Car accident claims and lawsuits are probably the most common type of civil tort case filed by attorneys today. Except in those states where legislation has been passed doing away with fault as an issue (no fault laws), car accident cases are litigated under general negligence principles.

A common misconception is that victims of automobile accidents do not need lawyers. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In addition to the damage someone can do to their own case by proceeding without the steady stream of guidance and advice that an experienced automobile accident attorney provides, insurance companies rarely offer full value to a car accident victim when an attorney is not involved, because the failure to retain a lawyer creates the appearance that the victim is not prepared to take the case to Court. Ashcraft & Gerel’s car accident lawyers represent a large number of automobile accident victims in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia (D.C.). Our attorneys take great pride in representing plaintiffs and never representing insurance companies. Our car accident lawyers are committed to treating each automobile accident case, large or small, with the seriousness it deserves in order to assure that each of our clients receives the compensation to which he or she is entitled.
