Introduction
Forty-plus years of personal injury practice in the Washington, DC metropolitan area sets the Law Office of Maurice I. Burstein apart from firms built around volume rather than individual attention. Located at 110 North Washington Street, Suite 401 in Rockville, Maryland, the office operates with a straightforward model: Mr. Burstein works directly alongside each client, forming a team approach to achieve the resolution best suited to that person’s circumstances. Staff members Robin and Monica assist with compensation matters and bring Spanish-language capability to the practice, ensuring broader accessibility for clients who are not comfortable conducting legal business solely in English.
The firm handles cases across the full spectrum of personal injury law, from minor soft-tissue injuries to catastrophic events involving disfigurement and death. Mr. Burstein’s stated priority is that clients receive prompt responses to calls and emails while focusing on their own treatment and recovery.
Practice Areas
The Law Office of Maurice I. Burstein concentrates on personal injury matters affecting individuals in Maryland and the broader DC region.
Car Accidents. The firm handles collisions across all types, from rear-end impacts to multi-vehicle crashes. Car accident cases require careful documentation of fault, insurance coverage, and the full scope of resulting injuries.
Medical Malpractice. Cases involving improper medications and procedural errors fall within the firm’s scope. Medical malpractice claims require understanding both legal standards and the medical facts underlying any alleged departure from the accepted standard of care.
Wrongful Death. When injuries prove fatal, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death claims. The firm represents those families through the claims process, addressing both legal procedure and the insurance dimensions of these cases.
Slip and Fall Accidents. Premises liability cases, including falls caused by hazardous conditions on another party’s property, are handled by the firm. Property owners in Maryland carry a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors, and when they fail to address known hazards or conditions they should have discovered through reasonable inspection, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
Product Liability. Claims arising from defective products, where a manufacturer or seller bears responsibility for injuries caused by a faulty item, are part of the practice. Product liability cases can involve design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings, and may require expert analysis to identify the specific failure that caused harm.
Negligence. General negligence claims covering situations where another party’s careless conduct caused injury round out the firm’s injury practice.
