Injuries aren’t just physically painful. They also hurt your quality of life, your ability to work, and, sometimes most of all, your wallet. A personal injury lawyer in Virginia Beach can help you get compensation for an accident that someone else caused. To have the strongest possible personal injury claim, you’ll need clear evidence and a master negotiator on your side. That’s where an attorney from our firm can help.

Is It Worth Getting A Personal Injury Lawyer?
When deciding whether or not they need to hire a lawyer, injury victims often wonder if they will end up paying expensive legal fees for an attorney who won’t get results or if they’ll pay more than their claim is worth. You can rest assured that, with Rutter Mills, that won’t happen.
That’s because our Virginia personal injury attorneys receive what are known as contingency fees. Those fees only come once you’ve successfully won compensation, and they come out of a portion of your settlement. That way, there’s no risk of losing money for an injury claim that’s meant to pay you back for your damages
Some people do find they want to file their accident claim without the help of a lawyer. If damages are low and the insurance company is willing to give a good deal, that may be worth pursuing. However, insurance adjusters often offer less than you deserve. Having an attorney by your side can help ensure that you get every cent you’re owed.
If you’re not sure whether it’s worth getting a lawyer for your claim, a free consultation with one of our attorneys can help. Someone from Rutter Mills can assess your case and tell you how a Virginia Beach personal injury lawyer can help.
You May Be Owed More Than You Know
COMPENSATION FROM A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
In personal injury claims in Virginia, the liable party and their insurance company compensate you for the damages that you’ve suffered. To show how much you’re owed, your personal injury attorney in Virginia Beach will use your receipts and bills to calculate a sum that represents the financial losses you’ve suffered.
Economic Damages
The financial losses you experience after an accident are known as economic damages. They cover any money you have lost or potential earnings you’ve missed out on. Economic damages in a personal injury claim can include:
- Hospital bills
- Payment for ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Special accommodations needed for your injuries like a wheelchair or more accessible transportation
Non-Economic Damages
In personal injury claims, some victims are also able to recover compensation for the mental and emotional toll that their accident caused. Those tolls are called non-economic damages, and can include:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Loss of companionship
In order to determine an appropriate amount of compensation for your pain and suffering, your lawyer will begin with your medical bills and other expenses related to the injury. They will most likely decide on a multiplier that depends on the severity of your injuries and multiply your economic damages by that number.
Because every case is different and every person’s recovery process is unique, it’s hard to give you a good idea of how much compensation you can expect to receive. To get an estimate, you can talk to a lawyer from our firm.
