Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Virginia

We handle many kinds of personal injury cases at our firm, including the following:

• Car Accidents: Car accidents are among the leading causes of preventable injuries in Virginia. We know how important it is to get you the money you need for your recovery.
• Truck Accidents: Large truck accidents often cause severe injuries, and the resulting cases are particularly complex due to industry regulations, complicated insurance policies, and defrayed liability. We work to hold trucking companies and drivers accountable for their negligence.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are at particular risk of serious injury in a crash, which makes it all the more important to have a lawyer who knows how to overcome negative stereotypes to get fair compensation.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, we’ll help you pursue a claim against the owner or occupier.
• Medical Malpractice: When medical professionals cause injuries by failing to provide proper care, victims can seek accountability through malpractice claims.
• Product Liability: Companies are responsible for the products they put on the market. When manufacturing or design defects lead to injuries, they should be held accountable for the consequences.
• Dog Bites: Pet owners should be held responsible when they fail to control their animals. We can pursue homeowners or renters' insurance claims against the owner of the dog that attacked you.
• Workplace Injuries: If you’ve been injured on the job, we can pursue any claim you may have against any other parties that may have caused your injuries.
• Premises Liability: Property owners must keep their premises safe. We hold them responsible when their failure to do so results in preventable injuries.
