Car Accidents & Injuries
If you've been injured by another driver's careless conduct, you may be entitled to recover damages taking into account
medical expenses, lost earnings, and amounts for injury, pain, and inconvenience. However, these damages aren't guaranteed under the law - they must be correctly proven, and the burden of proof rests with you. Under Virginia law, the wrongdoer's insurance company has no legal obligation to assist with your case. In fact, in too many cases we know they may have denied, delayed, or just been plain difficult.
We believe it necessary to take a focused, direct approach to your case from the outset. This includes handling
all communication with the insurance company on your behalf, investigating the accident, interviewing the investigating police officer and witnesses, and in general getting matters started in the right direction. As your case progresses, we determine and assess the evidence necessary to present it correctly and protect your interest.
As you likely know, the insurance company has its own attorneys and resources. As each case requires, we have the experience to retain and work with specialized experts to overcome roadblocks and prove your case. These experts may incude your treating physicians and nurse practitioners to correctly demonstrate an injury, vocational specialists to prove lost earnings or lost ability to work, toxicologists in drunk driving cases, or even accident reconstructionists to help prove the liability aspect of a case.
Every auto accident case is unique and challenging by nature, and there's one thing we can assure you: there are no guarantees under the law. However, handling a case properly from the outset can make all the difference in your outcome. If you have questions, contact us for a
free consultation. There is absolutely no obligation, and whether or not you choose to hire our firm, we'll give you
simple, direct advice. After decades in practice and a proven track record of success, it's the only way we know.
