Types of Injury Cases We Handle

Every accident is different—and so is every family’s situation.

Whether you’re worried about medical bills, missing work, or what happens next, we know each family faces unique challenges. Our experience with all types of injury cases means we can provide the help you need during this difficult time.

DC Personal Injury Lawyer

When someone else’s actions cause you harm, you deserve compensation. Personal injury law covers situations where negligence, recklessness, or deliberate misconduct results in physical, emotional, or financial losses.

What makes personal injury cases different? Unlike other legal matters, these claims focus specifically on proving fault and quantifying damages from accidents or intentional harm. The key question is: Did someone else’s actions directly cause your injuries?

At Regan Zambri Long, we’ve spent three decades building cases that hold wrongdoers accountable. Our attorneys know how to document injuries, calculate true costs, and present compelling evidence that secures maximum compensation.
Your case evaluation is free. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we recover damages. Call today to discuss your specific situation and learn what your claim may be worth.

When tragedy strikes from the skies, lives change forever. Aviation accidents can devastate families in an instant, leaving victims with catastrophic injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and emotional trauma. These disasters often result from corporate negligence, maintenance failures, or pilot error that could have been prevented. Major airlines and manufacturers may deploy teams of defense attorneys to minimize their liability, leaving victims struggling for justice.

If you or a loved one has been affected by an aviation disaster, you deserve aggressive representation from our Washington, DC aviation accident lawyers who understand the intricate laws governing air travel accidents and who will fight tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation you deserve.

Car Accidents

A car accident can turn your world upside down in seconds. Beyond the physical pain, you’re probably wondering how you’ll pay bills, when you’ll feel normal again, and whether you’ll fully recover. Over 22,000 car accidents are reported annually in the DC metro area. Many of these accidents result in catastrophic injuries, which can have a serious impact on an injury victim’s life. You could be facing thousands of dollars in medical bills, extended recovery time away from work, physical pain, and emotional trauma. Most Washington DC auto accidents result from driver negligence – texting while driving, drunk driving, fatigued driving, or reckless behavior behind the wheel.

Insurance adjusters have one goal: to minimize your settlement. Their initial offer might seem tempting when you’re struggling with medical expenses and unable to work. But accepting too quickly could cost you thousands. Our experienced DC car accident attorneys have secured millions for DMV-area injury victims over four decades. We understand the tactics insurance companies use and aren’t afraid to take your case to trial in DC Superior Court when necessary.

Even if you are unsure about your car accident case, call our DC injury team today for a free consultation. We will answer any questions and help you understand how much your case is truly worth.

Because of their size, commercial truck accidents in the DC Metro area cause some of the most devastating injuries on our roadways. I-95, I-295, and the Capital Beltway are some of the busiest highways in the region for truck traffic, especially during rush hour. When an 80,000-pound semi truck collides with a car, motorcyclist, or pedestrian, the consequences are always devastating. A truck accident victim often faces catastrophic injuries that require extensive medical treatment and permanent disabilities. An injury victim could face hundreds of thousands of medical expenses alone.

Truck accidents are incredibly complex. There may be multiple parties responsible for your truck crash. Federal and local trucking regulations may have been violated, and the trucking company can easily make critical evidence disappear. Insurance companies will hire powerful attorneys to prove that you share some of the responsibility for the accident. You need your own powerful truck accident team on your side.

As one of the few specialized truck accident law firms serving Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, our DC truck crash lawyers bring unmatched expertise to your case. We have decades of experience handling commercial vehicle claims in DC courts. We have in-depth knowledge of the FMCSA regulations, and we know how to get the evidence needed to prove who is at fault for your trucking accident case. Call today to start the personal injury claim process.

When the doctors you trusted let you down, it feels like a double betrayal—you’re hurt, and the people who were supposed to help you caused more harm. A healthcare provider’s mistake can mean months of additional treatment, more medical bills, and recovery time you shouldn’t have to endure.

Medical malpractice cases in Washington, DC, require specialized knowledge. They often involve complex medical documentation and strict filing deadlines. Medical experts must demonstrate that the standard of care was breached.

With a former registered nurse on our team, we can establish that a mistake was made due to the healthcare provider’s negligence.

The Metrorail and Metrobus systems serve hundreds of thousands of passengers daily across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

How Our DC Injury Attorneys Work

Personal injury law has many rules, deadlines, and steps that can feel overwhelming when you’re already dealing with an injury. One missed deadline or incomplete paperwork can hurt your case, but you shouldn’t have to worry about that while you’re trying to heal.

