My name is John Yannone, I'm a personal injury attorney with Price Benowitz. Personal injury
cases are cases that involve circumstances where someone has been injured due to the
fault and negligence of another.
The type of cases that are included in personal injury are auto accidents, slip and falls,
workers compensation cases, product liabilities cases and medical malpractice cases to name
a few.
For 25 years I've represented the victims of negligence. It's important to have a competent
attorney to protect your rights because the at fault parties have the insurance companies,
adjustors, who are very experienced in protecting their interests.
Also in the District of Columbia there is a doctrine known as contributory negligence.
That is if you are 1% at fault you can be barred from having a claim.
It is important therefore not to cooperate with the insurance company, the at fault insurance
company by giving statements. Because they are looking out for their interests, not yours.
