Washington D.C. Car Accident Lawyer

You’ve Come to the Right Place to Get Information That Will Help You and Your Family After A Serious Accident.

If your injuries are serious and you need surgery after a car accident, you’re in the right place.  Our car accident lawyers do things a lot differently here.

When you call, you will talk to a real live person at our firm – someone who can start helping you and giving you good information as soon as you call. Even if you don’t need a lawyer because the injuries are minor, or if we’re not the right law firm for you, we’ll still try to help you by giving you free information you can use right away.

One of the first things we will tell you is whether or not you even need a lawyer (our book has more info to help with that decision). You can order a free copy of our e-book about accidents so you can read it in the privacy of your own home – instead of dealing with all of the letters from lawyers telling you to hire them, the crazy TV commercials, and the 800 numbers – who knows what kind of lawyer you get from those?

If you have a serious injury that needs surgery, needs future medical treatment, and/or can’t work to feed your family, you’ll want to get started, or at least know where to start right away. Contacting us is the first step.

What You Need To Know After a Serious Car Accident in DC, Maryland, or Virginia

People sometimes say “accidents happen,” but with driving, that’s just not true. Drivers are violating the rules of the road every day. What happens when one of them hurts you or your family and you have to be out of work for a long time? You’ll need medical treatment, coverage for lost wages, and money for future treatment.

“Accidents” are really caused by drivers who choose to violate the rules of the road by choosing to text while driving, deciding to drink and drive, ignoring safety laws, etc. Many collisions are caused by drivers who don’t pay attention or shouldn’t be on the road at all because they are distracted, drunk, speeding, weaving in and out, not obeying traffic signals and signs, etc.

You want to make sure you are carrying good insurance so that you are covered even if the person who hit you is carrying only the legal limits. However, even when you are legitimately hurt by these drivers, their insurance company will be looking for ways to delay or deny your claim.

For someone who was seriously injured or for the family of someone killed in an accident, you get one chance to hold the responsible driver accountable. The other driver’s insurance company has no duty to help the people injured or killed – that insurance company’s duty is to its shareholders, to maximize their profits, not pay for your harms and losses – e.g. your medical treatment and bills, therapy, future medical care and treatment and lost income.
