Personal injuries can result from all kinds of accidents, from medical malpractice to auto accidents, product liability to premises liability. When someone else’s negligence causes an accident and injures you, you are entitled to compensation. Why hire a personal injury lawyer? An attorney will evaluate your case, help you value your damages and injuries, and negotiate with insurance companies and other lawyers to seek compensation.
Even if your injuries aren’t catastrophic, physical injuries and emotional traumas require time and money for recovery, two things that can often be in short supply. A personal injury lawyer from Regan Zambri Long will handle the legal process so that you can focus on recovery.
Whether the party liable for your injuries is a person, a company, or even the government, you can be sure that they will have legal representation fighting to pay as little compensation as possible. You owe it to yourself to seek a qualified and experienced personal injury law firm to counter the opposing lawyers and fight for your rights.
On the surface, your personal injury claim may seem straightforward. You may know exactly what happened and who was responsible. Proving it, however, might be a different story entirely.
A personal injury claim hinges on the legal idea of negligence— that someone had a duty to behave in a certain way, that he or she neglected to fulfill the duty, that the negligence caused damage or harm, and that you suffered injuries or damages from the negligence. So while you may know that your car accident was caused by a speeding driver who lost control, you must also prove it to claim compensation.
Your personal injury attorney will lead the investigation and gather the evidence to prove your injuries and damages were caused by the liable party’s negligence. Where necessary, your lawyer will arrange for expert witnesses to establish the truth of your claim.

Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, meaning that if you don’t file a claim within that given time frame, you forfeit your right to claim compensation. In Washington, DC, and Maryland the statute of limitations is three years from the time of the injury. In Virginia, the statute of limitations is two years.
Although those statutes of limitations may seem generous, time passes quickly. The sooner you consult with an experienced personal injury attorney, the sooner we can investigate and value your claim.
There is no real cut-and-dried timeline for personal injury claims. It all depends on the circumstances and facts of your case. After getting medical treatment and a personal injury lawyer, you and your experienced attorney will begin the legal process by alerting the liable party of the claim. During the discovery phase, both parties will investigate fault and negligence. This phase generally takes the most time. You may choose to seek a personal injury settlement during this time.
If a satisfactory settlement offer isn’t made, the claim moves to trial where the facts are presented. It is common for a case to take a year or two from filing to verdict announcement.
If fault and/or negligence is contested or difficult to prove, the investigation may take longer or the case may have to go to trial because a fair settlement cannot be reached. You may also have multiple claims against multiple parties. For example, if a negligent driver causes an accident on a stretch of highway that was neglected, accident victims may be able to file a claim against the driver and the party responsible for the highway maintenance.
An experienced personal injury attorney from Regan Zambri Long will evaluate your case and bring claims against all responsible parties, whether individuals, companies, or government bodies.
Negligence standards can complicate personal injury claims, especially in Washington, DC. These three states follow contributory negligence standards, meaning if you are at all responsible for the accident you cannot claim compensation.
