Storefront Crashes: A Growing Danger to Maryland and DC Businesses and Customers
Every day across America, the unthinkable happens: vehicles crash into storefronts, threatening lives and destroying property. According to the Storefront Safety Council, more than 100 vehicle-into-building crashes occur daily in the United States, making these accidents far more common than most people realize.
The Rising Threat to Local Businesses
These aren’t just statistics – they’re real incidents that affect real people in our Maryland and DC communities. From small boutiques to large retail chains, no business is immune to this danger. These crashes can result in:
- Severe injuries to customers and employees
- Significant property damage
- Lost business revenue
- Long-term trauma for victims
- Permanent disabilities
Recent High-Profile Cases Show the Stakes
The severity of these incidents was highlighted in a recent case where a victim received a $91 million settlement after losing both legs in a storefront crash. While this represents an extreme case, it demonstrates the life-altering consequences these accidents can have and the substantial compensation victims may be entitled to receive.
