Experienced Trial Lawyers Fighting for Maximum Compensation

While many cases are resolved at the negotiating table, having experienced trial attorneys significantly strengthens your position. Insurance companies and opposing counsel know which law firms have proven trial experience and which tend to settle quickly. Our attorneys bring decades of successful courtroom experience to your case, including numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts.

This trial expertise influences every aspect of our handling of your case. We prepare thoroughly from day one, anticipating potential court arguments and building strong evidence that will resonate with judges and juries. Our reputation for successful trial advocacy often motivates insurance companies to offer fair settlements rather than risk facing us in court. When settlement offers fall short, we have the experience and resources to take your case to trial and present a compelling case for maximum compensation.

Car Accidents

Car accidents can happen in a split second but leave lasting impacts that ripple through victims’ lives for years to come. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize claims or pressure victims into accepting quick settlements that fail to address the full scope of their losses and future medical needs.

Don’t go through the justice system alone, talk to a qualified car accident attorney at Regan Zambri Long.

Aviation Accidents

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 aviation accident lawyers who understand the intricate laws governing air travel accidents and who will fight tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation you deserve.

Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury is a severe, life-altering event that typically results in permanent disability, long-term medical complications, or significant disfigurement. Victims often require extensive medical treatment, ongoing rehabilitation, and lifelong care that can place enormous financial and emotional burdens on both the injured person and their family.

At Regan Zambri Long, our catastrophic injury lawyers understand the complex medical, legal, and personal challenges these injuries present, and we are committed to fighting for the full compensation our clients need to secure their future and access the best possible care.

Truck Accidents

Because of their size, truck accidents can easily cause serious personal injury and fatalities in a road crash; more than one party may be responsible for the accident. Such cases are highly complex and pose unique legal challenges that many personal injury law firms in the DC Metro area cannot handle.

You want an experienced team to handle your claim. Regan Zambri Long is one of the few truck accident law firms in the DMV that handles all types of truck accidents.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries can shatter lives in an instant, transforming everyday activities into overwhelming challenges. Even seemingly minor head injuries can have devastating long-term consequences that may not be immediately apparent, making it crucial to seek both proper medical care and experienced legal representation.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice, ranging from misdiagnoses to surgical errors, can cause severe and lasting damage; our attorneys are dedicated to helping families and victims of medical negligence seek justice and compensation for injuries or death caused by healthcare provider failures.

Wrongful Death Cases

While no monetary compensation can replace a life, a successful wrongful death claim handled by our attorney can alleviate the financial burdens of medical bills, lost income, and funeral costs, aiding families in moving forward after a loss due to another’s negligence.

Bicycle Accidents

Bike accidents usually result in major injuries that can take years to recover from. If you are injured in a bicycle accident in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, contact our bicycle accident lawyers immediately. Our attorneys will work relentlessly to help you secure compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, as well as other damages.

Metro Accidents

Metro residents use the MetroRail daily, facing risks due to poor maintenance and operations, and filing a claim for injuries with the WMATA demands a skilled Metro accident lawyer.

Washingtonian Magazine has called Patrick Regan “the Washington lawyer you call when you want to sue the WMATA.”

Product Liability

From food poisoning to defective medical devices, our product liability lawyers at Regan Zambri Long specialize in helping victims secure compensation for serious injuries caused by unsafe products.

Premises Liability

Property owners and businesses are obligated to maintain safe premises, yet hazards like insufficient lighting, uneven floors, and faulty smoke alarms can lead to severe injuries; our premises liability lawyers at Regan Zambri Long are adept at securing evidence and pursuing compensation for victims hurt due to such negligence.

Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse survivors carry profound physical, emotional, and psychological wounds that can impact every aspect of their lives. While no amount of compensation can undo the harm inflicted, holding abusers and negligent institutions legally accountable can provide survivors with access to vital therapeutic resources and a measure of justice.

At Regan Zambri Long, we handle these sensitive cases with the utmost compassion, discretion, and respect, ensuring our clients’ privacy while pursuing claims against individual perpetrators and organizations that enabled or covered up abuse.

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. 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.
