Personal Injury

Maryland and District of Columbia Personal Injury Lawyers

Auto crashes, slip and fall incidents, and other accidents can lead to sudden, serious injuries. Costs, including medical bills, lost wages and property damages, can mount while you struggle to endure your personal pain and suffering.

If you have been injured in an accident, you may be eligible for compensation for some or all of these damages. The person who injured you or his or her insurance company may be liable for the costs you have incurred.

At Gilman & Edwards, LLC, based in Prince George's County, we help clients throughout Maryland and the D.C. area recover the compensation they deserve. Contact us to discuss your options with experienced personal injury attorneys.

Seeking Compensation for Auto Accident Injuries

Auto accidents are among the most common causes of personal injuries. Motor vehicles can be very dangerous devices, and people operating them have a duty to do so in a responsible and reasonable manner. We help clients recover compensation for injuries suffered in auto accidents, including:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents

We understand that you may have immediate financial needs to pay medical bills, repair damages to your vehicle or to cover your regular household expenses if you have to take extended medical leave from work.

But rather than signing a quick settlement offered by an insurance company, we encourage you to talk to a lawyer first. You may have other options available to you. We will work hard to get you compensation in a timely fashion while protecting your legal rights.

Helping You Recover From a Fall

If you've been injured in a slip and fall incident on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation under the personal injury law of premises liability. Property owners may have a responsibility to remove or warn people who enter their property of known, dangerous conditions on their property, especially when those dangers are not readily apparent to the eye.

Our attorneys can help you determine whether you have a valid claim, and if so, we can represent you in seeking compensation from the property owner or his or her insurance company.
