Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Price Benowitz LLP, is an experienced, dedicated law firm with offices in Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC.

Being held responsible for all of the consequences of an injury that was not your fault can have effects that extend to all aspect of one's life. Many times, insurance companies or those responsible for your injuries are aware of how expensive the care of your injuries will be over the course of a lifetime so they offer a settlement that seems generous but is well below what you should actually be remunerated. A DC accident lawyer can inform you of what you may truly be eligible for in terms of monetary value.

It is important that you receive the best representation in your case to ensure that you do not have unnecessary repercussions throughout your life as a result of a poor outcome in your suit. Our DC personal injury lawyers can save you time, money, and stress both throughout the trial and in your future.

A consultation is free so it will never hurt you to speak to our experienced Maryland personal injury lawyer about whether or not they can help with your case.

They can make sure that you have every resource available to you so that you receive fair compensation for everything that you have gone through.

- Traumatic Brain Injury

- Birth Defects

A lawyer may be able to help you with the following types of injuries:

• Cerebral Palsy. This is actually a group of different conditions that affect the brain and nervous systems. This type of palsy can include varieties such as spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic, and mixed. Delivery trauma to the brain can result in Cerebral Palsy, and your baby may have trouble with movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking as he or she grows up.

• Erb's Palsy. This is a type of arm paralysis that can occur during delivery. It occurs when specific nerves of the upper arm are damaged. While it is possible to reverse certain types of Erb's Palsy, oftentimes it requires extensive rehabilitative therapy, or several surgeries. Certain cases are ineligible for treatment, and the victims are left handicapped for life.

• Facial paralysis. Mistakes during delivery can also result in a child's lifelong facial paralysis. This can affect the way the child eats, drinks, and even speaks. He or she may not be able to smile because they do not have the appropriate muscle control, or suffered nerve damage at birth. Plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, and speech pathologists may all be necessary to help correct the problem.

• Other birth injuries and conditions. Each case is different, so until you speak to a DC birth defect lawyer, you won't know if you have a case or not. Many offer free consultations, so it costs nothing for you to determine whether or not you want to pursue your case. It is often worth it to discuss the details with someone who understands what you are going through, and how they can help you.

- Slip and Fall

If you are suffering an injury due to a slip and fall incident, you may be eligible for financial compensation. A slip and fall case or a trip and fall case is based on the legal theory of premises liability. Under this theory, a property owner or home owner is legally responsible for the condition and maintenance of their property. If the owner is negligence, careless or reckless with regard to their property, a slip and fall injury might occur. Some conditions that contribute to a slip and fall injury include poor lighting, damaged carpeting, a wet floor or stairs that do not have safety railing. While the injuries vary in severity, the type of injuries sustained by a slip and fall can include brain and spinal cord injuries, broken bones, contusions or at worst, death. A DC Slip and Fall Attorney can help you determine if you are eligible to file a claim against the irresponsible property owner.

- Car Accidents

If you are involved in a car accident in Washington, DC, seek immediate medical treatment, keeping in mind that some injuries, including whiplash, do not present symptoms until days after the initial trauma. Call the police and record witness statements, phone numbers, and addresses, and take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and injuries if possible. Notify your insurance company, and contact a qualified DC car accident lawyer for an explanation of your options. Your personal injury lawyer will not only help you proceed with your car accident litigation, but will help you avoid costly missteps that may jeopardize your chances of financial recovery.

- Truck Accidents

If you have been injured in a trucking accident, you may not know where to turn, or you may feel as if you are too small to take on a large trucking company. However, a skilled DC truck accident lawyer can help you fight back. Whether your accident was caused by a trucker's reckless driving, driver fatigue, unsafe cargo, improperly secured load, or inadequate vehicle maintenance your Washington DC truck accident attorney can help hold the responsible parties accountable for their negligence, carelessness, or recklessness.

- Boat Accidents

If you have been injured in a motorboat accident, personal watercraft accident, pontoon accident, or other boat accident, you are entitled to financial compensation from the negligent boat operator responsible for your injuries, loss wages, and more. If you have lost a loved one in a boating accident, you can protect your family's financial future by pursuing a wrongful death claim that can bring compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and more.

- Dog Bites

Each year approximately 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs, and 800,000 are injured seriously enough to require medical attention. The financial and emotional toll of a dog bite or animal attack can be difficult to bear. A qualified Washington DC dog bite attorney can help you reach a fair settlement to cover your medical bills, psychiatric counseling, reconstructive surgery, lost wages from missed work, and pain and suffering. If a settlement is not fairly reached, you need an attorney with the skill and expertise to aggressively litigate your dog bite claim.

- Social Security

Getting approved for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits can be an extremely complicated process. For the best result in filing your disability claim, speak with a DC Social Security lawyer who has the experience necessary to handle your case. A qualified DC Social Security attorney will help you with every step of the disability process:

. Social Security Disability Application;
. Request for Reconsideration;
. Request for a Disability Hearing;
. Disability Hearing;
. Appeal of Denied Benefits.

- Nursing Home Abuse

Talk to an attorney if you notice any of the following issues in your loved one's long-term care:

• Physical. This can include scars, marks, or bruises on a person, and injuries such as sprains, fractures, and broken bones. It may indicate that your loved one is being abused by the very people responsible for their safety.
• Mental. Abuse can be mental as well as physical. Seniors who are berated, insulted, or demeaned by nursing home staff have fallen prey to mental abuse.
• Emotional and social. Did you know that depriving an elderly person of social stimulation can have harmful consequences? Extended periods of isolation and seclusion may cause depression, anxiety, or a shortened life span.
• Financial. DC nursing home lawyers know that an increasingly common form of nursing home victimization is taking place today - financial abuse. This is when personal items of value, such as cash or bank account books, go missing.
• Neglect. Sometimes, abuse is more an act of omission than of commission. The term "neglect" can mean that your loved one is not regularly fed or taken out of bed, or is left with unattended personal hygiene needs. And neglect can be just as injurious - and deadly - as abuse.
