one is at fault, and you and your family have a right to sue for compensation. While money won’t bring back your loved one, it can at least help ease the financial burden that resulted from the accident.
If you’re unsure where to begin or simply don’t want to handle the painful details on your own, call the experienced Rockville accident attorneys of Nickelsporn and Lundin at 1-800-875-9700. Your initial case consultation is free, and there is never any bill for our services unless we obtain a recovery for you.
