Leppler Injury Law›
Who's to Blame in a Baltimore "Dooring" Accident? Ever heard of "dooring"? It's when a parked car door opens into the path of a cyclist, motorcyclist, or even another car, causing an accident. In Baltimore, figuring out who's responsible can be tricky. Typically, the law favors the moving vehicle. This means if you're riding or driving and a car door unexpectedly opens in your path, the person who opened the door is usually at fault. They have a duty to check for oncoming traffic before opening their door. However, there are exceptions. If you were speeding or not paying attention, you could share some blame. Or, if the door was already open and you hit it, you might be the one responsible. Accidents are complicated.
