When an accident occurs between an automobile and a bicycle, the cyclist will lose every single time. There is simply no protection great enough that can shield a cyclist from the force of impact which is imposed by an automobile. Unfortunately, there are far too many Maryland residents who have been on the losing side of auto-pedestrian car accidents, and the injuries they have suffered have left long-lasting physical and emotional scars.
What may be characterized as an occupational disease?
Every year, there are numerous Maryland residents who experience illnesses that they believe may be work-related. This type of illness would be categorized as an occupational disease.

Settlement reached in wrongful death suit after tram accident
Following the tragic death of a Maryland man in 2013, a law was passed to regulate the safety of cliffside trams. The Jock Menzies Act requires the registration of trams with the state and inspections every two years. Authorities are concerned because, since the law was passed last year, not a single owner of such a tram has registered. A wrongful death lawsuit that was filed against two tram-servicing companies after the death of Menzies was settled out of court recently.
