Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.

If you were injured due to someone else's negligence, you likely have a case. The best way to find out is to contact us for a free case evaluation. We will review your situation and give you an honest assessment.

Bring any documents related to your case: accident reports, medical records, insurance correspondence, photos of injuries or the accident scene, and contact information for witnesses.

Virginia's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, some cases have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.

Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses. In wrongful death cases, families may recover funeral costs and loss of companionship.

Yes. Virginia workers' compensation is a no-fault system. You are generally entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the workplace injury, as long as it occurred in the course of your employment.

In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, if a third party (such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury, you may have a separate personal injury claim.

Virginia workers' compensation provides medical treatment, wage replacement (typically two-thirds of your average weekly wage), and permanent disability benefits if applicable.

Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene if possible, do not admit fault, exchange information with other parties, and contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

We recommend consulting with an attorney before giving any recorded statement to an insurance company. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim, and early statements can be used against you.
