Auto Accident Lawyers in Washington, D.C. | Helping Auto Accident Victims

Trombly and Singer, PLLC provide effective legal services for clients in a variety of legal matters involving motor vehicles, including:

They can occur for several reasons, though they are frequently due to distracted drivers, intoxicated drivers, and speeding drivers. If you are a car accident victim, our firm can help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
  • Motorcycle AccidentsMany people ride motorcycles here in Washington D.C., as they provide fast, convenient, and cost-effective means of transportation. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are at greater risk of sustaining a serious injury in an accident, as they are far more exposed to their surroundings than other motorists.
  • Truck Accidents: Truck accidents notoriously cause a lot of damage. Trucks are bigger and heavier than all other vehicles on the road. Unfortunately, truck drivers are under enormous pressure to meet all their deadlines, and this leads to various types of reckless or dangerous behaviors. For example, truckers often drive while fatigued, and will sometimes take certain illegal substances to help them stay awake. This only increases the chances of an accident occurring. Additionally, trucks are difficult to maneuver, and the slightest miscalculation can cause a very serious accident.
  • Mass Transit AccidentsFortunately, mass transit accidents are rare, but they do happen.

Don’t deal with a government entity without our Washington D.C. auto accident lawyers on your side.
  • Pedestrian AccidentsWashington D.C. has no shortage of crosswalks, sidewalks, and other places where pedestrians can safely walk to their destination. Despite this, motorists will sometimes behave negligently and strike pedestrians as a result. This frequently occurs when motorists aren’t paying attention to the road or decide to run stop lights/signs.
  • Uber & Lyft Accidents: Though we’ve become increasingly dependent on Uber and Lyft over the last decade, these accidents are far from uncommon. Uber and Lyft accident injuries require the attention of an attorney who understands the intricacies of these claims and has dealt with Uber/Lyft in the past.
  • Victims of Drunk Drivers: We’d like to think drunk driving is a thing of the past, but unfortunately, it isn’t. In fact, drunk driving remains one of the leading causes of car accidents, and if you were hurt by a drunk driver, you’re most likely entitled to financial compensation.
