Maryland, Virginia and DC (District of Columbia) are among the last jurisdictions in which car accident claims and lawsuits, indeed all accident and injury claims and lawsuits, whether they are premises liability accident cases, slip and fall accident cases, construction injuries, or even dog bite accident claims, are still litigated based upon common law theories of negligence, with lawsuit defenses of contributory negligence and assumption of risk . Because Northern Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia are so close in proximity, with each being accessible to the other by automobile on only a fifteen minute drive, there are many occasions in which there are overlapping grounds for jurisdiction, giving the attorney a choice of states in which to bring a lawsuit. This is especially true in automobile accident lawsuits, where the car crash may have occurred in Maryland, caused by a negligent Virginia driver, with a DC (District of Columbia) resident as the injured victim. Ashcraft & Gerel LLP's accident lawyers often are admitted to the bar in two out of the three jurisdictions and are required to have a familiarity with the law in all three jurisdictions in order that we may make judgments as to which state is best in which to pursue a claim and file a lawsuit, where there is more than one choice. Although choices don't exist in all cases, our attorneys can often maximize the settlement or recovery for an injured client in a case by carefully selecting the state in which to pursue the case. The Ashcraft & Gerel lawyer assigned to your accident case has available to him or her the offices, office staff and attorneys in all of the other offices.
