Anne Arundel County is home to some of the busiest and most dangerous highways in Maryland, and car accidents are extremely common. There were over ten thousand car accidents in Anne Arundel County in 2018, and more than three thousand of these accidents resulted in a serious injury. U.S. Route 50 is perhaps the most notorious highway in all of Maryland due to the summertime traffic and the amount of catastrophic auto accidents. In the last 3 years there have been multiple deadly crashes on Route 50 due to drivers traveling the wrong way down the highway, and many more accidents on and around the Severn River Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The road is extremely narrow on these bridges, which often lead drivers to abruptly slow down without warning. This type of driving can cause rear end collisions, and when traffic is heavy there can be multiple cars, trucks, motorcycles or buses involved. Ritchie Highway, which runs from Baltimore through Glen Burnie and Severna Park and down to Southern Maryland is another busy stretch of road in Anne Arundel County that is home to frequent car accidents. Ritchie Highway or Maryland Route 2 is actually the longest highway in the state, and during rush hour or summer weekends can be one of the busiest.

In addition to Route 2 and Route 50, Interstate 97 is an extremely busy 18-mile highway in Anne Arundel County with frequent auto accidents. I97 runs from Baltimore to Parole, passing through Millersville and Crownsville. In the Glen Burnie area 97 has three lanes in each direction, but before bypassing Crofton it goes down to 2 lanes. This stretch causes daily bottlenecks that are responsible for rear end collisions and side-swipe crashes due to abrupt lane changes. Accidents on 97 and all other highways in Anne Arundel County can lead to serious or life threatening injuries. Even if these injuries are treated by competent medical professionals the pain and suffering can go on for years, and someone should have to pay if they are responsible for this pain.

"Thank you for all the time and effort that you put into defending my case. You were willing to fight for me when nobody else would believe my story, and you did not back down from the prosecutor. Another lawyer would have urged me to plead guilty, but you were willing to fight for me, and in the end justice was served. I appreciate everything you did and wish you all the best." Fred D.
