A Maryland Car Accident Lawyer Who Fights for Victims Injured by Another’s Negligence

Get a trusted personal injury attorney to stand up and protect your rights

If you’ve been injured in a car crash in Maryland or the Washington D.C. area, getting an accomplished car accident lawyer who understands the insurance process and knows how to fight back can make a real difference.

After an accident, you’re suddenly faced with medical bills, lost wages, doctor and therapy appointments, and pain and suffering, not to mention the stress of trying to keep up with daily life involving family, work, and responsibilities. This creates an entirely new level of burden and frustration for you and often for your loved ones as well, who may need to step in and take on additional responsibilities during an already overwhelming time.

Our firm’s role is to help reduce that burden while you focus on your recovery. That means gathering the information needed to properly investigate your accident and dealing directly with the insurance company and claims personnel who may contact you and apply pressure over your case.

To an insurance company, you’re often treated as a number and a cost that affects their bottom line. They may push to pay as little as possible for your injuries and losses or deny responsibility altogether. They’re not on your side. The paperwork, delays, and back-and-forth only add to your stress at a time when you’re most vulnerable. That’s when having a personal injury attorney handling the process can make a meaningful difference.

For over a decade before starting the firm, Stuart served as a lead trial and managing attorney for two of the country’s largest insurance companies, defending claims and advising on how insurers approach injury cases. That background gave him a clear understanding of how insurance companies evaluate claims and how they work to limit what they pay to accident victims. He brought that perspective to his work for more than 25 years, helping injured clients pursue meaningful recoveries.

Stuart retired in 2024, placing his trust in Goldberg Finnegan Cannon, LLC to manage the firm and carry on his legacy of delivering meaningful results to injury victims throughout the DMV. The team handling inquiries and cases moving forward continues Stuart’s same approach, using their deep knowledge of insurance tactics to protect clients and push for maximum compensation.

Our team understands how insurance companies operate and, more importantly, how they treat injured people.

When you’ve been hurt in an accident, you may be dealing with an insurance company that refuses to cooperate or simply downplays the impact your injury has had on your life. You may run into hurdles they put in your way, including red tape tied to medical bills and treatment, vehicle repairs, claim forms, and lost wages, not to mention the pain, limitations, and stress that follow an injury.

Insurance companies may say “we’re on your side” or “you’re in good hands,” but when it comes time to pay, their priorities often change. Their goal is to close your claim as quickly and cheaply as possible, even when that doesn’t reflect what you’ve been through. They protect their bottom line. We understand how that process works, and we fight to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries. Get a personal injury attorney by your side every step of the way.
