Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim 

If you or someone you love was involved in a motorcycle accident in Maryland, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your resulting damages, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If someone else—whether another motorist or an auto manufacturer—was at fault for the collision, you likely have grounds for a personal injury claim.

To file a claim, you will need to prove the following: 

• Another person or party had a legal responsibility to take and/or avoid certain actions in order to prevent causing you harm (“duty of care”)
• The other person or party failed to uphold this duty of care, typically by acting negligently or wrongfully (e.g., illegally) 
• You were injured and suffered measurable damages, or losses, for which you can be financially compensated 
• Your injuries and your resulting damages were the direct or indirect result of the other person or party’s negligent or wrongful conduct (“causation”)

Our team can help you establish each of these elements, as well as prove the full extent of your damages. We gather important evidence, such as medical records and accident reports, to build powerful and persuasive cases for our clients. 

Contributory Negligence in Maryland 

Most states follow what is known as the rule of comparative negligence, but Maryland is a contributory negligence state. Under this rule, injured parties are prohibited from filing personal injury claims if they are even one percent at fault for the incident that caused their injuries. 

What does this mean for your motorcycle accident case? 

You’ll need to prove that you did not play any role in causing the crash. In other words, you must prove that the other person or party was entirely at fault. This can be difficult to do without the help of an experienced attorney who knows how to push back against insurance companies’ efforts to blame victims and thereby deny claims. 

At Gracia & Mintz, our motorcycle accident attorneys not only know how to negotiate with insurance companies but are also prepared to represent you at trial if necessary. We are relentless in our pursuit of maximum compensation for injured bikers and their families.
