How We Help in Catastrophic Injury Cases

Life can change in an instant. When a catastrophic injury strikes—leaving you or a loved one facing paralysis, brain trauma, amputation, or lifelong medical needs—it’s hard to know what comes next. At Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C., we help families across the DMV navigate the legal, financial, and emotional challenges of serious injury claims with the support, care, and strength they deserve.



Whether the injury was caused by a car accident in Fairfax, a fall in Silver Spring, or a workplace incident in Upper Marlboro, we fight to ensure your needs—both current and future—are fully accounted for.

• Coordinating with medical experts and life care planners

• Documenting long-term care needs, loss of income, and rehabilitation
