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.

Most Washington DC auto accidents result from driver negligence – texting while driving, drunk driving, fatigued driving, or reckless behavior behind the wheel.

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.

Medical professionals take an oath not to harm their patients. When a healthcare provider fails to uphold the standard of care, patients face life-altering consequences.

Your life may be altered, and you will now have to face months of debilitating medication and treatment to rectify the mistake.

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.

The DC medical malpractice lawyers at Regan Zambri Long have successfully secured verdicts and settlements for patients harmed at major healthcare facilities in DC, including Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown, and George Washington University Hospital.

This comprehensive support allows you to focus on your recovery while we manage the intricate details of your legal case.

Insurance Claim Negotiations: Protecting Your Right to Compensation

Insurance companies employ sophisticated strategies to minimize their payouts of personal injury claims, often taking advantage of unrepresented accident victims. They may request recorded statements, pressure you to sign medical releases, or make quick settlement offers before you understand the full extent of your injuries. These tactics can seriously compromise your ability to receive fair compensation.

Our accident attorneys present insurance companies with solid evidence and expert analysis, providing a comprehensive picture of liability and damages. We calculate the full scope of your losses, including current medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. When insurance companies attempt their typical tactics of delay or denial, we’re ready with documented proof of your claim’s value. If they still refuse to offer fair compensation, our trial-ready approach shows we’re prepared to take your case to court to protect your interests.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law

What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

A personal injury lawsuit allows an injured victim to seek compensation for their injuries following a negligent act from another individual or business. Examples of a personal injury case include an accident or an intentional act of negligence. If someone else's negligence or carelessness injured you, contact our personal injury lawyers to learn your options.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Case in Washington, DC?

When someone else's careless actions caused your injury, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the person. For example, the at-fault party in a car accident had been texting before the crash. Because of their negligence, you can sue that individual's insurance company for any damages or injuries that occurred in the accident. If you sustained injuries in an accident and are having trouble getting compensation, it's best to speak with one of our attorneys right away.

How Long Does It Take to Obtain a Personal Injury Settlement?

Each personal injury case is different so it's difficult to say how long your personal injury case will take. One case can take only a couple of months to settle, while another can go on for years. It all depends on the case's complexity and how willing the defendant is to have the matter dealt with in a timely fashion. Regan Zambri Long will be with you throughout the entire case, keeping you up to date throughout the process -- from the moment we start investigating your claim until you receive payment.

What Is Contributory Negligence?

Contributory negligence is a legal doctrine that states if an injury victim is found to be even 1% at fault for their injury, they cannot recover any damages. Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland are among the only jurisdictions in the U.S. that still use contributory negligence. Contributory negligence is the reason why it’s important to speak with a personal injury attorney right away to protect your rights.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in DC Do?

A personal injury lawyer in DC will handle all aspects of your claim to help you recover compensation following an accident. Regan Zambri Long will investigate your accident, gather evidence, discover the full value of your claim, negotiate with the insurance companies, and, if necessary, file a personal injury lawsuit and represent you in court. By hiring a personal injury attorney, it will allow you to focus on your recovery without worrying about dealing with complex legal procedures.

What Are the Types of Damages in DC Personal Injury Cases?

In personal injury cases, damages fall into three main categories – economic, non-economic, and punitive. Economic damages include any monetary losses you have suffered, such as your medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover any intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life. Punitive damages, though rare, are meant to punish the behavior of the at-fault party.

What Should I Look For In a Personal Injury Attorney in Washington, DC?

When choosing a personal injury attorney in Washington, DC, look for someone with experience in handling the type of cases that are similar to yours and has a proven track record of successful settlements and verdicts. You also want an accident attorney who is well-versed in DC injury law and has relationships with expert witnesses to help bolster your case. You should have good communication with your attorney, someone who will answer your questions in a timely fashion and can explain the legal process in a way that you can understand. Finally, you need an injury lawyer who is not afraid to take your case to trial, if necessary.
