As the founder of The Valente Law Group, John P Valente III focuses his practices on medical malpractice, auto accidents and personal injury.

John has successfully handled numerous complex medical malpractice, fire explosion, and wrongful death and survival action cases, resulting in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for our clients.

For example, John has obtained a 5.2 million dollar verdict in Prince George’s County, Maryland, for a client who sustained a ureteral injury during a hysterectomy. This verdict was one of the largest verdicts in Southern Maryland and was one of the largest ureteral injury verdicts obtained in the history of the United States.

John also obtained a 3.5 million dollar verdict for a client who sustained a bowel injury during a hysterectomy due to medical negligence of a physician. The verdict was the largest verdict ever obtained in Calvert County history.

John also represents clients in an abundance of injury claims stemming from truck, motorcycle and automobile accidents, as well as claims stemming from injuries sustained in fires and fire explosions and slip/trip and fall accidents. In fact, John obtained a verdict for a client against Safeway in a trip and fall accident in the amount of 1.62 million dollars.
