Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
We
represent individuals and the families of individuals who
have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent
or wrongful conduct of others. We understand how insurance
companies and their lawyers think. Insurance companies are
interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious
injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose job
it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of your claim.
We know their tactics. We invest the time and resources necessary
to prepare every case for trial, and, as evidenced by the
results we have obtained in other cases, we will proceed to
trial if it is in the client's best interest. |
Products
Liability
We have successfully
represented many individuals who have been injured as a result
of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold,
and/or furnished by a person or company. We assist those injured
individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated
for their injuries. |
Automobile
Manufacturer's Liability
We have the experience and resources to successfully prosecute
claims against automobile manufacturers who sell vehicles with
defects that result in injury or death to the vehicle's occupants.
Serious injuries or death can result from such things as:
• Faulty Seatbelts, Restraints, and Airbags
• Tire Failure
• Post Collision Fires
• SUV and Van Rollovers
• Roof Crush.
We have the specialized resources required to prove negligence
and/or responsibility in these cases and other types of automobile,
truck, and van defect cases. |
Motor
Vehicle Accidents
Serious
car, truck and tractor-trailer accidents require the guidance
of an experienced attorney. We have years of practice and
a record of successful representation of people who have suffered
significant injuries in motor vehicle accidents (commercial
and personal). We work with physicians and other health care
providers to assess and review all the short and long-term
medical aspects of your case. Our detailed understanding of
Virginia's automobile insurance and liability laws means we
understand the different sources of recovery available to
car accident victims and their families as well as the various
theories of liability that enable those victims to collect
from the parties who caused them harm.
Our firm also represents individuals and the families of individuals
injured or killed in airplane, railroad, boating, and other
transportation and recreational vehicle accidents.

Premises
Liability
Premises liability includes many types of events such as those
involving structural design flaws, unsafe conditions, environmental
hazards, improper traffic patterns and a wide range of other
issues. In many cases, security related premises liability matters
involve issues such as physical security standards and generally
accepted security practices. In addition to any existing standards,
crime statistics, event history, community standards, and specific
risk considerations play a part in determining whether an adverse
event was foreseeable. |
Toxic
Torts
Our firm represents individuals who have been injured by exposure
to toxic and other dangerous substances, forms of energy, and
devices. We represent clients in recovering money damages for
medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive
damages, where appropriate, individually or as part of a class
action. |
Medical
Malpractice and Healthcare Negligence Law
Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a
physician or healthcare provider either fails to do something
that should have been done or does something that should not
have been done with a resulting injury or death. Doctors and
other healthcare providers must follow certain standards when
caring for patients. While a simple mistake is not enough to
constitute negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure
to meet minimum standards of care or the failure to diagnose
an easily detectable illness may be malpractice.
.
We aggressively investigate and pursue claims for catastrophic
injuries and death arising out of:
• Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
• Birth Trauma
• Failure to Diagnose Cancer and Other Diseases
• Inappropriate or Negligently Performed Surgery
• Disfigurement
• Inappropriate or Dangerous Treatment Practices
• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
• Pharmaceutical Injuries and Prescription Drug Errors
• Psychiatric/Mental Health Malpractice or Negligence
Our lawyers are experienced in determining whether or not you
may have a malpractice case when someone is injured as a result
of the misconduct of individuals in the healthcare field. |
FELA/Railroad
Law
We represent
railroad workers for on-the-job injuries under a law called
the Federal Employers' Liability Act, commonly referred to as
the FELA. This law applies equally to railroads throughout the
country and allows us to file a suit on behalf of our clients
in federal or state court. |
Workers'
Compensation & Employment
Our firm represents employees who are injured on the job in
claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against
private industry, federal, state and local government employers
and their workers' compensation insurers. We handle issues dealing
with the right to recover benefits, defenses, fraud, subrogation,
and appeals. |
Social
Security Disability/SSDI
We represent
individuals who have become disabled because of a serious
illness or injury and denied their Social Security disability
benefits. Denial of these disability insurance claims creates
a severe hardship on individuals who have worked all their
life and now, because they can no longer perform their current
job or any other job in the workplace, have their everyday
existence threatened by the denial of their Social Security
disability benefits.
The process of appealing Social Security disability claims
is very time consuming and presents numerous problems for
individuals seeking disability benefits. Understanding the
rules and regulations regarding the Social Security Administration's
system of filing and obtaining approval for disability insurance
benefits can be frustrating, overwhelming and confusing.
We provide expert representation to clients seeking Social
Security Disability benefits and to clients whose benefit
claims have been denied by the Social Security Administration.
