The Importance of Hiring An Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer
After you’ve suffered injuries in an accident, or you’ve suffered the loss of someone you love due to third-party negligence, you may ask yourself this question: Do I really need a personal injury lawyer?
That’s a great question, and in some cases, the insurance company of the person or company that was at fault may try to convince you that you don’t need legal representation and that you can settle things on your own. But the truth is that no matter how simple a personal injury claim may appear to be, there are always complexities and difficulties that only a seasoned attorney can handle.
Dealing with an injury can be both physically and emotionally draining, and the frustration of a slow healing process can make matters worse. Having dealt with hundreds of clients in the same situation, we know how discouraging it can be to feel helpless and vulnerable during this difficult time. That’s why we believe that our expertise, experience, and knowledge of the intricacies of the law will benefit you.
When you file a claim after an accident, the other side’s primary goal is to pay as little as possible, and if it can get away with paying nothing, that’s even better. But we know the tricks and tactics that insurance companies use to avoid taking responsibility for the actions of their clients.
And to make you feel comfortable, we offer a free legal consultation to discuss your case so you can learn how we may be able to provide you with the representation necessary to get everything you deserve. Please call us today at 888-740-KING (5464) or contact us online to take advantage of our offer.
Experienced and Aggressive Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia
The Law Offices of Duane O. King
"There are bigger personal injury law firms out there that are staffed with dozens of lawyers ready to jump on the next case. But what you have to ask yourself is how much of a personal investment that attorney will give to your claim. Because the real value of a law firm is not how many lawyers are on staff, but how many of those lawyers are committed to treating every new client as if they were representing a member of their own family. The Law Offices of Duane O. King has been helping personal injury clients since 2007, and over the past decade, we have learned that people who are hurting simply want to be reassured that the attorney they hired cares about their welfare and will do everything possible to right a wrong.
As the head of the firm, I have made a commit- ment to providing individualized attention to every client that we represent. A big part of that commitment means being available by phone,
email or videoconference so that each client is constantly updated on the status of a claim. I also pride myself on providing service that is warm, friendly and reassuring. That is a result of my southern upbringing that was focused on always being honest, keeping your word, and performing your duties with a joyful spirit.
Clients of the Law Offices of Duane O. King should never feel as if their case is just another file in our records. Our promise is that we will make you feel comfortable and secure because you will always know what we are doing on your behalf, and how we will respond to the moves made by a defen- dant. We try to foster that relationship from the initial free consultation all the way through to the conclusion of your case, whether that occurs by settlement or through a jury trial.”

Stories behind the results
Our client was a passenger in a ride share vehicle that was rear ended by another vehicle while stopped at a stop sign. She immediately began experiencing pain and had to be transported to the hospital by ambulance. Following months of physical therapy and lost time from work, the insurance company offered a small amount to settle her claim, not even enough to cover her medical bills. The reason they cited for the low offer was, “There was little to no property damage to the vehicle she was in, thus she must have been overstating her injury.” Instead of haggling with the insurance company we immediately filed a lawsuit in Montgomery County, Maryland. At trial, the judge awarded our client almost 4 times what the insurance company had offered her prior to our firm filing a lawsuit. This case was an important win because insurance companies often attempt to correlate the injury that a person has sustained with the property damage that their vehicle has sustained. However, there is no direct correlation between injury to a person and injury to a vehicle.
Many firms pride themselves on the results that they get for clients but at The Law Office of Duane King we like to share the actual stories behind the results that we’re able to achieve for our clients.
Our client was a motorcyclist who suffered debilitating injuries while he was riding his motorcycle with a group of other motorcyclists. While riding, unbeknownst to him another motorcyclist had joined his group and struck his motorcycle from the rear causing him to lose control of his bike and crash on highway. The other motorcyclist never stopped and fled the scene. Thankfully a friend of his had just taken a picture (at a rest stop) of the motorcyclist that fled the scene. When our office presented a demand to the insurance company they balked, saying “Our client denied ever making any contact with your client and you won’t be able to prove that he did in court.” Again we immediately filed suit, and after a few months in litigation the insurance company settled the case for the six figure policy limit of their insured.
