Your Washington, DC Personal Injury Lawyers
Greenberg & Bederman is located 1 mile from the Washington, DC line
Are you suffering an injury as a result of someone else's negligence? Are you injured from a car, truck or motorcycle accident through no fault of your own? Why try to fight the large insurance corporations to make yourself whole? The insurance companies place empathetic ads telling us all how wonderful, and fair, and generous they will be to you. If they were smart, they would live up to their advertised promises and put us out of business. Unfortunately, the insurance companies often refuse to be fair in hopes that they will save some money. If they keep you waiting, they hope you will get frustrated and settle your claim for less. Some people think that if an insurance company tells you that is their final settlement offer, they take it, not knowing that they still have the option to go to court.
Don't settle your personal injury without your personal injury lawyer standing with you, ensuring that your DC legal rights are being protected. The large insurance companies have lawyers, why shouldn't you?
Recent 6+ Million Medical Malpractice Settlement
Robert B came to the Emergency Room with severe back pain and a history of an infection. He was admitted to the hospital and the diagnosis of a probable spinal epidural abscess was made.This is an infection that can seed in the spinal column adjacent to the spinal cord and requires emergency surgery. Mr. B needed an immediate MRI to confirm the diagnosis, but the hospital's MRI could not accommodate him. The hospital had no arrangements in place to obtain an 'open' MRI and surgery to repair the abscess was delayed for five days. Robert B became a paraplegic as a result. We were able to obtain a significant malpractice settlement in excess of $6 Million for Robert B.

Read about our Superlawyer, John J. Sellinger, who was voted into the 2008 edition of DC Suplerlawyers magazine. Only a small fraction of attorneys make the DC Superlawyers magazine. The process works like this. Lawyers were asked to nominate the best lawyer they=ve personally observed, and they were not allowed to nominate themselves.

What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when you are injured as a result of a healthcare provider deviating from the standard of care, causing you damage. In short, medical malpractice is professional negligence. Medical malpractice is a duty to provide good care according to the medical community=s standard of care. Any breach of this duty that causes you to suffer with damages, is a medical malpractice claim. A medical provider simply making a mistake is not necessarily a medical malpractice claim. To learn more about medical malpractice, please read our medical malpractice FAQ.
Have you been denied your social security disability, Long Term Disability, or Veteran's Benefits claim?
When you file your social security disability claim, you are anxious as you are disabled and trying to get well. You are worried about income and how you will pay your bills, and the layers of bureaucracy can be intimating and overwhelming. At Greenberg and Bederman, we know how scary it can be when you are denied your social security disability (SSDI), or Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI), or Long Term Disability claim. We have the experience to review your medical records and conditions, and compare them to the impairments as listed in the Social Security regulations.
- Do you suffer from a mental or psychological medical condition that prevents you from working?
Is there a medical record of your mental or psychological condition?
- Do you have a physical disability that prevents you from working?
Will your physical disability be expected to last at least one year?
If you have filed for Social Security Disability Insurance SSDI or Supplemental Security Income SSI and have been denied within the last 60 days, contact Greenberg & Bederman for a free social security disability legal consultation.
Many people have found that even when they were denied several times for social security disability, that once they hired an experienced DC social security lawyer their case was actually approved.
