Washington D.C. Catastrophic Injury Attorney

Obtaining Fair and Just Compensation for People Who Have Suffered Serious Injuries

If you or a loved one became injured because of negligence — whether it is another driver, a building owner, a medical professional or some other wrongdoer — the law allows you to seek money damages. The sooner you take action to protect your rights, the more likely it is that we can preserve necessary evidence, interview essential witnesses, and otherwise begin to prepare the case.

The attorneys at Schultz & Trombly, P.L.L.C. have been helping injured people in Washington, DC, Maryland, and other jurisdictions for more than 30 years. We focus our law practice on representing people who have suffered catastrophic injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injury, burns and amputations.

Our record of successful settlements and verdicts has earned our firm the recognition of our peers. During their years of practice, both Daniel E. Schultz and Kenneth M. Trombly have achieved AV-ratings* in the Martindale-Hubbell peer review process for legal skill and ethical practice. Both are listed in "The Best Lawyers in America" for the District of Columbia and both have been identified by Law and Politics, a major legal publication, as being among the District of Columbia's "Super Lawyers."

Proving Your Injury Case

Regardless how you were injured — whether in a car or truck accident, in a fall on a poorly maintained property, by using a defective product, or due to the negligence of a doctor — the job of your personal injury attorney is four-fold:

1. To investigate how the injury occurred, who was at fault, and whether there is a legal theory of liability to pursue

2. To determine what insurance coverage (or other assets) might be available to pay you

3. To document and prove the extent of your injuries and the effect that those injuries have on your life, and

4. To document and prove your financial losses and medical expenses, as well as the expenses you will likely have in the future.

By carefully gathering the information needed to prove your case, we work to see that you are fairly compensated for your loss. Because we regularly work with experienced investigators, accident reconstruction professionals and board certified medical consultants, this allow us to tackle some of the most challenging serious injury cases.
