Baltimore Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

Drunk driving has been illegal for decades. Texting while driving is also illegal in Baltimore, Maryland.

Unfortunately, these laws do not prevent all drivers from engaging in these dangerous behaviors. In both cases, drivers do not have their full attention on the road and may have decreased reaction times.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a driver who was texting or under the influence, you can seek compensation for your losses.

At Greenberg Law Offices, our experienced Baltimore drunk driving accident lawyers can help you hold the negligent party accountable for your accident. We understand that it is even more difficult to deal with injuries when the accident should not have happened.

It is normal to be angry and want answers and justice.

We also know that many people feel pressure to accept a quick settlement offer after a crash. Insurance companies may present an offer before you fully understand the cost of your injuries. Greenberg Law Offices can review any settlement proposal and explain whether it’s fair.

The Dangers Of Drunk And Distracted Driving

Drunk and distracted drivers do not have their eyes or attention on the road, which means they often miss critical information such as slowing or stopped traffic, stoplights, stop signs, and turns in the road.

Head-on collisions, rear-end collisions and high-speed accidents are common under these circumstances.

These types of accidents can cause serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, fractures, burns, severe lacerations and internal organ damage. Injury victims may suffer temporary or permanent disability. In the worst accidents, wrongful death may be the result.

Serious injuries such as these will require considerable medical treatment.

You and your family will need compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Punitive damages may also be available in drunk driving accident cases. Please speak with one of our lawyers to learn whether you are entitled to compensatory and punitive damages.

Why You Need a Baltimore Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Drunk driving crashes often lead to medical bills, missed work, and a long recovery process.

A Baltimore drunk driving accident lawyer can help you understand your options, then pursue compensation from the negligent driver and their insurance company.

Unfortunately, drunk driving accident cases often involve more than a basic insurance claim.

Maryland follows strict contributory negligence rules, which means the insurance company may try to blame you for part of the crash to avoid paying compensation. You need a lawyer who knows how to push back against those tactics.

When you work with Greenberg Law Offices, we can do the following:

• Investigate how the crash happened
• Review police and DUI records
• Speak with witnesses and accident reconstruction professionals
• Handle communication with the insurance company
• Calculate the full value of your damages
• Negotiate for a fair settlement or take your case to court if needed

Insurance companies often act quickly after a drunk driving crash. An adjuster may contact you soon after the accident and ask for a recorded statement. Before you agree to anything, it’s important to understand how your words could affect your claim.

A drunk driving accident lawyer can protect your interests and help you avoid mistakes that could reduce your compensation.
