Dedicated Silver Spring Car Accident Lawyer
Last updated on April 10, 2025
Maryland law allows Silver Spring injury victims to pursue compensation when someone else causes a car accident. But getting what you truly need after a crash often means going up against an insurance company that is ready to push back.
I am attorney Elan Rafael, founder of Rafael Law, LLC. With more than 20 years of experience, I assist clients throughout Maryland, including Silver Spring, helping ensure they receive the representation they deserve against insurance companies determined to minimize payouts.
Crashes Happen Fast – But The Consequences Last
The roads in and around Silver Spring are busy and dangerous. Whether in Capital Beltway (I-495) to MD Route 29, Route 97, Route 650, Sligo Creek Parkway or MD 410, drivers face constant hazards. Speeding, distracted driving and reckless turns are daily occurrences; any of these can lead to serious injury.
I work with crash victims who are left with:
- Broken bones, back and neck trauma, or brain injuries
- Long recovery periods or permanent disability
- Emotional trauma from life-changing events
- Medical debt and lost wages
Maryland’s fault-based system means the person who caused the crash and their insurance must pay. However, proving fault under Maryland’s strict contributory negligence rule requires legal knowledge. If you are even 1% at fault, the insurance company can try to deny your claim. I have secured significant recoveries, such as a $1 million settlement for a client injured in a head-on collision, demonstrating what is possible with determined advocacy.
The Importance Of Lawyer Representation
Insurance companies prioritize their profits, not your well-being. Attempting to navigate this process alone risks undervaluing your claim or losing it entirely due to a misstep, such as an unguarded statement to an adjuster. With two decades of experience, I provide the strategic guidance needed to secure fair compensation.
