    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.

    1. Hold the responsible individual or corporation fully accountable.

    2. Make the community safer, so others are not also harmed.

    3. Compensation that recognizes the full and fair value of what was taken from your health and quality of life.

    Sharif loves what he does, and he is proud of the positive impact he has had and will continue to have on the people he represents and the community he lives in.

      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.
