When a Domestic Partnership Ends in Baltimore.

This is an ever-changing society.  Commentary on this subject would have been non-existent in the past.  Domestic partners face similar issues to married couples.  However, it is important to know that they may not be facing the same legal issues.  The dissolution of a domestic partnership is equal to a divorce.  Benefits cease when a partnership ends.

Domestic partnership laws vary from state to state.  The process of ending a union of this kind is generally laid out in the initial domestic partnership agreement that was filed in that state.  In many cases it falls to the courts to decide the important matters of finance, family, and property.  These are matters that will affect the partners and any minors for the rest of their lives.

It is not your job to understand the domestic partnership laws in the state of Maryland.  It is imperative to find a Baltimore area domestic partnership attorney to represent your side of the case.  Attorney Briana Arnold will represent your case as with conviction. Call her today for an appointment at her Baltimore office to discuss your side in this matter at (410) 484-1400.

Pedestrians vs. Vehicles in Baltimore.

It is an ongoing saga.  People think they have the right of way.  Maybe they do, but a mistake can be fatal.  The pedestrian injury and death count continues to rise nationwide and Baltimore is no exception.  At last count our fair city ranked 28th in the nation in this category.  In the last 7 years fatalities have been steadily on the rise.

Many of the deceased pedestrians nationwide were subsequently declared legally drunk.  Let’s look at the laws of physics.  45 miles per hour equals 66 feet of travel per second.  This does not even factor in the time that it takes for a human to react on both ends.  Those ends being “getting out of the way” and the time it takes to apply the brakes.

Whatever side of the equation that you or loved one may fall the results are catastrophic.  While any pedestrian accident is fresh in your mind call Baltimore pedestrian accident attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will represent your case as aggressively as anyone can.  Call her today for an appointment at her Baltimore office at (410) 484-1400.

Divorce Law in the State of Maryland.

Marriage is a civil contract between two people according to the laws of Maryland.  A divorce therefore, is the legal ending of that contract according to the court.  You may not be aware that there are two types of divorce in “the old line state”.  One is absolute divorce which is a permanent termination of the marriage.  The other is a limited divorce which constitutes a legal separation and does not end the union.

When filing for an absolute divorce, an individual must set forth the grounds or reasons for filing.  Among those things that qualify are - a one year separation, adultery, cruel treatment, and even incarceration.  A limited divorce is usually the choice for people who either do not have the grounds for an absolute divorce, may need financial relief, or simply are unable to privately settle their differences.

If you are contemplating divorce, call Baltimore family attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will aggressively serve you and defend your side of the issue.  She will help you to get on a path toward a solution that you seek in your Maryland divorce case.  She is also licensed to handle personal injury and immigration matters.  Call her today for an appointment at her Baltimore office at (410) 484-1400.

Commercial Truck Accidents and You.

You are driving in your vehicle and out of nowhere a truck with a business name on the side of it sideswipes you and causes an accident.  Even if it is clear that the truck driver caused the accident, it's not always easy to figure out who is legally liable.  When is a company liable for its driver’s conduct?  This will go a long way in determining where to begin when you contact a Baltimore area car accident attorney.

There is a Latin term called "respondeat superior".  This is legalese for making the superior answer for the mishap.  Specifically, an employer is liable for the wrongful acts committed by its employees or agents.  Employers accept this responsibility as part of the cost of doing business.  They naturally have deeper pockets than the driver.

There are many other legal nuances that come into play when a company truck causes damage to your vehicle.  Make sure to obtain all of the pertinent information about the driver and the company at the scene.  The next step is to call Baltimore traffic accident lawyer Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will help you obtain everything that you have coming to you.  Call her today for an appointment at her Baltimore office at (410) 484-1400.

What to do Immediately After an Auto Accident.

No one wants to think about it, but on average there are more than 6 million car accidents on American roads every year.  There are some statistics that you need to know that may be eye openers.  More than 3 million people get injured due to car accidents, with more than 2 million of these injuries deemed to be life-alternating.

About 40% of car accident fatalities occur because of a drunken driver.  About 30% of the car accident fatalities in this nation are attributed to driving above the speed limits. Which, let’s face it, most of us are guilty as charged.  And a full 3rd of car accidents are simply attributed to reckless driving.  Here is a sobering statistic, in the age group 1-30 car accidents are the leading cause of death!

If you are involved in a collision make sure everyone is ok at the scene.  Note the specific damage done to EACH vehicle and take pictures with your phone if possible.  Get the license, the insurance, names and numbers of everyone involved.  Call an attorney immediately.  That attorney should be Baltimore car accident lawyer Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will help you to get on a path toward a fair and full settlement.  Call her today for an appointment at her Baltimore office at (410) 484-1400.
