Hurt in a Car Accident? You Deserve More Than a Lowball Settlement.
Maryland car accident attorneys fighting for full and fair compensation after rear-end crashes, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving collisions, hit-and-run incidents, and rideshare injuries.
The Moments After a Crash Are Overwhelming
Your car is damaged. You're in pain. The other driver's insurance company is already calling — and they're not calling to help you. They're calling to protect their bottom line.
At Catalyst Lawyers, we know exactly what you're going through. Our lead attorney, Bill Sherwood, has been in 25 accidents himself. He's dealt with the shock, the pain, the insurance adjusters, and the frustrating fight for fair compensation. That's why he fights so hard for every client.
We handle all types of car accident cases in Maryland — from rear-end collisions and T-bone crashes to drunk driving accidents, distracted driving injuries, hit-and-run incidents, and rideshare accidents involving Uber or Lyft passengers and drivers.
Injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident?
Rideshare accidents — whether you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, a driver who was hit, or a pedestrian struck by a rideshare vehicle — involve a complicated web of insurance coverage. Uber and Lyft carry commercial liability policies, but the coverage that applies depends on whether the driver had the app on, was waiting for a ride request, or had a passenger in the car.
Insurance companies for rideshare companies are experienced at minimizing payouts. We know how these policies work, how to identify every available source of coverage, and how to fight for the full compensation you deserve. If you were hurt in a rideshare accident in Maryland, call us before you talk to any insurance company.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Maryland
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you feel okay, see a doctor right away. Some injuries — like whiplash, concussions, and internal injuries — don't show symptoms immediately. A medical record also documents your injuries for your case.
Document the Scene
If you're able, take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's insurance information, license plate, and contact details.
Don't Admit Fault
Even saying 'I'm sorry' can be used against you. Maryland follows contributory negligence rules — if you're found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation.
Don't Talk to the Other Driver's Insurance
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim. Politely decline to give a recorded statement until you've spoken with an attorney.
