  • Personal Injury

    Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the careless or intentional acts of others, or are injured by products that are defective in some way. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person's compensatory damages. Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured. They include, for example, medical bills, lost wages, and the repair or replacement of your vehicle. In some cases, though not frequently, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers (especially, for example, drunk drivers) and to prevent them from harming others. Our personal injury law firm handles a wide variety of personal injury claims for clients located in Metropolitan Washington (including the Maryland suburbs and Northern Virginia) or Baltimore (and its surrounding counties) including those arising from: -Automobile Accidents -Bicycle Accidents -Brain Injury -Burn Injuries -Construction Accidents -Dog (or other Pet) Bites -Injuries to Minors and Children -Motorcycle Accidents -Pedestrian Accidents -Premises Liability -Products Liability -Slip and Fall Accidents -Spinal Cord Injuries -Trucking Accidents -Wrongful Death

  • Wrongful Death

    Under the law, a wrongful death is a death caused by someone else's negligent or illegal actions. This might include, for example, deaths caused by an accident with a drunk or careless driver; an accident at work caused by the employer's refusal to follow safety laws; a medical professional's failure to notice a serious health problem or other reckless behavior. Depending on where the wrongful death was caused, the following damages may be available: -The loss of income the victim would have earned in the future -The loss of benefits provided through the victim's job, such as health insurance or a pension -Any expense caused by the death, such as the cost of medical care, a funeral, or burial -The loss of an inheritance you might otherwise have received -The loss of the victim's care, companionship, love and support -In some areas, the pain and suffering of the victim before death -Emotional anguish suffered by family members of the victim -Occasionally, punitive damages intended to punish the wrongdoer for outright illegal actions or behavior showing indifference to human life

  • Bicycle Accidents

    Our firm is very aware of the danger cyclists face from negligent and reckless motorists because attorney John Mesirow commutes to work daily by bicycle. We have represented bicycle couriers, bicycle commuters, as well as recreational cyclists injured in bike accidents by negligent and reckless drivers. Bicycle accident injuries can be severe and life-altering. You may have suffered a herniated or bulging disc in your neck or back, a brain injury, burns to your head, neck or extremities, have nerve damage or spinal chord paralysis, broken or dislocated a bone or limb, or even have lost the use of a limb. At Mesirow & Associates, we understand that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to get the appropriate medical care and make sure it is paid for, to make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, to make sure that your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your accident injuries, and to make sure that you will receive money for your past and future pain and suffering and other human losses. Our experienced attorneys will discuss your situation in detail, and go over the various options available to you. We will work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure that all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately. If the insurance company is unwilling to offer a favorable settlement, we will take the fight to the appropriate court.

  • Medical Malpractice

    Medical malpractice (also known as medical negligence) claims arise when someone is seriously hurt by actions of a medical professional. This is not just limited to doctors; nurses, psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, dentists, chiropractors and other professionals, and even a facility like a hospital or a clinic, may also be held responsible for medical malpractice. Medical malpractice doesn't just mean a mistake, although a mistake is certainly medical malpractice; failure to notice a serious health condition is also a common form of medical malpractice. When a patient or other person is harmed by this medical negligence, he or she has the right to sue the careless professionals and facilities over the harm that results. Medical malpractice lawyers Mesirow & Associates represent clients throughout metropolitan Washington (including the Maryland suburbs and Northern Virginia) and Baltimore (including its surrounding counties), such as those arising from: -Missed diagnoses -Lack of informed consent -Anesthesia errors -Surgical injuries -Delayed diagnosis -Improperly prescribed, dispensed or filled medication -Improperly prescribed, dispensed or filled dosages of medication -Orthopedic surgical injuries -Spinal cord stimulator injuries -Patient neglect and nursing home abuse -Unreasonable conduct of a physician or health care provider

  • Premises Security - Crime Victims

    Premises liability law holds property owners or managers, or both, responsible for violent crimes they failed to prevent, when it was reasonably likely that the property would see such a crime. When a tenant or guest is assaulted, robbed, raped or killed on someone else's property, and negligence by the property's owner or manager is a factor, the victim may make a premises security claim. They may claim all damages related to the incident, including the cost of any medical bills; any wages they lost; and compensation for a disability, disfigurement, pain and emotional trauma. In the case of a wrongful death, the victim's family may (depending on the area) be able to collect compensation for all of the related costs as well as compensation for their emotional losses. A premises liability lawyer can assist in filing a premises security claim involving crimes at any of these locations: -Apartment buildings -Shopping mall parking lots -Nightclubs and bars -Hotels and motels -Convenience stores -Fast-food eateries and other restaurants
