Whiplash and other soft-tissue injuries are among the most common results of Maryland car crashes, especially rear-end collisions in heavy beltway traffic. Though sometimes dismissed as minor, these injuries can cause chronic pain and require months of treatment.
Whiplash and Soft-Tissue Injuries
Broken Bones and Orthopedic Injuries
Fractures of the arms, legs, ribs, and pelvis are frequent in higher-speed crashes. Some require surgery, hardware, and lengthy rehabilitation, and may leave lasting limitations.
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
The most serious crashes can cause traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. These catastrophic injuries may mean permanent disability and a lifetime of care, and their true cost must be carefully documented through medical and economic experts.
Why Long-Term Costs Drive Claim Value
Because Maryland does not cap economic damages, the full lifetime cost of an injury — future surgeries, therapy, assistive devices, and lost earning capacity — can be the largest part of a serious claim. Settling before these costs are understood is a common and costly mistake.
