KBA Attorneys is pleased to announce the selection of attorney Peter Anderson to the distinguished Washington DC Super Lawyers Rising Stars listing for 2019. Mr. Anderson’s excellent peer reviews and professional accomplishments within personal injury and mass tort law have earned him this prestigious honor.

No more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in the Washington, D.C. area have been selected to receive the honor of being named a Rising Star. To qualify for this award, attorneys must be 40 years old or younger or have been in legal practice for 10 or fewer years.

Mr. Anderson is grateful to be recognized by Super Lawyers and will continue to provide his professional and trustworthy legal counsel to plaintiffs and colleagues in Washington, D.C. and across the United States. He is grateful for the opportunity to help victims of nursing home negligence, wrongful death, personal injury, product liability, and victims who have been injured by the negligence of others.

Mr. Anderson’s Rising Star Award comes after many years of achievements and great accomplishments representing hundreds of personal injury claimants in the Washington, D.C. area. He began his career as an attorney, taking on product liability cases against large international pharmaceutical companies. Peter Anderson also served as an associate attorney where he assisted a law team in negotiating a multi-million dollar settlement for survivors of a deadly mine blast in 2010.

• His assistance in the litigation involving wrongful death cases that came as a result of a plane crash and the 2013 Navy Yard shooting.
• He was assigned to the Law, Briefing and Discovery Committees in the Granuflo lawsuit, which resulted in a $250 million international settlement.
• He has prosecuted several negligent nursing home facilities in the Washington, D.C. area and won large settlements.
