What should you do if you are in an automobile accident? What do you do after you receive a traffic citation?

With many people traveling over the holiday season, it is helpful to have information on hand for these and other situations. The Maryland State Bar Association provides legal brochures that are able to answer these questions, and are small enough to fit in your glove box.

These legal guides give consumers basic information about common legal problems, so they will be better informed when dealing with issues affecting their families.

The MSBA offers a series of 24 easy-to-read guides designed to inform the public about common legal problems. The brochures help people buy homes, file for workers’ compensation, understand complex health benefit issues and deal with domestic violence. The pamphlets also help consumers know what to do when you receive a traffic ticket, are in a car accident or if they are arrested. Information about when you need a lawyer, and when you don’t is also available.

The brochures are available on MSBA’s website, www.msba.org, by clicking on public resources. Anyone interested in receiving the brochures should contact Jason J. Zeisloft at MSBA: Jason J. Zeisloft, (410) 685-7878 extension 3028.
