What Happens When You Get Injured in Richmond
When someone else’s negligence causes you to be hospitalized or leaves you with property damage, Virginia personal injury law may affect your claim. Your insurer or opposing counsel immediately tries to take the statement from you and use it against you to deny compensation under Virginia’s contributory negligence rule.
They may also make a quick, unfair settlement offer to discourage you from taking the case further. That’s where our Richmond personal injury attorney can step in to help. While you focus on healing, we build a case aimed at helping you pursue fair compensation, whether through settlement or trial.

Be cautious before accepting an insurance company’s first settlement offer, which may be lower than the value of your claim. After accepting a settlement, you may not be able to seek additional money if your medical bills later exceed the settlement amount.
