- DUI/DWIOn average over 40,000 people are injured every year and nearly 500 people are killed in Maryland traffic accidents. The worst fact about these tragic statistics is that the vast majority of automobile accidents could have been prevented had the at-fault drivers simply paid more attention or driven with a reasonable amount of care. More than a third of all Maryland traffic fatalities and over 60% of all car accident injuries are caused by distracted driving alone. Other leading causes of auto accidents in Maryland include aggressive driving, drunk driving and speeding. When a driver is hurt because of the negligence or distracted driving of another, the Maryland car accident lawyers at Steinhardt, Siskind & Lieberman, LLC provide aggressive, focused representation to help auto accident victims recover the full amount of compensation available to them.
- Wrongful DeathNothing can make up for the loss of a loved one, but the simple fact is that the loss of an immediate family member most often causes a significant financial disruption to the family left behind. In Maryland, laws exist to allow surviving family members to recover much-needed compensation from the party responsible for causing a wrongful death through their negligence. The law firm of Steinhardt, Siskind & Lieberman, LLC maintains offices in Glen Burnie and throughout the state to help the families of wrongful death victims obtain compensation for the financial costs inflicted on them, and to hold wrongdoers accountable when their misconduct led to the death of an innocent person.

- Hit and RunYes, liability insurance is required by law in the amounts described above, but that does not mean everybody follows the law. In fact, over twelve percent of Maryland drivers do not carry liability insurance. What happens if you are hit by one of these uninsured drivers? In this situation, you can file a claim with your insurance company under your Uninsured Motorist coverage. Like liability coverage, UM coverage is required by law with at least the minimum 30/60/15 coverage amounts. UM coverage also includes Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage, which comes into play if your injury damages exceed the other driver’s liability coverage, and your UM coverage exceeds that driver’s liability policy. A UM policy can also be used in the event of a hit and run, or if the other driver leaves the scene without exchanging information.

- Premises LiabilityProperty owners in Maryland owe a duty to people they invite onto their property or who have a lawful right to enter the premises to conduct business. This duty includes making a reasonable inspection of the property and promptly correcting any dangers that are discovered, or putting up a warning until the hazard can be fixed. When a danger has been allowed to exist for an unreasonable period of time, the property owner can be held liable for any injuries caused in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Common premises liability claims in Maryland include the following...
- Property DamageCall the police. In any injury accident or where significant property damage is involved, the police should be notified. Wait for the police to arrive; it is illegal to leave the scene of an accident. The police will make a report and may take a statement from you. If you are prevented from making a statement at the scene of the accident because of your injuries, you or your attorney can obtain the police report at a later date and review it to make sure it accurately reflects the details of the accident as you remember them.
- Personal InjuryAccording to the Maryland Department of Transportation, over a recent five-year period there were on average 1,654 motorcycle crashes annually.

With offices in Glen Burnie, Owings Mills, Ellicott City and Annapolis, the Maryland motorcycle accident lawyers at Steinhardt, Siskind & Lieberman, LLC help motorcycle accident victims throughout Maryland through the difficult task of recovering compensation from negligent drivers responsible for causing the accident.
