Evidence & Accident Reconstruction in Pedestrian Cases
Investigating a crash may require a detailed analysis of where the pedestrian and vehicle were positioned before impact. Traffic controls, sight lines, and vehicle damage can all shape the investigation.
The firm handles collisions involving:
- Marked and unmarked crosswalks
- Intersections with disputed crossing priority
- Parking lots and residential driveways
- School zones
- Drivers who leave the scene
- Distracted or impaired driving
When technical analysis is needed, it works with accident reconstruction experts who examine physical evidence and other information to assess how a crash occurred.
Where Bowie Pedestrian Claims May Proceed
Antezana & Antezana, LLC. accepts Maryland injury claims, including those arising from pedestrian crashes in Bowie, Maryland. Depending on the incident location, parties, and status of the case, a lawsuit may proceed in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County.
The District Court generally handles lower-value civil claims. The appropriate court depends on the facts, the parties involved, the damages sought, and how the case proceeds. A claim may also remain in the insurance process without becoming a lawsuit.

From Evidence Review to an Insurance Claim or Lawsuit
The initial review examines the crash, injuries, available evidence, and applicable insurance coverage. It can identify the parties involved and the information relevant to fault and damages.
Common sources of evidence include:
- Crash reports: Information documented by responding law enforcement officers.
- Photographs and video: Images of the scene, traffic signals, injuries, and vehicle damage.
- Witness information: Names and contact details for people who observed the collision.
- Medical records: Documentation of diagnoses, treatment, and collision-related expenses.
The claim may first be presented to the at-fault driver’s insurer, which can review liability, coverage, medical documentation, and claimed losses. If the insurance process doesn’t resolve the dispute, the injured person may consider filing a lawsuit to seek damages.
Compensation & Insurance After a Pedestrian Collision
Maryland uses an at-fault insurance system. The responsible driver and that driver’s insurer may be liable for losses caused by a collision, subject to the available evidence, policy terms, and defenses raised.
Recoverable damages may include:
- Medical bills related to collision injuries
- Lost wages and other documented income loss
- Pain and suffering
- Other losses caused by the collision
An injured pedestrian may also have personal injury protection coverage through an applicable auto policy. This coverage can pay covered medical expenses regardless of who caused the crash. Its availability and amount depend on the policy.
Maryland Deadlines for Pedestrian Accident Lawsuits
Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Code Section 5-101 generally allows three years from the date of a pedestrian accident to file an injury lawsuit. Missing the applicable deadline can prevent a claim from proceeding in court.
Different deadlines may apply in some circumstances. When a government vehicle or public property is involved, Maryland’s Local Government Tort Claims Act generally requires notice within 180 days.
The deadline can depend on the identity of the parties, the type of claim, and other case-specific facts. An early review leaves time to identify filing and notice requirements before they expire.
