Wrongful Death Lawyer in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia

How We Help with Wrongful Death Cases

When a loved one’s life is taken due to someone else’s negligence, no amount of money can make things right. But pursuing a wrongful death claim can bring accountability, closure, and the support your family needs to move forward. At Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C., we approach every wrongful death case with compassion and tenacity—because your loss deserves justice.



Whether due to a car accident in Rockville or a medical error in Fairfax, we help grieving families across the DMV understand their legal rights and take action.

Building a Case for Justice and Support

We help surviving family members with:

• Investigating cause of death and liability

• Collecting medical records, autopsy reports, and expert opinions

• Filing timely claims for economic and non-economic damages

    In most cases, 2–3 years depending on location. We’ll clarify your specific deadline in areas like Upper Marlboro or Arlington.
