What Can Someone Expect After They Have Been Pulled Over On Suspicion Of DUI?

There is always going to be a basis for a traffic stop. There must be some sort of violation before an officer can pull you over. He will make initial contact with you and ask you for your license and registration. At that point, if he suspects an alcohol related offense, he is going to be observing your person. He is looking for things like bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, the smell of alcohol, or dexterity issues. He has to have what is called reasonable, articulable suspicion that you are either impaired or under the influence of alcohol.

Workers’ Compensation – Workers’ compensation systems exist to replace lost wages and to provide medical care and permanent disability compensation to workers who have been injured on the job or become ill as a result of their work environment. The second justification for workers’ compensation systems is that they allow employers to address the needs of injured and sick workers in a no-fault environment. By shielding employers from costly and drawn-out litigation in most injury and illness scenarios, workers’ compensation benefits the employer as much as the worker who needs to file a claim.

Can I Still File A Claim If I Was Partially To Blame For The Accident?

Maryland subscribes to a pure comparative negligence doctrine when dealing with all personal injury claims, including auto accidents. Even if you were 90% at fault for the accident that injured you, you are still entitled to recover for the ten percent of damages that have been attributed to the negligence of the other party in the case. Deciding which percentage of fault is to be attributed to each party is very complex and will be up to the jury or judge, if your case goes all the way to trial.
