Personal Injury Litigation
A serious injury can change your life in an instant. One moment everything is normal, and the next you are facing mounting medical bills, missed time from work, physical pain, and the stress of not knowing what comes next. When your injury was caused by someone else's carelessness or wrongful behavior, you should not have to bear that burden alone. Personal injury law exists to make sure that the person or company responsible for your injury compensates you for the harm they caused.
At Justly Prudent, we represent individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of others. We handle every case with the same compassion and determination that defines our civil rights work, because we believe that every person deserves to be treated fairly—whether they are fighting for their constitutional rights or fighting for fair compensation after an injury. Our legal professionals work closely with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. We serve clients in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, Florida, and Massachusetts.
Let us help you understand your legal rights and explore your options for pursuing the compensation you deserve. Contact us today.
Types of Personal Injury Cases
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes are among the most common causes of serious personal injury. These accidents can result in broken bones, whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other life-altering conditions. When another driver's negligence (such as distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, or failure to obey traffic laws) causes an accident, the injured person has the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our firm helps accident victims navigate the claims process, deal with insurance companies, and, when necessary, take their case to court to secure fair compensation.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road because they have little to no physical protection when a collision occurs. When a driver strikes a pedestrian or cyclist due to distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding, or other negligent behavior, the injuries are often severe — including broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal organ injuries. Our firm represents pedestrians and cyclists who have been injured by negligent drivers and helps them pursue full compensation for their medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Slip & Falls
Slip and fall incidents often result from hazardous conditions like wet floors or uneven surfaces. We aim to hold property owners accountable for neglecting their duty to maintain safe premises, helping clients seek compensation for their injuries. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and legal needs.
Premises Liability
Property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors and guests. When they fail to do so (for example, by neglecting to fix broken stairs, failing to clean up spills, not providing adequate lighting, or ignoring known hazards) and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held liable. Premises liability cases include slip-and-fall accidents, trip-and-fall incidents, injuries caused by unsafe conditions in stores, restaurants, apartment buildings, and other properties. Our firm helps individuals who have been injured on someone else's property pursue the compensation they deserve.
Workplace Injuries
Every worker has the right to a safe workplace. When an employer fails to maintain safe working conditions, provide proper training, or supply necessary safety equipment, employees can suffer serious injuries. While workers' compensation provides a system for employees to receive benefits for on-the-job injuries, there are situations where an injured worker may also have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit—particularly when the injury was caused by a third party, by defective equipment, or by the employer's intentional misconduct. Our firm helps injured workers understand their options and pursue the full range of compensation available to them.
Product Liability
When a product is defective—whether because of a flaw in its design, a mistake in manufacturing, or a failure to provide adequate warnings—and that defect causes injury to a consumer, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be held responsible. Product liability claims cover a wide range of products, from automobiles and medical devices to household appliances and children's toys. Our attorneys represent individuals who have been injured by dangerous or defective products and work to hold the responsible companies accountable for putting unsafe products into the hands of consumers.
