Understanding Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian collisions, are a leading cause of injury in the U.S., with over 6 million crashes annually, per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Causes include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or defective vehicle parts like faulty brakes or tires. Lawsuits target negligent drivers, companies (e.g., for unsafe trucking practices), or manufacturers (e.g., for defective airbags). In Maryland, for instance, strict contributory negligence laws and mandatory uninsured motorist coverage shape claims, requiring victims to prove fault to secure damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Motor vehicle accidents primarily cause physical injuries like whiplash, fractures, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and spinal damage, alongside emotional trauma such as PTSD. There is no direct link between motor vehicle accidents and cancer causation, unlike cases involving toxic exposures (e.g., Roundup or PFAS). However, severe injuries can lead to long-term health complications, such as chronic pain or disability, impacting quality of life. Lawsuits focus on these physical and psychological harms, alleging negligence by drivers or companies caused preventable injuries. Compensation often covers ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and emotional distress.
