Gelb & Gelb, P.C. distinguishes itself by having every case that is accepted handled by personal injury lawyer Roger Gelb. Unlike most other firms, you will not be directed through a maze of paralegals and legal assistants. You can speak directly to Mr. Gelb at any point during the course of your matter. Paralegals and legal assistants work behind the scenes. Mr. Gelb represents people who need a Washington, DC car accident lawyer, as well as victims of dangerous products, medical malpractice, and nursing home abuse and negligence. We also assist injured victims with workers’ compensation claims. A personal injury claim may arise when someone is hurt because of the careless behavior of another person, such as a reckless driver or an incompetent doctor. These cases may also result from negligence by a business, such as a store that fails to maintain its property or a corporation that manufactures a defective product. Victims have a right to pursue compensation from a defendant whose actions resulted in their harm.
