Common Causes of Fatal Car Accidents

Fatal car accidents can happen for various reasons, many of which involve negligence or reckless behavior. Some of the most frequent causes we see include:

• Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or other distractions behind the wheel can lead to devastating accidents.
• Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction times and increases the severity of collisions.
• Alcohol Impairment: Drunk driving remains a leading cause of fatal car accidents, despite strict penalties aimed at deterring this behavior.
• Reckless Driving: Aggressive behaviors such as tailgating, weaving between lanes, or disregard for traffic signals put everyone on the road at risk.
• Poor Road Conditions: Defective highways, inadequate signage, or improper maintenance can contribute to fatal accidents.

Our legal team thoroughly investigates the circumstances surrounding each case to identify all liable parties, ensuring your family receives full and fair compensation.

Your Rights as a Surviving Family Member

Maryland law allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death claim following a fatal car accident. This type of lawsuit seeks to hold negligent parties accountable and provides financial support to families coping with their loss.

Compensation May Include:

• Economic Damages: Covering medical bills incurred before your loved one’s passing, funeral and burial expenses, and lost future income.
• Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress endured by surviving family members.
• Punitive Damages: Awarded in cases where the at-fault party demonstrated particularly egregious behavior, such as extreme recklessness or intentional harm.

Understanding these rights is essential, especially since Maryland follows a contributory negligence rule, which can bar compensation if the deceased is even slightly at fault for the accident. A skilled attorney from Rowe Weinstein & Sohn can help ensure your case is presented effectively to protect your family’s interests.
