A primary concern when filing a personal injury case in the District of Columbia is the concept of contributory negligence. This means that if a plaintiff has been negligent and contributed towards their injuries in some way, then the plaintiff may be barred from recovering damages from the defendant. Because every case is unique, whether or not contributory negligence will apply depends largely on the circumstances of each situation. This section discusses how a typical personal injury case would progress, frequently asked questions about the claims process, and personal injury laws in the District of Columbia.
