Maryland Car Crash Caused by Negligent Driving
According to a TheBayNet.com report, a three-car collision near the intersection of Maryland Route 2 and Route 260 was caused by a driver running a red light. Police responding to the crash said that on the morning of May 6, 2009, the driver of the at-fault vehicle ran the red light at the intersection and careened into two other vehicles on Route 260.
No fatalities were reported in the crash, although four of the people involved in the accident were transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital.
A car accident in Maryland like this can be especially frustrating for the drivers and passengers whose only fault was being at the wrong place at the wrong time. When other drivers fail to follow the rules of the road, others suffer—even if they were doing their best to operate their vehicles safely.
Being injured in a car crash is an incredibly stressful and costly experience. When the dust of the collision settles, injured drivers and passengers may be wondering who will pay for the damages. In Maryland, those damages are paid by the at-fault driver or the at-fault driver’s insurance company. If no driver is found at fault, then the damages are paid by liability insurance, or by uninsured motorist insurance, depending on the circumstances.
