Cara J. Luther is an attorney of counsel at the Washington, D.C. office of Wisner Baum, where she has worked for more than 30 years on many of the firm’s cases involving mass disasters and commercial transportation accidents. From aviation accidents to bus and truck crashes, rail disasters, and defective pharmaceutical products, Cara is proud to help her clients in a range of catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.. Many attorneys claim to be passionate about helping their clients, but Cara is more than just talk. In fact, she is known among her clients and colleagues for her steadfast commitment to each case she takes on, for winning her clients’ trust, and for her comprehensive approach to legal counsel.. One client praised Cara’s work in a testimonial to the firm, writing:On behalf of our entire family, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for all that your firm did for us during a very difficult process… We are extremely grateful to Cara Luther who literally held our hand through the legal process and not only kept us updated, but helped us to understand throughout the entire evolution. She was very responsive to all questions and provided support to each of us that will never be forgotten. She took the time to listen and provided not only her legal expertise but her compassion for what we were all going through. She knew how difficult losing Patricia was for all of us and she did not force us to relive any details of her death unless absolutely necessary. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. But we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her never ending professional and emotional support.Sincerely,J.A. and family. What’s more, Cara’s genuine care for her community extends outside office hours. She is an active member of various church committees in D.C. and provides pro bono legal counsel to underprivileged groups, helping them find education and employment. For instance, she is a member of the humanitarian group Presbyterian Women; a supporter of Safe Haven, a Prince George’s County Church Consortium Winter Housing for Homeless Men; and a friend of the Ron Brown Scholarship Fund. She has said that, to her, community work means keeping in touch with people and helping them meet their needs.. Education and Career HistoryIn 1968, Cara earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She focused her undergraduate studies primarily on medical technology, which armed her with the skills she needed to work in medical research after graduation. In this field, she familiarized herself with medical documents, records, and terminology, all of which proved critical to her cases at Wisner Baum.. Cara eventually pivoted to work in insurance—first as a sales representative, then as a claims adjuster. This time of her career would also prove beneficial to her clients at Wisner Baum, as she now knows how the defense thinks and operates. As a result, she can communicate more effectively with the defense and their insurance adjusters.. After working in the medical and insurance fields, she was inspired to pivot once again—this time to practice law. She attended the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, graduating with her J.D. in 1986. She has obtained numerous court admissions in the time since:• Pennsylvania• District of Columbia• The District of Columbia Court of Appeals• Maryland• U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia• U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland• U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania• U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit• U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit• U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania• U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania• U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio. Awards and Accoladesrecognition. Cara is listed in The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers™; and awarded the Martindale-Hubbell® Client Distinction Award.
