Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Re: Auto Damage from Sledding Accident

Assuming the person who had parked her car had not done so negligently (if she had parked illegally, for example) she probably could hold you responsible for the damages. Of course, whether she would want to make a claim on her insurance carrier is up to her. If the cost to repair the damage is minimal and if she has a high deductible which the cost to repair is under, her making a claim wouldn't do any good. In short, she could probably hold you responsible for reimbursing her for any of her out-of-pocket loss, whether that is simply her deductible or the entire cost of repair.

Re: Auto Damage from Sledding Accident

A motorist where damage comes upon the insured vehicle from an uninsured source may have to claim against his/her own insurance. A suit may need to be defended for a claim occasioned by a minor. If you should need an attorney for this matter, contact me at (410) 799-9002 and leave a message.
