Navigating auto cases across Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia can feel like driving unfamiliar roads—one wrong turn and your case value (or strategy) can shift dramatically. This two-hour live webinar is designed to keep plaintiff attorneys and paralegals on the right path by breaking down the critical differences in insurance coverage, procedural strategy, and lien/subrogation rules across all three jurisdictions.

We’ll compare and contrast PIP coverage in DC and Maryland with Med Pay in Virginia, including how each impacts early case handling and client recovery. Attendees will gain clarity on stacking—where it applies, where it doesn’t, and how to avoid costly assumptions. The program will also explore strategic considerations when choosing between lower and higher courts, along with a practical overview of bad faith frameworks in each jurisdiction. Finally, we’ll tackle often-misunderstood issues surrounding health insurance, including the provider’s duty to submit bills and the evolving landscape of subrogation rights.

Packed with practical takeaways, this session will help you spot jurisdictional pitfalls early, maximize recovery, and confidently handle cases that cross state lines.

Who Should Attend: Plaintiff personal injury attorneys and paralegals who handle—or are looking to handle—auto accident cases in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, DC. This program is especially valuable for those practicing near jurisdictional borders, managing multi-state claims, or seeking a clearer understanding of how insurance coverage, court selection, and lien/subrogation rules differ across these neighboring jurisdictions.
