Seeking Compensation for Injuries

An active member of the Prince George’s County legal community, Rick Jaklitsch provides client-centered representation in diverse personal injury cases. Rick Jaklitsch and The Jaklitsch Law Group have a proven record in the representation of clients with back and neck injuries.

Whether back injuries occur in a sudden accident, in a slip and fall, or over time on the job site, many of the injuries are not the fault of the injured party. Negligence may involve an inattentive driver or a company that did not address a hazard on its premises. In such cases, the negligent party should contribute financially to the well-being of the injured person.

The recovery process for back and spine issues often involves lengthy physical therapy. Specialized practitioners may be required, such as chiropractors, neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and massage therapists.

In addition to receiving medical bills, the injured party often must miss work for long periods. All of these factors go into the settlement sought by an accident injury attorney, who can navigate the legal system and win fair and just compensation for the injured person.

Final Selection for the Super Lawyers Listing

An accomplished personal injury attorney, Rick Jaklitsch has led the Jaklitsch Law Group since 1999. Among many awards, Rick Jaklitsch was recently selected for the Super Lawyers list in 2020 in his home state of Maryland.

The selection process for inclusion on the Super Lawyers list involves four steps. The first three focus on identifying and thoroughly vetting the nominees to the list. The organization invites lawyers from each state to nominate the top attorneys in their area for the selection process. These are complemented by informal nominations from clients, readers, and other members of the community who are not otherwise eligible to nominate candidates.

Then, the Super Lawyers staff evaluates each lawyer on 12 indicators of achievement. Some indicators are more heavily weighted than others to ensure a fair evaluation. The final step groups nominees into one of four firm categories, so lawyers are compared to peers working in similarly sized firms.

Afterward, the staff investigates each nominee’s standing with local authorities and for the presence of any disciplinary activity in the past. They also contact each lawyer directly to verify the accuracy of the information discovered about them. Ultimately, no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected for the list, which is published in regional editions of Super Lawyers Magazine.
