A Vehicle Accident in Eldersburg, Maryland
In a vehicle-pedestrian accident in Eldersburg, a vehicle was traveling southbound on Oklahoma Road and was approaching a construction site located on the northbound side of the street. As the vehicle approached the site, the driver glanced over at the construction site and when he looked back at the road, he witnessed a construction employee standing in the middle of the southbound lane right in front of him. He applied his brakes but was unable to stop before striking the pedestrian construction worker, who was knocked over and fell into the southbound shoulder. The employer at the construction company advised that the worker was in the road to direct traffic around a piece of equipment that was sweeping dirt off the road. The police deputy who filed the police report noted that there were no signs prior to the site warning of work in the roadway and there were no traffic cones to aid with traffic control measures while the road cleaning was taking place.

Will My Case Go to Court?
Here’s some good news about many types of cases: Most can be resolved outside of court through an insurance arrangement or settlement. But sometimes going to court is the best way to get the compensation you deserve. It’s always important to have an experienced Maryland lawyer on your side.
For a personal injury case in Eldersburg, sometimes there is no need to go to court for a civil matter because a talented lawyer can help you negotiate a settlement that is accepted by both sides. In this situation, nobody goes to court, yet everyone carefully creates an agreement that resolves the situation. While a lot of civil cases settle, the insurance companies keep offering less and less on cases. Due to this, it is important to have a lawyer representing you who is familiar with trying cases in front of a judge or jury.
Many lawyers claim to handle personal injury or car accident cases but have never seen the inside of a courtroom. Before hiring a lawyer make sure you know that they are experienced in litigation. Also, the insurance companies will sometimes offer more money to law firms that go to court because the insurance company knows that the lawyer isn’t just looking for a quick settlement for the client.
For a worker’s compensation case, these cases often involve an appearance in front of a workers’ compensation commissioner. Make sure your lawyer has experience with worker’s compensation claims like yours, right here in Eldersburg and Baltimore.
Please contact us for an initial consultation about your case and we will help you understand your options and the potential outcomes involved.
