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 has proven that he can and will get results in court, and the insurance companies know that. Bad offers do not intimidate us, they motivate us. If the insurance company is not interested in doing the right thing, we will take your case to court.

“We Get Justice For People In Court, and We Love What We Do.”

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.

In every case, we have three goals:

1. Hold the responsible corporation or individual 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.

We love what we do, and we are proud of the positive impact we have had and will continue to have on the people we represent and the community we live in.

If we can be of help to you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at (804) 915-1611 or TrialLawyers@RVATrialLawyers.com.

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.
