Understanding Contributory Negligence in Maryland: 🚗
In Maryland, even being 1% at fault in a car accident can mean you may not recover damages due to the contributory negligence rule. Maryland is one of the few states with this strict rule. Here’s an example - Imagine you're driving in Maryland and get into a car accident. During the investigation, it's found that you were slightly distracted by your phone, even for a moment. Under Maryland's contributory negligence rule, this tiny distraction could make you 1% at fault, potentially preventing you from receiving any compensation for the accident. Have questions? Give John a call.
