ACCOKEEK, MD – One driver died and another was critically injured after their cars crashed and burst into flames, the Southern Maryland Chronicle reports.

A man from Accokeek was driving on Farmington Road when his vehicle was rear-ended by another car. The impact caused the vehicles to roll across the intersection with Indian Head Highway and catch fire.

Officers responded to the wreck at about 12:15 p.m. Saturday.

Nearby pedestrians extricated both of the drivers from their cars. The Accokeek man was taken to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The other driver sustained severe injuries.

Paul and I worked on a burn case together. I was impressed with his knowledge in that area and the effort he put into the case. If you were a burn victim he is your attorney!
Great interactions, professional, seamless. The availability of both attorneys was phenomenal with questions with any concerns and transparency overall great experience.
Excelente servicio!
My mom recommended that I contact The Law Offices of Paul A. Samakow after an accident I was in, she'd hired them decades ago for an accident. They invited me into the office where I met my case manager, Justin, and Paul himself. They collected my information and asked me if I was okay and told me to focus on my recovery. They helped me find a treatment facility that was near my home and could provide transportation since my car was totaled and I didn't have rental coverage on my policy. Near the end of my treatment I worked with a paralegal, Vania, and ultimately Rocco handled my case. I was able to speak with Rocco a few times over the phone where he answered my questions. The provided me with a packet of what to expect at each stage of the process, 2 copies of a helpful book that I read over. a few times which helped minimize the amount of times I needed to reach out with questions. All in all my experience was very good, I did my best to trust the process since it was my first experience needing a lawyer and treatment from a car accident. While I hope I never EVER need their services again, I feel comfortable knowing that they're there if needed and will help me get the care I need and manage expectations for personal injury claims. I would recommend them and Paul's book to anyone who might need this type of service!
