We get justice for people in court

Virginia Car Accident Lawyer

There are 282 million registered vehicles in the United States. That is a lot of people driving, but it also means there is a high probability of a collision. The National Safety Council reported 5.4 million medically consulted car accident injuries in 2021. Those injuries resulted in $498.3 billion in costs. If you have been in a car accident, you are now part of those statistics. You must immediately get medical attention and speak to a Virginia personal injury lawyer from RVA Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as you can.

Why Car Accidents Happen

With 233 million licensed drivers nationwide, you would assume that everyone knows the rules of the road. While that is true, drivers often make mistakes that endanger the lives of others. Some of the leading causes of car accidents include:

Distracted driving
Drunk driving
Drugs
Ignoring traffic laws
Speeding
Fatigue
Reckless driving
Road defects
Tailgating

Ignoring or not adequately adjusting to adverse weather conditions can also contribute to car accidents. Navigating your collision is a crucial step in finding the cause. It will also help with recovering financial compensation. You should speak to a Virginia personal injury lawyer immediately following a car accident.

Car Accident Injuries

Sadly, many car accidents result in injury or death. Unsuspecting victims have little time to react and are left in pain. You have rights after a crash. Injuries resulting from a collision will depend on various factors. Everyone in one vehicle can suffer different injuries. The same injury can also impact people in different ways. At RVA Personal Injury Lawyers, we often see car accident victims suffering from the following injuries:

Head injuries
Burns
Traumatic brain injuries
Concussions
Broken bones
Whiplash
Neck and back injuries
Lacerations
Scars
Paralysis
Spinal cord injuries
Internal organ damage
Loss of limb

Injuries can take days, weeks, months, or years to heal. Some are permanent. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you should seek medical attention. You can visit a trauma center from the scene, an emergency room, or meet with your primary care physician. The most important thing is getting medical care immediately. Do not fret about the costs, as these expenses are added to your car accident claim.

Damages You Can Seek After a Car Accident

Compensation will vary depending on your injury and other losses. The more medical treatment you get, the higher your claim amount. If you have a permanent injury, that will increase your claim amount substantially. A Virginia personal injury attorney will help you uncover which damages apply to you and how to pursue them. Some of your damages can include:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Physical therapy
Home and vehicle modifications
Future lost earnings
Emotional distress

Every case has unique factors to consider when calculating losses. The best way to ensure you get what your case is worth is to work with a Virginia car accident attorney.

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.

We are not settlement lawyers. We are committed to trying cases well. Because of that, we do not handle hundreds of cases at a time. We are selective in the cases we take so we can get justice for the people we represent.

How much is our Attorney’s Fee?

Nothing until we win your case.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we don’t get paid unless you get paid.

If we resolve your case before filing a lawsuit, we charge a fee of up to 33.33% of the recovery. After a lawsuit is filed, we may charge a fee of up to 40% of the recovery.
