News: Two vehicles strike, fatally injure one pedestrian in DC

by Paul A. Samakow

WASHINGTON, DC – Investigators are searching for two drivers that ran into a person as they were crossing a street on Thursday, according to Popville.

One person was walking across the New Jersey Avenue crosswalk when two vehicles struck them. The Metropolitan Police Department reports that one of the cars had run a red light at the time of the wreck. Neither driver stayed at the scene to wait for authorities.

Medics arrived shortly after 8:22 p.m., at the intersection of New York Avenue and New Jersey Avenue. The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital, where they were later pronounced deceased. Their identity has yet to be released.

The Major Crash Investigations Unit at MPD is currently searching for the drivers of the striking vehicles.

I cannot say enough good things about Paul Samakow. From start to finish, he went above and beyond for me. He fought tirelessly for me after I suffered a second-degree burn on my chest from a malfunctioning device. The manufacturer was based in China, which made the case extremely challenging and lengthy, but Paul never backed down—not for a second.

During this process, I was laid off for the first time in my life, and I became genuinely fearful that the case wouldn’t resolve or that the money wouldn’t come through. Paul reassured me every step of the way and, if anything, fought even harder when I needed it most. He is truly the bearer of good news—he does not believe in delivering anything less.

Something else that sets Paul apart from other attorneys is his responsiveness. He answers his phone, every single time. He is prompt. He is reliable. Honestly, he is one of the most responsive professionals I have ever worked with, which is incredibly impressive given his caseload.

I saw firsthand the difference between Paul and another attorney my cousin was working with at the same time—and the contrast was night and day. If you have the opportunity to work with Paul Samoko, you will be blessed. I am so grateful for him!

This firm provided some great information that I think almost anyone who has been in an accident could benefit from. You still may need a lawyer like Paul to handle some of the specifics.
