Motor vehicle accidents can be caused by various types of negligent driving or other factors. Serafini Law has the experience to handle your specific case. We can help you achieve justice if you have been injured in a car accident caused by one of the following types of negligent drivers:

Drunk Drivers

Despite strict laws against the use of alcohol or drugs while behind the wheel, drunk driving remains a leading cause of car accidents. If an intoxicated driver caused your accident, you can take steps to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.You could also receive punitive damages that may be ordered because of a drunk driver's violation of the law.

Distracted Drivers

In today's technology-driven world, distracted driving has become a significant risk on the road. Whether they involve texting, talking on the phone, or using a navigation system, distractions can lead to devastating accidents. We are prepared to assist you in showing that a distracted driver was responsible for an accident, and we will work to recover damages for you.

Speeding

Speed limits are meant to protect everyone on the road. Drivers who violate speed limits may experience reduced reaction times. High speeds can also increase the impact force in a crash. Because of these issues, collisions can result in serious injuries. If you were injured in an accident caused by a speeding driver, our attorney can help you recover compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Wrong-Way Drivers

People who drive on the wrong side of the road, travel in the wrong direction on one-way streets, or enter freeway exits may cause head-on collisions or other dangerous accidents. These accidents may occur because of impaired driving, confusion about road signs, or distracted driving. Serafini Law can help you pursue justice for your injuries and recover compensation that will address your financial and personal losses.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Collisions can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which may have long-lasting effects. Common car accident injuries that Serafini Law can help you receive compensation for include:

• Whiplash: This occurs when the neck is suddenly jolted, and it can cause pain, stiffness, and even paralysis in some cases.
• Broken Bones: Fractures are common in high-impact accidents, and they may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Head injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain trauma, and people who experience TBIs may have long-term cognitive, behavioral, and emotional issues, as well as physical concerns such as seizures.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the nerves in the spinal cord can lead to paralysis and other physical issues that can significantly impact the victim's quality of life.
• Internal Injuries: Car accidents can result in damage affecting internal organs, as well as bleeding inside the body. These injuries may not be immediately apparent, but they can be life-threatening if they are not treated promptly.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim

As you address the damages you have suffered in a car accident, Serafini Law will guide you through each step of the process:

• 1. Gathering Evidence: It is essential to make sure all relevant evidence is compiled, such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photographs of the accident scene. Our attorney can help collect and preserve all available evidence to support your claim.
• 2. Determining Liability: Under Maryland law, a person who is partially at fault for an accident may be prevented from recovering damages from others who were involved. Our attorney will carefully analyze the details of your case to determine liability and build compelling arguments to show that one or more other parties were fully responsible for your damages.
• 3. Calculating Damages: Once liability is established, it is important to accurately calculate the ways you have been affected, including the amounts of medical bills and lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering. Our team has the experience needed to ensure that all potential damages are accounted for and maximize the compensation you can receive.
• 4. Negotiating With Insurance Companies: When the driver who was at fault for an accident has an auto insurance policy, their insurance company will often attempt to settle a claim for less than the full amount of damages suffered by the victim. At Serafini Law our attorney is a skilled negotiator who will advocate for you and ensure that you can receive a fair settlement. If an appropriate agreement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court and fight for your rights.
• 5. Filing a Lawsuit: Sometimes, litigation may be necessary to secure the compensation you deserve. We have extensive courtroom experience, and our lawyer will represent your interests throughout the legal process and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
