What is my case worth?

Compensation depends on your medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, and the severity of your pain and suffering. We evaluate every case individually and will give you an honest assessment during your free consultation.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we recover money for you. There are no upfront costs or hourly fees.

What if I was partly at fault?

D.C. follows a contributory negligence rule, which is strict — if you are found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovery. This makes it critical to have an attorney who can argue the facts in your favor from the start.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Contact us first.
