Michele Bartoli Cain represents individuals and the families of individuals who have been injured or killed as the result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person, a physician or a company.

She and her staff understand the devastating impact a personal injury can cause in a person's life. Such events can lead to lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering that impact both the injured individuals and their families.

Ms. Bartoli Cain and her staff take the time to listen, assess and analyze the claim of each client to ensure that the firm can pursue for its clients resolutions that effectively compensates them for the wrongs they have suffered.

Personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult. Through intensive effort in this area, however Ms. Bartoli Cain and her staff have come to understand how insurance companies and their lawyers think. Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose job it is to minimize the amount an injured person recovers.  In any personal injury or wrongful death case in Virginia or the District of Columbia the injured person -- or plaintiff -- must prove that the carelessness or negligence of another caused injury. Under the doctrine of contributory negligence, in both Virginia and the District of Columbia any negligence on the part of the plaintiff will bar recovery.
