John Yannone

For nearly 30 years, attorney John Yannone has worked to secure civil justice for injured individuals and the families of those killed due to the carelessness, recklessness, or negligence of others. This includes everything from personal injuries suffered in car accidents on Maryland roadways, to medical malpractice incidents at any of the dozens of hospitals and medical centers located throughout the state. Mr. Yannone is equally adept at litigating workers’ compensation matters and cases involving the abuse of children, adults, and seniors in a variety of settings, from after-school programs to assisted living centers. Whatever the case, Mr. Yannone is able to aggressively assert the rights of his clients against even the most powerful insurance companies and corporations which rarely value the interests of injured victims and surviving family members over their own relentless pursuit for top profits.

Helping Maryland Injury and Wrongful Death Victims

Most people never dream they will have to pursue compensation through civil litigation. In a perfect world no one would be faced with this task if insurance companies, and other at-fault parties, would take full responsibility and cover the full cost of treatment, lost wages, and future pain, suffering, and losses. That, unfortunately, is not what happens when most people find themselves suddenly sickened or injured, or for those who suffer the death of a loved one. In addition, few people are prepared for the tactics that many insurance companies resort to in an effort to provide the lowest possible coverage or compensation. That is when Mr. Yannone’s years of experience and many successes become most valuable to clients. He is familiar with the deceptive practices that are used by some insurance carriers and he takes pride in his work to fight for the victims of personal injury and wrongful death.

John Yannone’s Client-Centered Philosophy

Mr. Yannone and those who work under his guidance at the firm have adopted a client-centered approach that is built on the premise of mutual understanding and trust. Keeping clients apprised of all developments helps to establish and build on that understanding and trust, and ensures that the client has final say in all decisions. That includes everything from pushing for the best possible settlement, to litigating the matter in court.

In order to ensure that he is at the forefront of his field, Mr. Yannone regularly participates in training sessions and seminars. This is one of the best ways to stay a step ahead of the insurance industry’s latest tactics in Maryland personal injury matters. Networking with legal colleagues at local and national keeps him abreast of a variety of deceptive practices that may come into play in any given case. Mr. Yannone also consults with various other professional experts, from physicians to engineers, to evaluate the effectiveness of practices and products. This helps to determine the level of negligence of an individual or organization and to correctly determine the appropriate standards that, had they been followed, would have helped avoid the injury or death.
