Famous for Chesapeake Bay fishing, blue crab production, and the 1,200-foot Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland is a very beautiful state. Unfortunately, Marylanders share cold winter weather with their northern brethren.
Canadian and US Snowbirds migrate to warmer southern states as soon as Thanksgiving weekend approaches, each trying to stay warm until the spring solstice. This is indeed a snowbird rite of passage. However, driving long distances increases someone’s risk of getting into a serious car accident.
When accidents take place in a different country, state, or province, things can quickly become overwhelming. When that happens, it can be difficult to know what your next steps are. That’s where Snowbird Accidents comes in.
If the accident happened in Maryland, Canadian or US Snowbirds have three years from the date of their car accident to file their claim. If you file outside this period, your claim will be barred. As such, you lose your right to sue and recover damages. Limitation dates can be complicated and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Contacting a lawyer is a key component when finding out a state’s personal injury laws and remedies.
Importantly, Maryland has a “fault” auto insurance system. It is quite probable you will not be allowed to bring an action, if you are in any way responsible for an accident. In other words, injured parties aren’t always able to recover damages. This places a tremendous burden on car drivers who need to prove they did not in any way cause or contribute to the accident. In general, this aspect usually does not apply to passengers in vehicles.
In cases involving an innocent plaintiff, joint and several liability applies.
Should an accident happen, it is very important to speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer in Maryland prior to speaking to any insurance company. Lawyers will review the facts and determine if this is a case you should proceed with.
For 35 years, Snowbird Accidents has been assisting Canadian Snowbirds and US Snowbirds involved in car accidents and other personal injury accidents across North America. Very few lawyers and attorneys understand the complexity of cross-border accidents.
