Major Personal Injury

Trusted legal help in Washington, Maryland, and Northern Virginia

As one of the leading personal injury law firms in the Washington, DC area, Karp Frosh has long concentrated on representing plaintiffs in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia who have been harmed by the intentional or negligent misconduct of others.

We determined years ago that it would be most effective to separate personal injury cases into two types—the relatively simple ones that could be resolved quickly without complex litigation and the catastrophic ones that often require extensive litigation.

Get fair compensation quickly in uncomplicated cases

For personal injury cases that can be settled out of court, our Pre-Litigation Unit resolves these efficiently so that clients can receive fair compensation quickly.  Partner Jeff Wigodsky heads up this unit, concentrating his attention on the resolution of car accident and slip and fall cases that need not be litigated. When appropriate, we actively pursue mediation and arbitration to get these cases settled.

This strategy has worked very well for our clients.  Jeff resolves hundreds of cases every year in a fast and fair manner.  If Jeff is unable to resolve your case through these methods, it is transferred to one of our firm's experienced litigators.  Our litigators are very strong advocates for your case in court.  They include past presidents of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan DC and recipients of the Association's Trial Lawyer of the Year award.

Comprehensive results for victims of catastrophic injuries

Our Major Case Unit, under the supervision of partner Lee Norwind, handles cases involving catastrophic injury, including—

In these cases, the victim is likely to need extra care for a long period of time.  Our concern is that you receive compensation that will take care of the victim's needs for as long as necessary.  We consistently get impressive results for our clients—including million-dollar awards—in courtroom verdicts and in settlements.

We take special satisfaction in the awards we secure for children who suffer catastrophic injuries.  A young woman our managing partner Ron Karp represented in a malpractice suit when she was a baby recently came to work at our law firm as an intern.  She was able to graduate from high school and is heading to college with funds we secured in her case many years before.  Her goal is to become a lawyer so that she can help people as powerless as she was when we represented her.

More than half of our major cases are referred to us by attorneys who trust Karp Frosh to represent their clients in court.  We have co-counseled cases in New York, Chicago, Boston, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New Jersey in addition to our local areas of Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
