Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all personal injury cases including car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, dog bites, premises liability, products liability, and wrongful death claims caused by negligence.
Should I talk to the insurance company after an accident?
We advise against speaking with insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Insurance adjusters often seek to minimize payouts, and our firm can protect your rights during negotiations.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay no upfront costs. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, and we only get paid if we win your case.
What if my injury case goes to trial?
While most cases settle out of court, our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers prepared to take your case to court if necessary to secure fair compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Virginia's statute of limitations is generally two years from the injury date, but exceptions exist. Contact us promptly to ensure timely filing and evidence preservation.
