Serious Car Accidents Demand Serious Attorneys.

When you’re injured in a car accident, you need a lawyer who can and will take on the big insurance companies.

The insurance companies have legal teams that are serious about protecting their bottom line.

Shouldn’t you have a serious car accident lawyer handling your case?

Why Choose Rutter Mills?
– Because Your Lawyer Matters.

WE CARE

Every Rutter Mills client is treated with respect, compassion, and personal attention. We care deeply about the people who entrust us with the future of their case.

Our attorneys take the time to listen, answer questions, and stay accessible throughout the process.

No client is ever left wondering what’s happening with their case. Our goal is not only to achieve the best possible outcome, but to make sure our clients feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.

 

WE’RE HONEST

At Rutter Mills, we review cases before we take them. That’s because we only take cases where we believe we can make a significant impact. We won’t waste your time, and we won’t drain your resources.

Even if we don’t take your case, we’ll take the time to explain your next steps. We’ll help you protect yourself moving forward—and we invite you to call us back if the insurer treats you unfairly, makes an inadequate offer, or denies your injury occurred.

 

WE DELIVER

Rutter Mills injury law firm delivers results through preparation, persistence, and accountability. Insurance companies know our reputation because we build strong cases and pursue full, fair compensation for our clients.

With hundreds of millions of dollars recovered, our track record reflects not luck—but disciplined advocacy and a refusal to settle for less than our clients deserve.

When To Call A Car Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in a car accident and unable to work, the medical bills can start to add up with no end in sight. Rutter Mills can help (and there are no upfront costs).

Reach out to our car accident lawyers today to make the collection calls stop. We’ll contact the billing departments to negotiate pricing and payment terms.

 

Our attorneys have experience with uninsured driver car accidents, and we can help.

Most drivers don’t know that car insurance premiums have a dedicated uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage–Coverage the insurer doesn’t want you to know about.

You pay for it. Why not use it?

Virginia follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If an injured party is found even slightly at fault for an accident, they may be barred from recovering damages.

Rutter Mills’ in-house investigators begin gathering evidence early, including witness statements and available phone and vehicle data, to help establish how the crash occurred.

Speak to a car accident lawyer before the insurance company. Our job is to help you prove your case; their job is to pay as little as possible.

Rutter Mills car accident attorneys have seen every trick in their book, and we have a few tricks of our own.

We offer free consultations, call today: 757-777-7777.

Car Insurance Benefits & Pitfalls

Will Your Insurance Company Be There When You Need Them?

You pay your car insurance premiums every month, every year. Big insurance companies and their fun-loving mascots love to promise they will help you after a car accident.

But will they really? 

The goal of the insurance adjustor is to avoid paying. Rutter Mills knows the games they play, and the countermoves to come out on top. When they call to check on your recovery, what they’re really asking is:

“Can we stop paying you yet?”

When Life Changes In The Blink Of An Eye – Where Do You Turn?

After a serious car accident injury, the road to recovery should be a straight shot. Unfortunately, decisions made in the shock and aftermath of a crash can have far-reaching consequences. 

Professional legal help is critical after an auto accident. Every details matters, from the moments before impact, to the first words or steps afterwards.

Our experienced car accident attorneys can handle insurance companies, negotiate with medical providers, and guide next steps. Rutter Mills has been trusted by thousands of clients in Virginia and North Carolina for more than 6 decades. We would be honored to discuss your legal options when you’re ready.

Redd E.

I had and still do have the most valuable, professional and friendly relationship with Selena Paszkiewicz and Mr. Lotkin. It was a bit rough waiting for the case to conclude because of covid; however, it was DEFINITELY worth the wait and the experience. Not to mention how, as a 20 year plus employment. Selena was so gracious as to assist me in paralegal questions, as I've just graduated from studying law as a paralegal. Upon the case being concluded, she has still promised I could always call for advice and paralegal help. I'm going to grow up to be just like her (lol). Rutter Mills attorneys and paralegals, especially Mr. Lotkin and Selena Paszkiewicz, you're the best ever. PLEASE PLEASE keep doing what you love. When you do what you're meant for and with the joy you both have in it, it's not a job or work... it's a career for life!!!

Kirk W.

I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the Rutter Mill Law Organization. Especially the help and guidance of Andrew Boran and Kathy Saunders in settling my accident lawsuit. Your constant updates on my case kept me well informed of the progress of the lawsuit and eventually getting me a great settlement. Thank you!

Michael M.

My "Dream Team" Attorney Erik Porcaro and Paralegal Jackie Shuster worked over and above my expectations. She kept an open dialogue throughout the entire process and kept me informed through every phase of my case. I will always come back to Rutter Mills. Thanks for a great experience.

Jimmie S

I was injured in a accident & was rejected by 2 law offices that said it was my fault even though I was hit from behind. Rutter Mills got the job done. They had police testify and a witness. I was impressed with how thoroughly they got results. If you want a true dedicated firm that get you results this is it - hands down - Rutter Mills!

Autumn D.

Dont make it harder than it needs to be. Choose Rutter Mills! I had never needed to contact an attorney, it was all new to me and I was in pain from being rear ended while at a stop light. I did like most and checked reviews. I called Rutter Mills and not for one second did I ever doubt my decision. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrew Boran and his paralegal Kathy Saunders. They were there for me every step of the way. Extremely understanding and knowledgeable. They stayed in touch with me and went to bat for me. I highly recommend them to anyone. Don't make it harder than it needs to be on yourself, CALL RUTTER MILLS NOW!
