Personal Injury
Serving All Areas of Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the careless or intentional acts of others, or are injured by products that are defective in some way.
When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person’s compensatory damages.
Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured. They include, for example, medical bills, lost wages, and the repair or replacement of your vehicle.

- Maryland
- Washington, DC

In some cases, though not frequently, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers (especially, for example, drunk drivers) and to prevent them from harming others.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
John is phenomenal! His staff immediately took me under their wing and he truly became like family to me. A couple of years ago I was involved in an animal attack that truly changed my life. They maintained integrity and humanity in every way to properly navigate my ordeal. I cannot recommend this firm enough, hands down. Tiana Mapp

John is a gem and I'm tremendously glad that I connected with him. Wanting to put my accident behind me ASAP and minimize time and energy spent toward that end, I made the rookie mistake of attempting to settle on my own. I eventually reached an impasse with the insurance company but simply couldn't bring myself to accept their settlement offer. Drained by all the back-and-forth at this point, I didn't thoroughly research options (which is, ironically, a big part of my reason for not obtaining a lawyer in the first place - there are an overwhelming number of personal injury lawyers in the area!) and simply contacted the first lawyer from whom, simply put, I got a good Google vibe - enter John. That positive impression was immediately confirmed via our first phone call (for which he made himself available that very same day) and further cemented throughout subsequent meetings. John exceeded expectations in every metric, netting me over double the initial offer despite my less-than-ideal handling of everything at the outset. He answered every question I had with ease and honesty and was always available and communicative throughout the process. John is personable, compassionate, transparent, and very good at what he does! I can't recommend him highly enough - hope to never need him again but if so, he will now be my first text!
