Washington D.C. Car Accident Attorneys
Washington, D.C. and Maryland Auto Accident Lawyer
Car accidents can arise as a result of driver carelessness, defects in the design or maintenance of the roadway, changing road conditions due to weather and a host of other causes, including automobile defects. In all such cases, it is important for counsel to be retained promptly so that the matter can be adequately investigated before the physical conditions change, evidence is destroyed or compromised and/or witnesses have been interviewed by the adverse insurance company or otherwise become unavailable or uncooperative.

If you or a family member is in a serious car accident involving physical injury, it is usually not advisable to talk to anyone who is or may be associated with the individual that caused the accident. This would mean that you should not permit yourself to talk about the case or the condition of an injured party with a representative of the other party's insurance company. It is also important, in most cases, to obtain photographs of the damage to the vehicle in which you were traveling, before the vehicle is repaired. If a defect in the car in which the injured party was traveling (such as a defective seatbelt) is suspected, the vehicle should be retained in the condition in which it was left after the accident.
Particularly in light of the impact of District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and federal laws in many of our cases - given the unique nature of the DC metropolitan area - we are also keenly aware of the interplay between the various laws and regulations that can affect such a case and the choice of the proper forum for bringing the claim.
