The 5th most populous community in all of Maryland, Silver Spring is largely nestled between the Beltway and the northern edge of Washington, DC. For many locals, it is both a self-sustaining business and residential community, and a bedroom community for federal and private sector workers needing quick access to downtown Washington via Georgia Avenue, 16th Street and the Red Line Metro.
Silver Spring is home to countless ethnic eateries, the Fillmore music venue, federal agencies, such as National Weather Service, and Food and Drug Administration, and the Holy Cross Hospital and Montgomery County District Court. The neighborhoods vary from the quiet residential streets of Woodmoor to the high rise cityscape of downtown Silver Spring. And like many of the communities that surround Washington, DC, Silver Spring has no shortage of traffic. From the daily morning and evening rush hour on I-495, to the many commuters inbound and outbound from the District of Columbia, the roadway system in Silver Spring is in high demand.
And with high demand comes a high incidence of traffic collisions. Our firm has handled Silver Spring personal injury matters for decades, not only traffic collisions on I-495, Colesville Road, or Georgia Avenue, but slip and fall incidents, dog bites and other types of injury claims.
