Greetings from Maryland, and welcome to our Maryland Injury Attorney Blog! My name is Jeff Butschky, and I will be your host and (hopefully) your source of practical help and information from within the Maryland Legal Community. Perhaps nothing affects an individual or family more than a sudden accident or…
Whether you’re young or old, summer sure seems to fly by faster and faster every year. By mid-August, Maryland parents and kids are scrambling to squeeze in as much remaining summer fun as they can, while getting ready for the 2025-2026 school year about to begin. Back to school is…
They’re the backbone of our society and economy: Construction workers; transportation workers; utility workers; and other tradespeople who perform their jobs, day in and day out, so we have the things we need. Not surprisingly, these are among some of the most dangerous professions, where deadly accidents can happen in…
Some of us remember a time when people got in their cars to go someplace, and they just drove. No cell phones to distract us. Sure, we ate snacks and fidgeted with the radio. But the idea of taking a phone call while driving was, back then, unimaginable to those…
