The Reality After a Crash
The insurance company is not on your side — even your own.
Within days of an accident, adjusters may call asking for a recorded statement, push a quick settlement, or suggest you were partly to blame. In Maryland, that last point is especially dangerous: under the state's contributory negligence rule, being found even slightly at fault can wipe out your claim entirely. A quick check sent before you know the full extent of your injuries is rarely what your case is actually worth.
Cases We Handle
Types of auto accident cases we take on.
Every crash is different. What matters is who caused it — and proving it.
Rear-end collisions
Whiplash, back and neck injuries, and concussions from being hit from behind in traffic or at a light.
T-bone & intersection crashes
Side-impact collisions from drivers running red lights, stop signs, or failing to yield.
Head-on collisions
Some of the most devastating crashes, often caused by wrong-way, impaired, or distracted drivers.
Drunk & distracted drivers
Crashes caused by drivers under the influence, texting, or otherwise not paying attention.
Uber & Lyft accidents
Rideshare crashes involving layered insurance policies — whether you were a passenger or another driver.
Hit-and-run accidents
When the at-fault driver flees, we pursue recovery through your uninsured motorist coverage.
Truck & commercial vehicles
Crashes with delivery vans, tractor-trailers, and company vehicles — often with multiple liable parties.
Pedestrian & bicycle crashes
Serious injuries to people on foot or bike struck by a negligent driver.

Beyond Car Crashes
Truck, motorcycle & pedestrian accidents.
These cases bring added challenges — larger insurers, more parties, and more finger-pointing.
Truck accidents
Truck crashes often involve more than one responsible party — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, or a parts manufacturer. Common causes include driver fatigue, speeding, distraction, and defective equipment. We identify every party who may be liable.
Motorcycle accidents
Riders face serious injuries when drivers speed, change lanes improperly, or fail to yield. Insurers often assume the rider was at fault. Maryland requires helmets for all riders and passengers, and insurers may use that against you — we build the evidence to prove what really happened.
Pedestrian accidents
Distracted, speeding, and impaired drivers who fail to yield cause devastating injuries to people on foot. We review traffic laws for both drivers and pedestrians, gather camera footage and witness accounts, and fight back when insurers claim you were partly to blame.
Warning Signs
Signs you need a car accident lawyer.
If any of these sound familiar, talk to an attorney before you sign anything or accept an offer.
A fast settlement offer
Early offers often come before you know the full cost of your injuries and future care.
Requests for a recorded statement
Adjusters use your own words to argue you were partly at fault.
Blame being shifted to you
In Maryland, even 1% fault can be used to try to deny your entire claim.
Delayed or denied medical bills
Disputes over PIP coverage or whether treatment was "necessary."
Pain that shows up days later
Neck, back, and head injuries often appear after the adrenaline wears off.
Missed work and lost income
Time off work that the insurer refuses to fully reimburse.
Uninsured or fleeing driver
Your own insurer may fight your UM/UIM claim just as hard.
Multiple vehicles involved
Several drivers and insurers pointing fingers at each other.
What Causes Car Accidents
Most crashes come down to a driver's careless choice.
Proving it takes evidence: police reports, photos, video footage, phone records, vehicle data, and witness accounts. We gather all of it to show who was responsible.
- Texting, phone use, and other distracted driving
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Following too closely and unsafe lane changes
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
- Poorly maintained commercial vehicles and overworked drivers
Serious Injuries
When a crash changes your life, your case deserves serious attention.
Serious injuries come with serious costs — medical bills, lost income, and pain that doesn't go away. We make sure the full picture is counted.
Traumatic brain injuries & concussions
Head injuries can affect memory, mood, and work for years — even when early scans look normal.
Spinal cord, back & neck injuries
Herniated discs, fractures, and spinal damage that may require surgery and long-term care.
Broken bones & internal injuries
Fractures, organ damage, and injuries that mean hospital stays, surgery, and months of recovery.
What To Do Next
What to do after a car accident.
- 01
Make the scene safe
Move out of traffic if you can, turn on hazard lights, and check on everyone involved.
- 02
Get medical care right away
See a doctor even if you feel okay. Some injuries don't show symptoms for days, and records matter.
- 03
Call the police
Make sure a police report is filed. It's one of the most important pieces of evidence.
- 04
Document the scene
Photograph vehicles, injuries, road conditions, and signs. Get names and contact info for witnesses.
- 05
Keep your records
Save medical bills, receipts, repair estimates, and a record of missed work.
- 06
Don't give a recorded statement
Avoid recorded statements or signing anything from the other driver's insurer before talking to an attorney.
- 07
Notify your own insurer
Report the crash to your insurance company — but don't accept an early settlement.

What To Expect
How a car accident case usually unfolds.
Many car accident claims settle without going to trial. Others need to be filed in court. We'll tell you honestly which path your case is on.
Investigation & claim
- • Free consultation and case evaluation
- • Gathering the police report, photos, video, and witness statements
- • Collecting medical records and documenting your treatment
- • Handling all calls with the insurance companies

Compensation
What you may be able to recover.
Every case is different, and no attorney can guarantee an outcome. Car accident victims have recovered compensation for categories like the following:
- Emergency, hospital, and medical bills
- Future medical treatment and therapy
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and reduced quality of life
- Permanent injury and disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages, where applicable
- Punitive damages, in cases of especially reckless conduct
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case turns on its specific facts.
When I spoke to Mr. Zaveri about my case, he was knowledgeable and reassured me that he would fight for me. I hired him without having to look any further. He helped me win my case. So happy I found him — I definitely recommend his legal services.
Great job! I felt supported and heard by both Krishan and his staff. They always go the extra mile to take care of their clients. Would recommend Zaveri Law Firm to anyone who wants dependable and trustworthy work.
I highly recommend Mr. Zaveri. He worked diligently on my case. He was professional and caring throughout the entire process. He is knowledgeable and holds great values — respected, kind, and generous with his time.
Common Questions
What crash victims ask us most.
Statute of Limitations
In Maryland, you generally have 3 years to file — but evidence disappears in days.
Surveillance and dash-cam footage gets overwritten, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses forget. Claims involving government vehicles can have much shorter notice deadlines. The sooner we start, the stronger your case.
Free, Confidential Case Review
You didn't cause this crash. You shouldn't pay for it.
Answer a couple of quick questions and we'll connect you with an attorney from our team — usually the same day. There is no cost to speak with us, and no obligation.
