Jurisdictions
Virginia · Maryland · D.C. · New Jersey · New York — each matter handled by counsel admitted where it is filed.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Injury matters are handled on a contingency basis in qualifying cases.
§ 01 — Why the state line matters
A personal injury claim is governed by the law of the state where the injury occurred — and two rules move the outcome more than any other: the filing deadline and the negligence standard. A theory that carries a claim in New York can end it in Virginia.
| Jurisdiction | Filing Deadline | Statute | Negligence Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virginia | 2 years | Va. Code § 8.01-243 | Pure contributory1% at fault may bar recovery |
| New Jersey | 2 years | N.J. Stat. § 2A:14-2 | Modified comparativeBarred above 51% fault |
| Maryland | 3 years | Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101 | Pure contributory1% at fault may bar recovery |
| District of Columbia | 3 years | D.C. Code § 12-301 | Pure contributory1% at fault may bar recovery |
| New York | 3 years | N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214 | Pure comparativeAward reduced by fault % |
New York and New Jersey also operate no-fault / Personal Injury Protection (PIP) systems, where a claimant's own coverage pays first and threshold rules govern when a suit for pain and suffering may proceed. Exceptions apply — matters involving minors, claims against government entities, and certain medical cases carry different timelines.
§ 02 — The matters this firm handles
Each matter is assigned to counsel admitted in the relevant bar and experienced in that matter type. The firm concentrates its injury practice in the areas below.
01
Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, bus and rideshare (Uber / Lyft) collisions — including rear-end, T-bone, hit-and-run, and UM/UIM claims.
02
Matters against motor carriers and insurers — examining FMCSA hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, and cargo procedures.
03
Slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall, negligent security, and elevator / escalator matters — turning on notice: what the owner knew, and when.
04
Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, burns, and amputation — with life-care planning to value future need.
05
Medical negligence, nursing-home abuse, and nursing-home neglect matters.
06
Defective-product, failure-to-warn, and toxic-exposure matters.
07
Animal-attack and dog-bite injury matters under each state's governing standard.
08
Civil actions brought by statutory survivors — governed by state-specific rules on who may file and what may be recovered.
§ 03 — The founding attorney
Mr. Sris is a former prosecutor. He founded Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. in 1997 and is admitted in five U.S. jurisdictions — Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. In 2019 he testified before the Virginia House Courts of Justice Committee in support of HB 635, addressing Va. Code § 20-107.3(g).
Injury matters are staffed with the firm's Of Counsel attorneys according to the court, the bar, and the matter type — including counsel with backgrounds in prosecution and law enforcement whose experience informs how the firm evaluates the other side's case.

§ 04 — How an injury claim moves
i
The firm reviews the facts, any police or incident reports, and evidence, and explains the rights and deadlines that apply under the governing state's law.
ii
Securing official reports, medical records and bills, witness statements, and — where warranted — investigators and reconstruction professionals.
iii
Once representation is in place, communications route through the firm, so adjusters do not press early, undervalued offers.
iv
As treatment stabilizes, the firm documents economic and non-economic losses, working with medical and economic professionals.
v
At maximum medical improvement, the firm presents a documented demand and negotiates with the carrier.
vi
If the carrier will not offer fairly, the firm files in the appropriate state court and prepares as though it will be tried.
§ 05 — Locations
Intake is staffed 24/7/365 at the toll-free line, (888) 437-7747. In-person meetings are scheduled, not walked in. The firm maintains eight locations across Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York.
The firm also maintains a Colombia Practice location in Pereira, Colombia. Attorneys there are licensed in Colombia and handle Colombian legal matters only; they are not admitted to practice law in any US jurisdiction and do not handle US personal injury matters. For US injury matters, contact the US practice at (888) 437-7747.
§ 07 — Questions clients ask first
It depends on the state where the injury occurred — generally two years in Virginia and New Jersey, and three years in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and New York, subject to exceptions. Because a missed deadline generally bars the claim, an early assessment is important.
In Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, a plaintiff found even one percent at fault may recover nothing. New Jersey and New York apply comparative-negligence rules that reduce, rather than bar, recovery. The governing standard shapes strategy from the first day.
Qualifying injury matters are handled on a contingency basis — no attorney's fee unless you recover. Clients may remain responsible for case costs and disbursements. The arrangement is set out in writing.
Consider declining to give a recorded statement and routing contact through counsel. Adjusters are trained to develop facts that reduce a claim.
Yes. The intake line at (888) 437-7747 is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Attorney consultations are scheduled by appointment with counsel whose admission and experience fit the matter.
No. Every matter is different, and the outcome depends on factors unique to that matter. Past results do not guarantee future results.
