Maryland’s Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Representation In Maryland’s Bicycle Crash Cases
Over the past fifteen years, the Maryland legislature has moved protecting cyclists to the forefront of Maryland’s public policy agenda. With a rise in inclusivity for bikers, laws to protect the rights of Maryland cyclists have been increasingly passing. In October of 2018, a law was enacted which gives bicyclists the right of way on pedestrian crosswalks. This law means that regardless of speed or negligent driving, a motorist can be charged in court and face minor jail time and fines just as he or she would in an accident involving a pedestrian. The law also means that if you are hit by a car while riding your bicycle in a crosswalk you have a very strong personal injury claim against the at fault driver. In 2010, a bill was passed that requires motorists to keep at least three feet of distance from bicyclists when passing. However, despite laws aimed to protect Maryland cyclists from an accident, reckless driving results in thousands of injured bicyclists each year. If you or a loved one has been injured or even killed in a bicycle accident in Maryland, you may be entitled to compensation.
