Serious injuries deserve experienced attorneys

Maryland Motorcycle Laws Lawyer

Maryland Motorcycle LawsA Maryland motorcycle laws lawyer may be able to help you in the unfortunate event you are in an accident involving a motorcycle. Almost all accidents are scary to a certain degree but an accident involving a motorcycle can be especially scary because motorcycle riders and operators do not have a strong and protective structure around them the way car and truck drivers and passengers do. Motorcycle accidents are not just scary for people on motorcycles, it can be scary and traumatic to see the damage and injuries that motorcycle accidents often cause.

Motorcycle and personal injury laws differ from state to state. Maryland motorcycle laws are similar to the motorcycle laws of its surrounding states, but only a lawyer who is licensed to practice law in Maryland can represent accident victims in a Maryland court.

All motorcycle operators, automobile drivers, bicycle riders and pedestrians should know and follow motorcycle and other moving vehicle laws for the state(s) in which they drive. Motorcycle operators and riders need to be especially careful when they are on the road because if they get into even a minor accident, the chances of injury are high. Motorcycle accidents can cause anywhere from minor scrapes and bruises to broken bones, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and death, to name just a few of the things that motorcycle accident victims often suffer from.

If you have been in an accident in Maryland involving a motorcycle, a lawyer who is licensed to uphold Maryland laws, may be able to help you.

  • A motorcycle operator needs to have a class E license
  • A motorcycle operator must have proper insurance 

These are just some of the many laws that motorcycles and motorcycle riders in Maryland need to follow.

This was an awesome experience with Brittney Cassiere, Miriam Calisher, and my attorney Jill. What made me select Cohen & Cohen for my case, was my experience many years ago with Kim Brooks-Rodney. I definitely recommend anyone to use them. They have your best interest at hand.

I am very satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within less than a year and settled a fair amount in which I was expecting. They communicated very well throughout the process as well as made sure all boxes were checked off to ensure i received the best care and communication. I will recommend the services to anyone in these situations. Riley and Brittney were certainly very helpful during the process.

Lucas Baudry was my rep for this accident claim, and even though I had LOADS of questions and was a bit impatient, he was always responsive and quick to reply. We’re wrapping up now, and I really feel like he tried to have the best results in the end, and didn’t drag it out more than need be.
