When Is It Legal to Pass a Car in Maryland?
Personal injury lawyers in Baltimore can tell you some of the basic rules about passing, and attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you.
- You’ve got to do it on the left.
- You can’t in a no passing zone.
- You can’t do it if a hill or curve obscures your view.
- You’ve got to get back in your lane within 200 feet of an oncoming car.
It is illegal for the passed car to speed up, and the driver of the passed car must “give way” to the passing car if demanded by audible signal. In any event, passing is a dangerous maneuver and sometimes results in car and motor vehicle accidents. I have successfully argued on countless occasions that drivers who fail to adhere to these rules are negligent, and the cause of many accidents. Insurance companies are known to vigorously deny and contest cases. The largest insurance companies ofter employ a seasoned, highly skilled attorney to argue these laws should preclude the injured party from recovery. Many times trials are necessary to resolve the claims.
I’ve represented those hurt in accidents for twenty years. I offer all injury victims a no-cost/no obligation legal analysis and opinion on their case. I’d enjoy talking to you today about your claim. 410 591 2835.

- Baltimore Insurance Claims Denial Lawyer
For over three decades, I have battled against the nation’s largest insurance companies, always endeavoring to ensure my clients receive the compensation they deserve. As lead counsel in thousands of cases across Maryland, New York, and Florida, I have recovered millions for clients whose claims were wrongfully denied and delayed. Whether denying fair compensation for a personal injury victim or denying benefits to a homeowner, Insurance companies employ policy exclusions, technicalities, and lowball offers to deny and defeat claims. They also hire very good lawyers to fight you in court. So should you. When an insurance company unfairly rejects a claim, I stop them.
