  1. Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury

  2. Most injury victims do not have the resources or experience necessary to conduct a complete investigation into their case and obtain maximum compensation. The Virginia personal injury attorneys have extensive experience handling complex injury claims and helping plan obtain the compensation they are entitled to.

  3. What Should I Do If An At-fault Insurance Adjuster Contacts Me After My Accident? If you were involved in a car accident caused by the actions of another driver, you can count on the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier to contact you fairly soon. Please understand that this insurance adjuster does not work for you, and their goal is to limit the amount of money they pay you in a settlement. To that end, they will be trying to get you to say something that could jeopardize your claim. If you are contacted by an at-fault driver’s insurance carrier after a crash, you need to refuse to give a recorded statement, refuse to sign over your medical records, and tell them to contact your Virginia car accident attorney.

  4. Can Car Accident Passengers File A Claim? Yes, car accident passengers can absolutely file an injury claim. Since passengers are very rarely at fault for an accident, the focus of their claim will be towards the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier. In cases where a fault is in dispute, or where more than one driver shares fault, a passenger may need to file a claim against all of the drivers’ insurance carriers and let them hammer out who will pay for the passenger’s medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.

  5. What Is Considered Damages? Damages in the aftermath of a vehicle accident can be considered both economic (special damages) and non-economic (general damages). Economic Damages: Non-Economic Damages In these cases refer to the types of compensation owed to a crash victim that is relatively easy to calculate. This can include medical bills, lost income, general household out-of-pocket expenses, and property damage losses. In these cases refer to more immeasurable types of losses that are caused by a vehicle accident. This can include a victim’s pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, emotional distress, and more.

  6. What Will Happen To The Dog If I Report A Dog Bite Or Attack? If you report a dog that has bitten you, what happens after you make your report will typically depend on the responding law enforcement or animal control officer. Under Virginia law, law enforcement officials or animal control officers can ask the court to require the dog’s owner to relinquish custody of the pet. The officer will confine the animal until such time where evidence is heard and a verdict rendered about whether or not the dog should be considered “dangerous.”

  7. What Is The Statute Of Limitations In Virginia? Each state is responsible for setting time limits for how long a person has to file a lawsuit against someone who causes an injury. In Virginia, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury occurs. This gives an injury victim a two-year window with which to file a lawsuit against the alleged negligent party. Failing to do so within this required time frame will result in the victim being unable to recover the compensation they deserve.

  8. How Is Liability Claimed In A Motor Vehicle Accident? There are various ways that liability is determined in the aftermath of a Virginia motor vehicle accident. In general, insurance carriers and attorneys involved in the case will gather various types of evidence that can be used to determine liability. This includes the following: Photograph was taken at the scene of the crash Video surveillance from nearby homes or businesses Statements from eyewitnesses Statements from other drivers and passengers ● ● ● ●
