Top Car Accident Lawyers in Washington, D.C.

Get police to the scene by calling 911 (or have someone else call) – even if you think the accident seems minor. Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department will respond and make sure everyone is safe. They will also call for medical assistance to help the injured. In addition, officers will investigate what happened and complete a Traffic Crash Report. This accident report will contain information that will be useful when you file a claim for financial compensation.  

You could deal with the insurance company on your own. But there are several reasons why it’s a good idea to have experienced legal representation. Insurance companies deal with claims every day and have the advantage. There are many tactics they use to try to pay you less. A lawyer will be familiar with these tactics and how to fight back against them. Dealing with insurance companies can also be confusing and frustrating – a lawyer can deal them directly on your behalf so you can focus on getting better. 

All of these attorneys are based in Washington, D.C., and have a solid track record of getting results for people who were injured in car accidents caused by negligent drivers. You can expect dedicated client service and a commitment to helping you recover maximum compensation for the damages you suffered so you can rebuild your life.  

An attorney can investigate your accident to gather evidence, review the accident report and medical records, interview witnesses, and consult experts as needed. When confronted with a strong case, insurance companies often agree to negotiate a settlement. But if a settlement can’t be reached that meets your needs, an attorney can fight for you in court.  

If you choose one of our featured lawyers to represent you, there are no upfront fees or other charges. All of our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. You owe nothing unless they recover financial compensation for you through a negotiated settlement or a jury verdict. Their fee is a percentage of your recovery.
