We’re committed attorneys who represent people harmed in various types of accidents
Car accidents happen in many different ways. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving accidents — This includes texting and talking on cell phones and other behaviors that take the eyes from the road and hands from the wheel.
- Aggressive driving accidents — Moving violations such as speeding, tailgating and weaving put other cars in danger.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs accidents — Even if a motorist is not over the legal intoxication limit, alcohol or drugs could affect their ability to drive safely.
- Uber / Lyft accidents – What happens when you’re a passenger and get injured during an accident? Having an experienced attorney on your side will make a difference.
- Uninsured / Underinsured driver accidents – How do you recover from injuries caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver? Most of these drivers don’t have assets to personally cover the injuries; however, there are options. Our attorneys can explain and advise in these types of situations.
- Other vehicle accidents – Motorcycle accidents, Truck accidents, Tractor-Trailer accidents, Bus accidents, Bicycle Accidents and Pedestrian accidents.
Not all auto accidents are the fault of drivers. Defective car parts, malfunctioning vehicle systems, poorly maintained or designed roads and other things can lead to dangerous crashes. We will examine your injury case from all angles to determine liability and advise you about your options going forward.
We’re diligent lawyers helping Virginians who have suffered catastrophic injuries
Serious car accidents can cause major injuries and permanent disabilities that require expensive and ongoing medical care. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, paralysis, severe burns and lost limbs are some examples of catastrophic injuries that can occur in auto accidents. Sadly, injuries such as these sometimes are fatal. If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, we will fight for your rights throughout the personal injury claims process. If your loved one has died and you are a statutory beneficiary, we will counsel you about your possible right to file a wrongful death claim.
We’re hardworking litigators pursuing compensation for medical bills and other damages
In a personal injury claim, you can request compensation for the losses or damages you’ve suffered because of the other party’s negligent actions. Damages available under Virginia law include items such as:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Time lost at work while recuperating from injuries
- Lost earning capacity if you can no longer work or if your work is limited
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
In wrongful death cases, damages can include the value of the wages, care and companionship the decedent would have been expected to provide and more. When our law firm reviews the details of your case, we will help you calculate economic and non-economic losses you’ve suffered to determine the potential value of your claim.
