If you have been hurt as a result of somebody else's careless, reckless, or negligent behavior, you have a right to take action to address the damages you have suffered.

Insurance companies will do everything they can to avoid taking on financial responsibility, and they may offer a small settlement or even deny your claim outright. With the help of a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer, you can take the right steps to obtain compensation that addresses all of your needs.

Slip-and-Fall Accidents

A simple slip-and-fall accident can come with serious repercussions for your health. If the accident occurred on private property, the owner of the property could be held liable if dangerous conditions were not adequately addressed, a legal principle known as premises liability. As such, our attorneys will make sure every element of a slip-and-fall claim is satisfied, first determining fault for the accident, then figuring out the extent of injury, and finally proving that the property owner created the conditions for the injury.

Slip-and-fall accidents can be especially damaging if you land on your head or back. Falling on your head can lead directly to a traumatic brain injury, which can have a permanent impact on your cognitive ability. If you land on your back, you could incur a spine injury resulting in partial or full paralysis. After a slip-and-fall accident, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately so that a doctor can assess the severity of the injury.

Car Accidents

Car accidents frequently result from negligent behaviors like texting while driving or driving under the influence. Even with modern innovations in vehicle safety, a car crash can still result in a debilitating injury, potentially putting you out of work. A full claim for compensation in a car accident might address the costs of a hospital stay, physical therapy, other forms of medical care, and lost wages and/or future income, as well as your pain and suffering.

Virginia has strict laws regarding contributory negligence, which means that in order to collect compensation in a car accident or other personal injury claim, you must demonstrate that the other party was fully to blame for the accident. However, even if you share some small part of the blame, you may still be able to make a case for your compensation with the state's "last clear chance" doctrine. Under this doctrine, you can make a claim for damages if the other party could have avoided causing the accident up until the last moment.

Whether the blame is clear-cut or not, our attorneys will build a rigorous case for full compensation. If the insurance company refuses to recognize your claim for damages in a car accident, we are willing to go to court on your behalf and fight to hold the other driver liable.
