Common Questions After a Car Accident
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay attorney fees if we win your case. The initial consultation is completely free.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Virginia?
In Virginia, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it is important to start the process early so evidence can be preserved and your case can be properly prepared.
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, future medical treatment, and diminished quality of life.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
You may still have options. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Our attorneys can review your policy and explore every possible avenue for compensation.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim. Before speaking with anyone, call us first. We will handle all communication with the insurance companies on your behalf.
