- DUI/DWIDrunk driving and substance abuse. Drunk drivers are always dangerous; drunk truck drivers, however, pose an even greater threat. The sheer magnitude of their vehicles almost guarantees catastrophic injuries in the event of a collision. A driver who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs may not only face criminal charges, but he or she may be held liable for any injuries you sustain in the event of a crash.
- Wrongful DeathIf you lost someone you love due to another person’s negligent actions, you may have the right to receive economic and non-economic damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. While you should absolutely take time to grieve before deciding to take action, be sure to pay attention to time, as the state of Maryland places certain time limitations on various wrongful death accidents.
- Traffic ViolationsAggressive driving. Cutting in and out of lanes, tailgating other vehicles, speeding up to pass other drivers: these are all aggressive driving acts. An aggressive truck driver can cause a serious accident involving multiple cars, easily knock over road signs, or jack-knife if forced to attempt to brake too quickly.

- Dog BitesTracey v. Solesky, the Court of Appeals, Maryland’s highest court, changed the law as it applies to pit bulls. The Court ruled that when a pit bull injures someone, the owner is responsible even if they had no prior knowledge that the dog was dangerous. This is known as strict liability. The ruling also applied strict liability to landlords when a pit bull owned by a tenant injured someone. This decision was criticized by animal groups as “breed discrimination” as it singled out pit bulls. Plaxen Adler Muncy, P.A. and many other victims’ advocates encouraged the Maryland General Assembly to change the law to apply strict liability to all dog breeds, so that the problems with pit bulls being singled out would be eliminated while still protecting victims of dog bites.
