Bike accident lawyer Baltimore, MD

Who is accountable for my bicycle accident? 
 
The liability for your bike accident is determined by the exact circumstances of the event. At Blank Kim Injury Law, we meticulously research each case to discover who is at fault and guarantee you obtain appropriate compensation. The most typical culpable party is a careless motorist who may have been speeding, inattentive, or failing to cede the right of way. If the motorist broke traffic regulations and caused your injuries, they and their insurance company may be held responsible.

Poorly maintained roads, malfunctioning traffic signals, and a lack of sufficient signage may all contribute to an accident. If this is the case, a government entity in charge of road maintenance may be liable. Furthermore, if your accident was caused by a defective bicycle part or inadequate safety equipment, the producer or merchant of the goods may be held liable under product liability rules. 
 
Other parties, such as pedestrians or cyclists, may also be held responsible if their hazardous activity contributed to the collision. However, Maryland has a contributory negligence law, which means that if you are even 1% at blame, you may be precluded from seeking compensation.

 How long do I have to file a claim in Maryland? 
 
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including a bike accident, is normally three years from the date of the incident. This means you have three years to bring a case against the accountable party. If you do not meet this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. At Blank Kim Injury Law, we strongly advocate taking action as quickly as possible to protect critical evidence and improve your claim. 
 
However, some exclusions may apply. If your accident involved a government organization, such as a city or state agency in charge of road maintenance, you may have a considerably shorter time frame—usually within one year—to file written notice of your claim. Furthermore, if the accident involves a youngster or someone who is mentally handicapped, the time restriction may be increased. 
 
Insurance companies frequently delay or refuse claims, so responding immediately will give you enough time to develop a good case.
