Practice Areas
Medical malpractice representation is one of the most technically demanding areas of personal injury law. These cases require attorneys who can understand and evaluate complex medical records, identify deviations from the standard of care, retain and examine expert medical witnesses, and present technical information to juries in accessible terms.
Andrew Burnett’s background defending healthcare providers is directly relevant here. His years on the defense side gave him detailed knowledge of how medical institutions investigate, document, and defend against malpractice claims. That experience informs how he evaluates potential malpractice cases, identifies the strongest points of attack on the defense narrative, and prepares for defense expert testimony.
Nursing home abuse cases arise when elderly or vulnerable residents of long-term care facilities suffer harm from neglect or mistreatment. These cases may involve physical abuse, inadequate medical care, pressure ulcers from insufficient repositioning, falls from failure to supervise, malnutrition or dehydration from inadequate attention to basic needs, or medication errors. Maryland and DC nursing home laws create specific standards of care, and the firm pursues cases where those standards have been violated and residents harmed.
Nursing home abuse cases require evidence gathering that goes beyond medical records, including facility staffing records, inspection reports, internal incident documentation, and witness accounts from other residents or staff.
Personal injury representation covers the full range of negligence cases that produce injury: vehicle accidents, premises liability, product liability, and other situations where another party’s failure to exercise reasonable care caused harm. Suzanne Burnett’s award-winning trial record in personal injury cases provides the firm’s plaintiff representation with documented courtroom effectiveness.
The firm serves clients across Maryland and Washington DC, a dual-jurisdiction practice that requires attorneys licensed and experienced in both legal systems.
