Answers To Common Questions in Virginia Beach VA
Many people want to know how much their case is worth. There is no simple answer because it depends on your medical bills, lost income, and the severity of your injuries. Another common question is how long you have to file a claim. In Virginia, the law usually gives you two years from the date of the accident, but you should act much faster to preserve evidence.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
You likely have a case if your injury was caused by another person’s negligence. This means they failed to act with reasonable care, like a driver texting or a store owner leaving a spill on the floor. We can review your details to be sure.
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
Virginia follows a strict rule called contributory negligence. This means if you are even slightly responsible for the accident, you might be barred from recovering any money. This is why having an experienced lawyer to prove the other party’s full fault is so important.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
It costs nothing out of pocket to hire us. We use a contingency fee model, which means our payment is a percentage of the money we win for you. If we do not win your case, you do not owe us any legal fees.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases are settled through negotiations before a trial ever starts. But we prepare every case as if it were going to court. This shows the insurance company that we are serious and often leads to a better settlement offer for you.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
First, seek medical attention even if you feel okay. Some injuries take time to show symptoms. Then, take photos of the scene and get the contact information of anyone involved or who saw it. Finally, call a lawyer before you talk to an insurance company.