Our attorneys handle all the legal details so you don’t have to. We’ll walk you through each step and explain what’s happening in simple terms. You’ll always know where your case stands and what comes next.

We stay in regular contact throughout your case. You can call your lawyer directly whenever you have questions or concerns. Our job is to handle the legal work so you can focus on getting better and taking care of your family.

How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Protect Your Lawsuit

Insurance companies have one goal: to pay you as little as possible. They’ll call asking for recorded statements, pressure you to sign medical releases, or make quick settlement offers before you understand how badly you’re hurt. These tactics work when people don’t have experienced legal help.

We know exactly how the insurance adjusters operate. We gather the evidence and calculate what your case is truly worth—not just your current medical bills, but future treatment costs, lost income, and compensation for what you’ve endured.

When the insurance carriers try to offer less than you deserve or delay your claim, we present them with clear proof of why they need to pay fair compensation. If they still refuse to be reasonable, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.

Car Accident Claims in Washington, DC

One example of a personal injury claim that Regan Zambri Long handles is auto accidents. Many people don’t realize that a severe injury may not show until days after a car accident. You may feel fine right after the crash, but a few days later, you could be experiencing severe pain.

The Losses DC Injury Victims Can Face Following a Car Crash

Car accident victims in DC, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, often deal with catastrophic injuries such as:

These injuries are expensive and can take weeks, if not months, to recover. You may face surgery, hospital stays, medications, costly medical equipment, and physical therapy. In some cases, you may have permanent injuries that require long-term care with expensive medical treatment in the future.

Your injuries from the car accident will result in other types of losses. You may miss work as you recover from your injuries, for example. In some cases, if you suffered permanent injuries, you may not be able to return to work.

A DC car crash can also affect your mental and emotional health, resulting in anxiety, PTSD, and depression. You may no longer enjoy daily activities or have intimate issues with your partner.

In other cases, you may not be the injury victim but a family member picking up the pieces after your loved one has died in a car crash. Family members will have to deal with funeral and burial costs on top of grieving their unexpected loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law

What Is Contributory Negligence in DC?

Contributory negligence is a legal doctrine that prevents you from recovering any compensation if you were found even partially at fault for the accident. For example, if you were in a car accident with a drunk driver but you were speeding at the time of the accident, your insurer may say you are partly to blame for the accident, barring you from recovery. Because it’s a strict rule, it’s in your best interest to hire a personal injury lawyer to prove the accident wasn’t your fault.

Will My Personal Injury Lawsuit Go to Trial?

Your personal injury case may go to trial if the following conditions are met:
  • The insurance company is blaming you for the accident
  • The settlement offer is unfair or doesn’t cover all your expenses
  • There is more than one party that is at fault for your accident
Having a trial-ready lawyer will strengthen your case and shows insurance companies that you are prepared to fight.

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There is no set timeline for a personal injury case. Some cases can be resolved within a few months, whereas others can take a year or two. It all depends on how severe your injuries are, how quickly fault is determined, and whether your case will be heading to trial.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Washington, DC?

After a car accident in DC, you first need to make sure everyone is ok. Then call 911 immediately and let them know you were in a car crash and injuries were involved. If you can, move your car to the side of the road. You will also need to do the following:
  • Get contact information of the other drivers, passengers, and witnesses
  • Take photos and videos of the accident scene, along with the damage to your vehicle and your injuries
  • Provide only facts to the police officer, not opinions
  • Go to the hospital immediately to get checked out, even if you feel fine
  • Talk to a DC car accident lawyer

Is There a Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Claim in Dc?

Yes, there is a time limit on personal injury cases. This is known as the statute of limitations. In most personal injury cases in DC, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Since missing the deadline could mean losing your right to compensation, it’s best to speak with a qualified personal injury lawyer at Regan Zambri Long as soon as possible after an accident.

How Much is My Personal Injury Case Worth in DC?

No two personal injury cases are alike, so it’s difficult to give an exact value of what your case is worth without knowing the specifics of your case. The value of your case can vary, depending on the severity of your injuries and the complex nature of your claim. If you’ve been injured, the best way to understand what your case may be worth is to contact our experienced personal injury attorneys. We can evaluate your situation and help you understand what types of compensation may be available to you.
