Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Maryland

About Maryland Motorcycle Accident Laws

When a motorcyclist suffers personal injury in a motorcycle collision, if the accident was caused by another party’s actions or negligence, the motorcyclist may be able to obtain financial compensation for his or her injuries.  It is crucial that victims understand the motorcycle accident laws impacting their potential claims.  In Maryland, there are a number of state laws regarding liability, negligence, and other matters, all of which typically affect victims’ ability to obtain damages.  At Proner & Proner, our motorcycle accident lawyers are well-versed in Maryland state law – an expertise that enhances the services we provide our clients.  Our attorneys are committed to obtaining any compensation to which our clients may be entitled and to helping clients understand their rights.

Motorcycle Accident Laws Affecting Maryland Claims

Motorcycle accident law includes a number of statutes pertaining to the rights of victims injured in a crash.  The law establishes the victim’s right to pursue financial compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence – for example, the motorist or other party involved in the accident or the designer, manufacturer, or distributer of a defective automotive or motorcycle part.  The victim can seek damages from the negligent party by filing a motorcycle accident claim.  If he or she is successful in proving the responsible party’s fault, the victim may obtain a settlement compensating his or her medical expenses, lost income, decreased earning potential, and other losses related to the accident.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash, you need an experienced attorney on your side.  Contact Proner & Proner to schedule a free case evaluation with one of our motorcycle accident lawyers.  We welcome clients throughout Maryland.

State Motorcycle Accident Laws

Each state has motorcycle accident laws, the specifics of which vary state to state.  In Maryland, these particulars include:

Helmet Laws

Maryland’s universal helmet law requires that all riders wear a helmet while riding, regardless of the age of the rider.  The universality of this law distinguishes Maryland from states that only require riders under a certain age to wear helmets as well as states that do not have helmet laws.

Other Pertinent Personal Injury Laws

State personal injury laws impact the filing of a motorcycle accident claim.  Personal injury laws in Maryland include: 

Statute of limitations – Maryland state law requires that, when someone sustains a personal injury, he or she must file suit within a certain amount of time after the accident that caused the injury.  This time limit is known as the statute of limitations.  Once the statute of limitations passes, the victim cannot press charges or obtain damages.  The statute of limitations is one year for personal injury claims and three years for both property damage (i.e. seeking compensation for damage to one’s motorcycle) and product liability claims (i.e. seeking compensation for an injury caused by a defective motorcycle part).

Negligence – Maryland’s negligence laws tend to favor victims, compared to states that limit the financial recovery of victims who are partially responsible for their own injuries (comparatively negligent).  For example, in a motor vehicle accident case, not using a seatbelt is not considered comparative negligence in Maryland, whereas in other states it may be.  Moreover, Maryland does not utilize the legal theory of contributory negligence, in which comparative negligence can bar a victim from obtaining a settlement.
