Helping Injured Persons and Their Families After an Accident

 

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

You have a lot to worry about after an unexpected accident and injury.

 

You may need medical treatment, including hospital visits, surgery, stays in skilled nursing facilities, at-home care, and medication.

 

You may miss time from work or school and may have to change careers depending on how severe your injuries are.

 

The physical and mental effects of your injury may prevent you from advancing at work.

 

You may have to deal with phone calls and paperwork from insurance companies. Health insurance. Workers compensation insurance. Uninsured motorist insurance. Medicare. Medicaid. All while worrying whether insurance will pay benefits and cover the treatment you need to heal.

 

As if that isn’t enough to deal with, you will also have physical pain and suffering and mental anguish that makes daily living activities difficult to complete and diminishes your quality of life.

 

The physical, mental, emotional, and financial challenges of an injury caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness can seem impossible. But with the help of a personal injury lawyer with the skill, knowledge, and resources to take on even the biggest opponents, you can overcome the challenges and recover a fair amount of compensation.

There are two ways to receive financial compensation after an accident in Virginia. 

 

First, you can pursue a personal injury claim with an insurance company – either the insurance company for the person or business that caused you harm. Or your own insurance company in some situations.

 

Second, you file a personal injury lawsuit in court against the person or business at fault for your accident and injuries.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim or Lawsuit in a Personal Injury Case in Richmond, VA?

 

The time limit to file a personal injury claim in Virginia varies depending on the type of accident you’re hurt in and the negligent party responsible for your injuries. As a general rule the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Virginia is two years from the date of accident. But the sooner you call a personal injury attorney, the better. A shorter time limit may apply to your case and the sooner the evidence is developed in your case the higher the likelihood of receiving fair compensation for your damages.

Hiring us as your Richmond personal injury attorney costs you nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee basis. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict. This means there is no charge up front and no charge unless you recover compensation.

 

You have no risk when you hire us as your Richmond injury lawyer. We have two goals: 1) to get you healthy as soon as possible so that you can enjoy a high quality of life after your accident and 2) to get you as much money for your personal injuries as we can as quickly as we can after you know the extent of your injuries and what the future will hold regarding your permanent disability, work status, and medical treatment.
