About

Confronted by such a case involving paralysis after a fall from an inflatable slide, he became certified as an advanced operator by a respected inflatable safety industry organization to learn the standards and practices that rental operators and owners of inflatable slides should adhere to. The certification applies to inflatable boxing rings, slides, water slides, sumo wrestling games, moon bounces, jousting and other inflatable interactive games. Most of these inflatables should be set up and attended to by trained supervisors to minimize the risk of serious injuries.Bowie lawyer, George Patterson presides over a diverse personal injury practice that not only focuses on litigation and medical malpractice, but on the investigation of complex medical conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, complex bone fractures, laminectomies, disc fusions, growth plate fractures, carpal tunnel surgeries, fibromyalgia and whiplash injuries. He is widely recognized for his ability to obtain substantial settlements for his clients across a broad spectrum of practice areas.Early in Mr. Patterson's career, he obtained dozens of defense verdicts in personal injury jury trials. He has built on this experience to properly present plaintiffs' claims and to avoid tactical mistakes made by plaintiffs' attorneys.Some of his more noteworthy cases include:A $1,000,000.00 recovery for a premises liability client that developed complex regional pain syndrome.A $255,000.00 recovery for a truck driver that sustained injuries as a result of a load that was not properly secured in a sealed trailer that he was hired to transport.A $250,000.00 recovery for client whose claim was originally denied because the insurance company did not believe there was sufficient property damage to the vehicles to substantiate a personal injury claim.A 1.7 million dollar judgment in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County in 2012 for injuries sustained in a head-on collision.Collected a Million Dollar single limits insurance policy excluding a property damage payment for a rear-end collision that resulted in the death of a lady from Lothian, Maryland. A $1,250,000.00 recovery for a motorcyclist that suffered severe injuries near deep creek lake. In a Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) case, Mr. Patterson was able to obtain a resolution in the case in Federal Court for $587,500.

As a result, Mr. Patterson obtained a $500,000 recovery.Mr. Patterson obtained a $310,000 settlement on behalf of a client who sustained a neck injury requiring surgery. The settlement was obtained after the defendant retained a medical expert to argue that the neck surgery was due to a pre-existing condition.Mr. Patterson resolved a fall case for $140,000.

This lawyer is one of the top lawyers getting you what you deserve .. he is on top of all his clients needs .. and what they deserve . George is number one at what he does for the state of Maryland
I was extremely impressed with the attention that George gave my potential case. He was very meticulous and thorough, and it was obvious how experienced he is. I would definitely contact him again, should I ever need his services. Highly recommended.
Mr. George Patterson is a great lawyer in the field of personal injury. In 2016 one of my friends was injured in a pedestrian-car accident, she asked me to get a lawyer for her. I screened many lawyers online, interviewed several and decided to retain Mr. Patterson. It turned out to be a wise choice. During the process, I saw that Mr. Patterson explains legal concepts clearly, and it is simple for me to get the supporting evidences from my friend and then provide to Mr. Patterson. At last, Mr. Patterson got nice outcome for her. Later, I referred Mr. Patterson to over ten victims, and sometimes I assisted Mr. Patterson and these victims as I speak Chinese and I am a problem solver. Overall, these victims are all happy with his service. Mr. Patterson is a nice person, which is partially why I plan to work with him in the future.
My case was not a high profile case in any way. I am a private individual, with no knowledge of the judicial system, George took charge after our initial consultation and guided me through the deposition and made me very comfortable talking about my accident, and employed professional experts to verify the reasons for the lawsuit. He kept me informed over the two years it took to settle my claim. He determined our case would benefit by using mediation and hired a very competent retired judge rather then send to court. Although he was fully prepared to present our case if that became necessary. I would highly recommend this young man to anyone needing excellent legal advice.
I was involved in a traffic accident and I received judgment that was very satisfactory mr. Patterson put a lot of time and effort for the complicated case my wages and my injury and and I would recommend him heavily very excellent attorney very fair person him and his wife a good team to have in your corner Ernie thanks again
George was very attentive throughout the process and was great to work with. Highly recommend.
George has been such an amazing person to work with. He's cares about my case as if I am the only client he has. His practice is very professional and I am pleased with his services.
Prior to this experience, my only knowledge about lawyers was from TV and through others experiences. Needless to say, I was intimidated and uneasy when it came to seeking legal council. George changed all of that for me. George was extremely professional and made this process as pleasant as possible. He walked me through each step, ahead of time, so that I was properly prepared and informed throughout it all. I could not have chose a better attorney, and am extremely pleased with the outcome. Please save your time and energy searching for an attorney. He's the one!
It is a rare experience to find someone who provides a service that is outstanding, prompt, honest, and performed so that whatever your questions, they will be answered fully and clearly. This is something that I prize when I am seeking the help of a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, a doctor, and, most certainly, an attorney. I am no longer a young man, so I have had the benefit of several decades of interviewing professionals. My past employment has helped me in judging who will perform—or not—as advertised. As a reporter for several news organizations and as an auditor for a federal agency, I was expected to determine relevant facts and the reliability of the sources of that information. In short, what a careful client seeks. These are the things that were in my mind, when I interviewed George Patterson to see if I would feel comfortable with him advocating for me in a personal injury lawsuit. From first meeting until the case was decided, I found him to be a careful listener, thoughtful, and someone who always made sure that I understood what he was proposing and why. At no time, did I feel in the dark about anything that George suggested we do. If an outcome was not certain, he emphasized that. If a proposed cost might run higher in certain situations, he made sure that I had thought about this and was comfortable going ahead anyway. Also, and this one sentence deserves its own paragraph: When George explained to me the amount of compensation that he was pretty sure I was entitled to, and I agreed, he held that line. Finally, it is time to offer the information you must be seeking if you read this message. Was I satisfied with what this lawyer did for me? For the injury that I suffered, he won a settlement that was significantly larger than I had hoped for. So, YES. Bottom line: if you seek an attorney of integrity, competence, and a determination not only to champion your cause but to have you understand what is going on all the way, I recommend George Patterson.
George took his time reviewed all the facts and documentation of the case. Once completed with the review George worked with me to identify the best course of action. Once that course was identified he was relentless. It was immediately apparent that his main focus was me and my case. George dealt with the facts, was always prepared, and was very knowledgeable regarding the law(s). I appreciate what George did for me and his professionalism throughout the case. To this day we remain friends and I count on him when I have legal questions or issues. George has not only been instrumental to myself as an executive of a financial services company but he has been instrumental to our company its growth and protection.
