Our law firm continues a tradition of client service established by Thomas Fortune Fay when he opened his own office more than 40 years ago. Today with four attorneys, we concentrate on auto or truck accident cases, malpractice claims against doctors and hospitals, and complex injury claims of all kinds.

We began our work on terrorism cases after the 1983 truck bomb attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. Subsequent changes in federal law make it possible to sue sovereign nations for civil damages on proof of their involvement with various forms of terrorism, and we have pioneered the litigation of these cases on behalf of private citizens with personal injury or wrongful death claims.

When Annie P. Kaplan joined the firm, she brought with her almost 20 years of experience across a range of medical negligence claims throughout the Middle Atlantic states. Birth injuries, surgical errors and OB/GYN malpractice form an especially important focus of her practice.

Fay Kaplan clients can depend on our lawyers for prompt and responsive service, careful attention to the facts, and a resourceful approach to problem solving. To learn how our attorneys can protect your rights and interests, contact us for a free consultation in Washington, D.C.
