Towson Car Accident Lawyers

EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS Fighting for Injured Clients in Towson Since 2004

I-83 runs through the heart of the area, connecting to I-95, the 495 Beltway, and Baltimore County’s network of commuter roads. The traffic volume on these corridors makes car accidents a daily reality in Towson and the surrounding communities. When a collision disrupts your health, your income, and your daily life, the legal decisions you make in the days and weeks that follow can shape what kind of recovery may be available to you.

Alex and LaFleur Attorneys at Law LLC has served injured clients in Towson, Timonium, and Greater Baltimore since 2004. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so there’s no fee unless we obtain a settlement. Free consultations are available in person or virtually.

What to Do After a Car Accident

If you’re physically and mentally able, taking these steps right away will protect your health and strengthen your legal claim:

Get medical attention: Seeing a doctor immediately matters for your health, and a prompt medical report becomes valuable evidence if an insurer later tries to dispute your injuries.
Call the police: Even when both drivers appear uninjured, request a police report. That document can be introduced as evidence and establishes an official record of the accident.
Gather information at the scene: Collect witness contact information and take photos with your phone. Everything you gather gives us more to work with as we pursue a fair settlement on your behalf.
Save your receipts: Medical billing statements, records of lost wages, and repair estimates all feed into the calculation of damages.
Stay silent: Don’t tell the other driver you’re fine. Some injuries take days to appear, and anything you say at the scene can be used against you later. Don’t speak with the other driver’s insurance company either. Let us handle that communication.

Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Rule

Maryland applies one of the strictest fault standards in the country: contributory negligence. Under this rule, if a court finds that an injured party was even one percent responsible for the accident, that person may be barred from recovering any compensation at all. There is no sliding scale, no proportional reduction. Any finding of fault on your part can wipe out your claim entirely.

Insurance companies know this rule well and use it deliberately. Adjusters may attempt to assign partial blame to the injured driver early in the claims process, before an attorney is involved, in hopes of avoiding a payout entirely. Having a car accident attorney in Towson working on your behalf from the start means those fault-shifting arguments can be challenged during investigation and negotiation, before they have a chance to take hold.

Economic & Non-Economic Damages in a Maryland Car Accident Case

A car accident claim can address two categories of losses. Understanding both from the outset helps ensure nothing is left on the table.

Economic Damages
These are the quantifiable financial losses: medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages while you were unable to work, and property damage to your vehicle. Each category requires documentation, which is why saving medical billing statements, employer wage records, and repair estimates from the date of the accident matters.

Non-Economic Damages
These cover losses that don’t appear on a bill: pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of activities that defined your daily life before the accident. Maryland places a statutory cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases, and that cap is subject to periodic adjustment. Thorough documentation of how the accident has affected your quality of life supports these claims.

The Filing Deadline for Car Accident Claims in Maryland

Maryland law generally gives injured parties three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline can permanently forfeit the right to pursue recovery, regardless of how clear the other driver’s fault may be. Certain circumstances can affect the applicable deadline, including cases involving government vehicles or claims brought on behalf of minor plaintiffs. The sooner you speak with a car accident attorney, the more time there is to investigate, gather evidence, and file before any deadline closes.

Proving Causation in a Car Accident Case

Causation is a required element of any personal injury claim. It means proving that the accident was the actual cause of your injuries. Without it, there may be no path to a settlement, even if the other driver was clearly at fault.

Here’s where it gets complicated. Neck and back injuries are among the most common car accident injuries, and they’re also among the most common sites of pre-existing conditions. Defense attorneys for the other driver’s insurer will often argue that your injuries stem from those prior conditions rather than from the collision itself.

Consider a scenario: you’re rear-ended at the intersection of Loch Raven Boulevard and Joppa Road. The other driver was braking, so the impact was moderate, and you feel well enough to exchange information and drive home. A few days later, you can’t rotate your neck without pain, and sitting at your desk for more than a few minutes is no longer possible.

If you can connect those injuries to the accident, the defendant’s insurer may be responsible for your medical treatment, rehabilitation, and associated damages, both economic and non-economic. But if you’ve had neck or back problems for years, expect the insurer to raise that history as a defense.

Through the legal discovery process, the defendant’s insurer will gain access to your medical history and will look for prior treatment records to argue that your injuries predate the accident. That’s precisely why seeking medical attention immediately after the collision matters so much, not just for your health, but for your case. A treating physician who is already familiar with your history is well-positioned to go on record distinguishing your pre-existing conditions from injuries caused by the accident. When a case requires it, we can also bring in expert witnesses to testify on causation.

Resolving causation disputes in car accident cases takes discipline, attention to detail, and a thorough command of the record. Our attorneys and staff bring all of that to every case we handle.
