In Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC, unlike some other
states, you have to prove that you had no responsibility for being injured. If a Judge or Jury is able to look at the facts of how you
were injured, and establish that something you were doing may have contributed
to the accident, they may not find in your favor.
With the prevalence of handheld devices and the use of
headphones on the rise, these items increase your chances of being injured
while out for a walk or a bike ride because they diminish your senses to your
surroundings.You may not hear that
vehicle approaching you, or someone honking their horn, you may have also forfeit
your right to recovery because you weren’t paying attention. If you’ve been involved in an accident as a pedestrian or a
cyclist you need an experienced attorney to prove you had no contribution to your accident.
