Car Accident

Traffic accident claims can be difficult to navigate and negotiate without the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer. Thousands of residents of the greater DC area suffer from automobile accidents every year. Many of these accidents are caused by another driver’s negligence or recklessness, like speeding or drunk driving. You cannot influence the behavior of other drivers. What you do when they injure you, however, is firmly within your control. Few people immediately realize how serious their injuries are when they are involved in a motor vehicle accident. Symptoms of serious injury do not always present immediately after the collision. Concussion, neck sprains, back injuries, and nerve damage may take weeks to detect, and require months or even years of treatment to heal. Even if you feel fine after an accident it is highly recommended that you have yourself examined at an emergency room.
