Hundreds of Cases Settled & Tried. Serving Gaithersburg Since 1999.
Founded in 1999 and located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Anthony A. Fatemi, LLC handles personal injury cases alongside its family and immigration practice. Our attorneys represent clients hurt by someone else’s negligence, and we work to seek to put injured people in the position they would have been in had the accident never occurred. Anthony A. Fatemi and our legal team have settled and tried hundreds of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, pedestrian accidents, and slip and falls, and we bring that experience to every new matter we take on.
Maryland applies one of the strictest negligence standards in the country. Under the state’s contributory negligence rule, a claimant found even 1% at fault for an accident may be barred from recovering any compensation at all. We work from the start of every case to protect our clients from arguments that could eliminate an otherwise valid claim.
We handle a wide range of personal injury matters for clients throughout Maryland. Our attorneys represent people injured in automobile, ATV, motorcycle, bicycle, airplane, train, and bus accidents, as well as medical malpractice claims and slip and fall incidents. We also handle claims involving professional negligence, and cases may involve a single negligent party or multiple liable parties: individuals, businesses, and government entities alike.
In addition to pursuing liability claims, we assist clients with the full range of related insurance matters, including:
Personal injury protection (PIP) claims: First-party benefits available through your own auto policy that can cover medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault
Medical payment claims
Underinsured motorist claims: For situations where the at-fault driver’s policy limits don’t fully cover your losses
Uninsured motorist claims: When the responsible party has no coverage at all
Automobile rental matters
What to Expect From a Gaithersburg Personal Injury Claim
After an accident, medical appointments, missed work, and insurer calls pile up at the worst possible time. Our team helps injured people in Gaithersburg understand their options and pursue fair compensation while we handle the legal and insurance details.
How We Build a Strong Case
Investigate the incident: We gather reports, photos and video, witness statements, and any available documentation.
Document your losses: We compile medical records, treatment plans, time missed from work, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Communicate with insurers: We manage adjuster calls, paperwork, and negotiation to protect you from low offers and unfair tactics.
Prepare for litigation if needed: If a reasonable settlement isn’t offered, we’re ready to escalate and advocate for you in court.
Compensation You May Be Entitled to
Every situation is different, but personal injury claims often involve recovery for:
Medical bills (current and future care)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Property damage related to the incident
Rehabilitation and long-term support needs
Don’t Let the Insurance Company Define Your Case
Insurers may push for recorded statements or quick settlements before the full impact of your injury is known. Getting legal guidance early helps preserve evidence, avoid mistakes, and help ensure your claim reflects the true cost of recovery. Because Maryland applies contributory negligence, an insurer that establishes even partial fault on your part may bar your recovery entirely. That is exactly why representation matters from day one.
Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Rule & What It Means for Your Claim
Most states use a comparative negligence system that reduces a plaintiff’s recovery in proportion to their share of fault. Maryland does not. The state applies contributory negligence, which means that if an insurer or court finds you even 1% responsible for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any damages at all. This is a higher standard than injured people face in nearly every other state.
Because the stakes of any fault argument are so high, insurance adjusters in Maryland have a strong incentive to establish some degree of fault on the injured party as early as possible. A recorded statement made before you understand the full picture of your injuries can be used against you. Maryland’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of injury, but waiting to consult an attorney creates unnecessary risk: evidence becomes harder to gather, witness recollections fade, and avoidable procedural mistakes become more likely.
Why Gaithersburg Clients Choose Fatemi Law
Our Gaithersburg office serves Maryland and the broader Mid-Atlantic region, and we bring a combination of credentials and depth that sets our personal injury practice apart.
Circuit Court Insight Partner Mariah D. Stover served as a judicial law clerk in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. That firsthand experience inside the court gives our team direct insight into how local judges approach evidence, evaluate arguments, and reach decisions. That perspective matters when a case heads to trial.
Supreme Court Admission Anthony A. Fatemi holds admission to the United States Supreme Court, a credential that reflects the depth of his appellate and litigation background.
Multi-Practice Depth We handle personal injury alongside family law and immigration. Clients facing overlapping legal challenges, such as an injury that affects an immigration matter or a family law case complicated by an accident, work with one team rather than coordinating across multiple firms. That continuity helps prevent conflicting advice and reduces the burden on clients at an already difficult time.
Accessible Representation We offer flexible payment options and a culturally aware approach to client service. Our attorneys take the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances, explain their options clearly, and work toward the best achievable outcome because quality legal representation should be accessible to everyone in our community.
