Dumfries, VA Car Accident Lawyers

Dedicated Attorneys for Injuries in Auto Accidents in Dumfries, Virginia

If you have been hurt in a car accident in Virginia, you may have a right to receive compensation for your damages. However, the process of filing a personal injury claim for a car accident is fraught with difficulty. Close-fisted insurance companies will often do everything in their power to avoid paying you a full settlement, even if the evidence is as plain as day.

A personal injury lawyer can provide you with much-needed assistance, documenting evidence of the crash and helping you file your claim before the deadline. Robinson Law, PLLC is proud to serve residents of Dumfries as relentless advocates and advisors in car accident claims. When you work with us, we will not relent until we have secured fair compensation, even if it means going to trial.

Fault in Car Accidents

To recover compensation for a car accident in Virginia, you must prove that the other driver was fully to blame for the collision. This is unlike the many other states that adhere to comparative negligence in accidents, where a driver can collect compensation even if he or she is partially at fault. According to Virginia's contributory negligence laws, you can be barred from taking legal action if the other driver is not 100% at fault.

But how can you establish that the other driver is fully at fault? Our skilled personal injury lawyers can cite specific negligent behaviors that resulted in the crash, such as:

• Reckless driving
• Traffic violations
• Driving under the influence
• Poor vehicle maintenance
• Distracted driving

We investigate all manner of crashes, including rear-end collisions, rollover accidents, multi-vehicle pileups, sideswipes, and T-bone collisions. A personal injury attorney at Robinson Law, PLLC can investigate the site of the collision on your behalf to collect proof of liability. We can use witness testimony, photographs, video footage, and crash reconstruction analysis to make a case for the other driver's complete fault for the accident.

Damages in Car Crashes

A full claim for damages from a car crash is worth more than just your medical expenses. You can collect different types of damages in a personal injury lawsuit, including:

• Economic Damages: These damages can be quantified as actual past expenses or theoretical future expenses, such as hospital bills, lost wages, and reduced income from an injury.
• Non-economic Damages: These damages refer to unquantifiable costs from an accident, such as physical pain, mental anguish, and any harm to your quality of life. After a disabling injury, you may struggle to enjoy the things you used to be able to do, which may qualify you for non-economic damages.
• Punitive Damages: These damages may sometimes be awarded if the accident was caused by an act of gross negligence, such as driving under the influence.

You must supply the burden of proof to get compensated for your damages. As such, it is in your best interests to hold on to any documentation, like medical records and bills, that shows the full extent of the harm done to you. At Robinson Law, PLLC, our personal injury lawyers can represent you in negotiations with insurance adjusters, ensuring that all of your expenses and pain are brought to light in your claim.
