Brake Slamming and Road Rage: Who's at Fault?
In this video, we dive into the critical issue of brake slamming or brake checking in Maryland. Brake checking, often linked to road rage, occurs when a driver suddenly slams on their brakes without reason, causing a rear-end collision. While the rear driver is typically presumed at fault in these accidents, the scenario changes when the front driver engages in brake checking.
We'll explore who might be held primarily responsible in such cases and emphasize the crucial steps an injured victim should take. Hiring a personal injury lawyer is essential to uncover the facts, speak with eyewitnesses, coordinate with officers, and gather video evidence to build a strong case.
If you've been involved in a serious injury motor vehicle accident due to brake checking or any other type of road rage, this video will provide you with valuable insights on how to navigate your case in Maryland. .

Transcript:
What is brake slamming or brake checking in Maryland, and who is at fault for a motor vehicle accident involving brake checking or brake slamming? Brake checking or brake slamming usually involved in road rage, is when a motorist who was operating a car directly in front of somebody else, negligently slams on their brake for no reason, causing a rear end accident.
Now, in Maryland and in all of the other states, involving rear end accidents the person in the back is usually presumed that fault. That person has to look out and give a safe distance between their car and the car directly in front of them. However, when the person in front of them engages in brake slamming or brake checking, that person could probably be deemed primarily at fault.
The injured victim, if they ended up rear ending the person who did the break slamming, needs to immediately get a personal injury lawyer to represent them and uncover the facts, speak to eyewitnesses, speak to the officer, get video surveillance if they can, in order to prove their case.
If you have any questions regarding how an injured victim can bring a serious injury motor vehicle accident case in the state of Maryland, feel free to call me. I do this every single day and would love to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

    I unfortunately got into a car accident that was through no fault of my own, and I unfortunately am so unlucky to live in North Carolina, 1 of 4 states to still use Contributory Negligence for a complete defense for a defendant that would've been punished if it were Comparative Negligence. You want to know what the other side claimed? Of course, Contributory Negligence, oh but not like as in I did something wrong or didn't do the right thing, they claimed I couldn't articulate that I couldn't avoid the accident. I tried looking for my dashcam well before the accident, I even asked my parents where it was, they said they didn't know, and unfortunately the day I was going to buy a dashcam after work was the day I got seriously injured, and my medical bills are $300,000+, and the other side offered $150,000. Unfortunately, the crash severely impacted my memory, and without a dashcam, i'm basically screwed. This accident happened back in July 19th of 2021, and still to this day NC falls under Contributory Negligence, which is completely screwed up because it favors the defendant and insurance companies to deny claims and basically say oh the plaintiff should've been more careful, they're wasting everyone's time with this crap lawsuit! I sure hope one day Alabama, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC all get rid of Contributory Negligence, because it's not good for the victims, because it basically says you're not a victim and that you did it to yourself, it might as well say you was 100% at fault because you wind up paying 100% of it if you don't settle and you inevitably lose at trial.

Always remember - eyewitness statement / testimony is evidence you can actually use in court, and police officer testimony / police reports is evidence you CANNOT use in court. You should certainly consult a lawyer about your accident case.

    1. Call the Police, both drivers should wait for them to arrive and file the TA report. 2. Photograph the accident scene, damage to both cars, glass/debris fields. 3. Photograph the other driver and their D/L or ID, along with their insurance ppw. #3 is important because not everyone is honest, and some people will hand you another person's ID, or come up with some "alibi" saying they weren't even driving their car. A photo of both the driver and their D/L or ID is PROOF POSITIVE of who was actually driving and the ID they gave is legit or not. Or- you can wait till your insurance company comes back and says "the owner of that vehicle says someone stole their car, and they weren't the one driving" which immediately complicates the issue and makes it likely that the other driver's insurance will deny the claim. With no photo of who was driving you'd be SOL.

    Man, I live in Virginia, but it seems 1 out of 10 cars on the road are Maryland drivers and they drive like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- Like I get it, Virginia is speeding hell but man, Maryland drivers are another breed. You should frankly just walk into court and be like "Your honor, clearly it is not my client's fault because the car that hit him was a Maryland driver." The judge would practically be obligated to give you the win at that point.

    Video Editing is too low 👎👎👎👎 Edit the video in a good style. Add nice b-roll animation when you are speaking or explaining something. This will increase visualization. Put proper subtitles, effects, transitions, and colors in the video. Insert the B-Roll (footage and animation) very well because it is absolutely low in your video. Do all this and then see how the video doesn't turn out good. ⛰️

I told my agent that she had just got married the day before the accident and could her husband be in a grace period to add her under his policy and we checked we sure enough they paid me $4,480 for my totaled car under his policy.
