Car Accident Attorneys

Car accidents occur every day in metropolitan Washington, D.C., usually because of driver error. For example, over 90 percent of crashes in Maryland are caused by driver error, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.

It’s no secret that car accidents injure people, sometimes seriously or even fatally. The law holds careless drivers accountable, and allows injured drivers and passengers full and fair compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Car crash facts

Drivers on the streets, roads and highways of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. are making mistakes behind the wheel every day, causing car accidents and injuries.

• They are distracted by texting or speaking on cell phone.
• They drive too aggressively, or too fast.
• They drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• They ignore the rules of the road, running traffic lights, turning abruptly into incoming traffic, or crossing over a double yellow line.

While the reasons may vary, the negligent operation of a motor vehicle that causes injuries is a legal cause of action.

I have been in a car accident. Do I have a legal cause of action?

A personal injury lawsuit is based on the law of negligence. A car operator is negligent if he or she fails to operate a car in a reasonably safe manner under the circumstances, and causes an accident that injures others (driver or passenger in another car, a bicyclist, a motorcyclist, or a pedestrian).

Car accidents cause a wide range of injuries, from catastrophic (paralysis, burns, loss of limb, severe fractures) to minor sprains and strains (whiplash and soft tissue injuries). If you have been injured in a car accident caused by someone else, you are entitled to money for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the accident.

While each personal injury case is unique, the monetary value is higher for cases involving more severe injuries and longer recovery times.
