It depends on the circumstances. Maryland uses a contributory negligence rule when determining fault in pedestrian accidents. Under this rule, an injured person cannot recover compensation if they are found to be even one percent at fault for their injuries. If you were jaywalking at the time of the crash, you might struggle to prove you are entitled to compensation. For this reason, it’s crucial to consult a pedestrian accident attorney who can determine whether you have a case and the most effective way to tackle it.
