Causes of Car Accidents in Maryland

Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, but some of the most common causes of car accidents in Maryland include:

  1. Distracted Driving: When drivers engage in activities that take their attention away from the road, such as using their cell phones, eating, or adjusting the radio, they can cause accidents.
  2. Speeding: When drivers exceed the posted speed limit, they have less time to react to changes in traffic conditions, increasing the risk of an accident.
  3. Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can significantly impair a driver’s ability to react to road conditions, increasing the risk of an accident.
  4. Reckless Driving: Drivers who engage in reckless behaviors, such as weaving in and out of traffic or tailgating, can cause accidents.
  5. Bad Weather: When roads are wet or icy, drivers need to adjust their driving behaviors to avoid accidents.
