Suffolk Five Star Lawyer

  • “Likely one of the most qualified personal injury lawyers within the State. Would be my first recommendation for anyone, friend or family member, that needed representation after being injured. I cannot recommend Sharif enough.”

    Brandon E.

  • “In a legal profession now full of litigators, Sharif Gray stands out as a true American trial lawyer unafraid to take even the most difficult cases to trial when that strategy will serve the best interests of his clients. . . . For those in need of personal injury representation in Virginia, Sharif should top the list of contenders.”

    Jill D.

  • “Unlike many modern lawyers, Sharif has tried cases—and many of them. He thrives on trial. He sees it as the best vehicle to get justice for his clients. His sheer volume of experience shows his passion for trial. But he also displays his passion for the art of trial with his RVA trial lawyers podcast. In short, with Sharif you are getting an honest, dedicated, skilled, and passionate advocate for your cause.”

    Quinn A.

  • “I was told Sharif was one of the best lawyers in town, but I had no idea I was also getting one of the best human beings. I don’t think I will ever come across a more decent human being. He just cares about people. Not only did we win the case, everyone in the courtroom room saw what I saw. When we were leaving, I heard people say, ‘can I have your card? I saw what you did in there.’ I will never forget what Sharif did for me and my family.”

    Myra G.

  • “Sharif Gray is an exceptional lawyer. I sought his counsel and he provided advice and assistance that were beyond my expectations. He cares, greatly understands the law and the workings of the courts, and is passionate about his work in the legal profession – including representing and helping others. Above all, he is an example of integrity. I highly recommend Sharif Gray.”

    Thomas L.

  • “My experience with Sharif Gray was exceptional. His knowledge, experience, compassion and professionalism is refreshing and welcomed. Phenomenal lawyer and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for the absolute best in legal representation.”

    Robert O.

  • “Sharif is a tremendous trial attorney who finds nothing more professionally fulfilling than preparing for and going to trial. I have seen firsthand the effort Sharif puts into getting results for his clients. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

    Taylor R.

  • “Sharif is the best of the best! Great personal injury attorney that fights for what is right! Always doing extra education and courses to make himself better. I was highly impressed with his credentials!”

    Tommy C.

  • “All one needs to do to begin to understand Sharif’s passion for the law is to talk with him for just a few minutes. He is helpful, personal, and kind, and if you’re in need of assistance, I highly recommend Sharif Gray.”

    John S.

  • “I’ve known and worked with Sharif for over a decade and have benefitted time and again from his commitment to excellence and attention to detail in execution. You will not find a more tenacious, passionate, and dedicated advocate. Sharif makes your problems his own and works tirelessly to find solutions, no matter the odds.”

    Cabell W.

    The truth is:

    Insurance companies do not do the right thing because they should. They only do the right thing when you make them, and the only way to make them is to take them to court. And too many law firms do not go to court—they take whatever offer the insurance company makes them. 

    If your lawyer is consistently at court winning, the insurance companies know that and will settle your case for the right result. But if your law firm does not take cases to trial, the insurance companies will never do the right thing because they know that your law firm cannot get results in court. 

    Sharif Gray at Broughton Injury Law has proven that he can and will get results in court, and the insurance companies know that. Bad offers to settle your case do not intimidate him, they motivate him. If the insurance company is not interested in doing the right thing, he will take your case to court.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      For answers specific to your case, please call Sharif Gray with Broughton Injury Law at (804) 915-1611, schedule a free consultation, or click the button below to send him a message.

      How long do I have to bring a personal injury case?

      The statute of limitations is two years for most personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases in Virginia.

      For most cases, you must file a lawsuit within that time frame. But there are exceptions (e.g., for minors).

      Will my case settle or go to trial?

      Most personal injury cases settle without having to go to trial, but it depends on a number of things such as the strength of evidence, how willing the insurance company is to negotiate in good faith, and the client’s goals.

      Even when a settlement is likely, it is best to prepare for trial, because a trial-ready case often leads to better settlements. That is why we prepare every case for trial, even though most cases settle.

      What is the amount of a verdict or settlement based on?

      In Virginia, the jury considers the following factors when deciding the amount of a verdict:

      (1) Any bodily injuries sustained and their effect on health according to their degree and probable duration;

      (2) Any physical pain and mental anguish suffered in the past and any that may be reasonably expected to suffer in the future;

      (3) Any disfigurement or deformity and any associated humiliation or embarrassment suffered in the past and any that may be reasonably expected to suffer in the future;

      (4) Any inconvenience caused in the past and any that probably will be caused in the future;

      (5) Any medical expenses incurred in the past and any that may be reasonably expected to occur in the future;

      (6) Any earnings lost because of being unable to work at their calling;

      (7) Any loss of earnings and lessening of earning capacity, or either, that may reasonably be expected to sustain in the future; and

      (8) Any property damage sustained.

      Is there a cap on how much compensation I can receive?

      There is no cap on damages in most personal injury cases. But there is a cap on damages in medical malpractice cases. 

      There is also a cap on punitive damages. 

      Your personal injury lawyer should pursue the full and fair value of what was taken from your health and quality of life.

      What makes Sharif Gray different?

      Sharif Gray at Broughton Injury Law has won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, and he is known for taking cases to trial.

      Sharif is not a settlement lawyer. He is committed to trying cases well. Because of that, he does not handle hundreds of cases at a time. He is selective in the cases he takes so he can get justice for the people he represents.

      When To Call a Personal Injury Lawyer in Suffolk, VA

      After you’ve suffered an injury in an accident, you may wonder if hiring a personal injury claims lawyer is worth it. Here’s the truth: seeking legal guidance (especially, early in the process) can be highly beneficial. 

      Generally, you should consider calling a personal injury lawyer under the following circumstances: 

      You Have Significant Injuries

      If your injuries cause hospitalization, require ongoing treatment, or results in missed time from work – you need an attorney. Your lawyer will work to ensure you’re fully compensated for the short and long term impacts of your injury. 

      Fault is Disputed

      In many cases, the insurance company will blame you for the accident. Further, if multiple people are involved, it can be challenging to determine who’s legally responsible. When liability isn’t clear, your personal injury lawyer can step in to protect your rights. 

      You Have a Complex Case

      If someone else’s negligence resulted in complex injuries like Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), permanent disfigurement, and paralysis – It’s typically in the best interest of personal injury victims to work with a proven accident attorney. 

      Pressure to Accept Lowball Offer

      Suppose the insurance company immediately admits fault, and makes an offer – But, their offer is very low and doesn’t truly cover the cost of your injuries.

      In that case, it’s best to work with personal injury attorneys who have the legal expertise to obtain compensation that covers the full extent of your losses.
