Car Accidents
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia Car Accident Settlements
If you have been injured in a car accident that was caused by someone’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover monetary damages for payment of reasonable medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In order to bring a claim for damages, you should contact Karp Frosh as soon as possible after the car accident. Our Firm represents victims of car accidents throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and northern Virginia.
The vast majority of injuries from car accidents Karp Frosh handles are settled in negotiations between our Pre-litigation Unit and the responsible driver’s insurance company. This unit, headed by partner Jeff Wigodsky, resolves hundreds of cases every year in a fast and fair manner. The Firm has actively pursued mediation and arbitration in these cases as well. When Jeff is unable to settle your car accident case, the case will be transferred to an experienced litigator within our law firm for trial.
Car accidents can cause serious injuries that can affect your health now and in the future. It’s important to seek medical attention immediately following a car accident, even if you don’t feel injured. Serious symptoms of soft tissue and other injuries may crop up days or weeks later. The longer the time between the accident date and the date you first go to the doctor, the more the insurance company will try to reduce your injury claim.
It’s also important for you to consult an attorney before saying anything to an insurance company adjuster following your car accident. Anything you say to an adjustor could potentially be used by the insurance company to reduce the value of your injury claim. For more information about motor vehicle accidents, see our Motor Vehicle Accident Practice Center.
