Question 1

What should I do right after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

First, make sure you are safe, then call 911 if there are any injuries. Exchange contact and insurance info with the other driver, take photos of the scene, and get a copy of the police report if possible. Even if you feel okay, seeing a doctor is recommended. Once you are safe and stable, please reach out to a personal injury lawyer and we can guide you through the next steps.

Question 2

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Accepted Answer

With TL Law Firm, there is no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case.  It is a risk free way to get legal help.

Question 3

Should I talk to an insurance company without a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend that you don't. Insurance adjusters often try to get you to say things that your case or accept less than you deserve. Let us handle the communication. We know their tactics and how to protect your claim.

Question 4

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Accepted Answer

This can be tricky, that's why it's important to speak with a lawyer, so that we can investigate and push back on any unfair blame. Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia all follow contributory negligence, which is very strict. If unfair blame is put on you, you may be blocked from recovering damages.

Question 5

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

-   Washington D.C. & Maryland: 3 years
-   Virginia: 2 years

These deadlines are strict. Once they pass, you could lose your right to file. The sooner you reach out, the better we can protect your claim.

Question 6

What compensation can I receive after a car accident?
