Glen Allen Car Accident Lawyers

Free Consultation No fee unless we win!

    On average, 179 people per day are hurt in Virginia car accidents. The good news is that most of them are not serious. However, that is small comfort if you are among those suffering a severe injury from an auto accident– caused by the negligence of another driver. Not only are you in pain and struggling to recover, but you do not know when you can return to work, or even if you can ever work again. Besides the physical injuries to your body, your finances and your family’s welfare are also affected.

    A Glen Allen car accident attorney at Rutter Mills can help you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. While 95 percent of cases are settled, we will go to court when warranted.

    Car accident injuries

    While car accident injuries run the gamut, the most serious injuries include:

    • Amputations
    • Multiple fractures
    • Internal bleeding
    • Internal organ damage
    • Head trauma
    • Burns
    • Disfigurement
    • Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis

    What to do after a car accident

    If possible, use your smartphone to photograph or video the accident scene including all vehicles involved, the road conditions, any skid or other marks relating to the accident, and your injuries. In addition, get the insurance and contact information of the other driver and the contact information of any witnesses.

    Always seek immediate medical attention, even if you do not initially think you were badly hurt. Some car accident injuries are not apparent right away. Failure to go to the emergency room or doctor promptly after an accident can cause the insurance company to claim your injuries are not serious or that some other incident is responsible for them.

    Virginia car accident damages

    In Virginia, damages, or compensation, for car accidents may include:

    • Medical expenses, current, and future
    • Lost wages
    • Loss of future earning capacity
    • Property damage
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress

    A Glen Allen car accident lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement based on individual client circumstances. A seasoned attorney knows the amount of compensation necessary for their client’s present and long-term needs and will not back down.

    Virginia statute of limitations

    In Virginia, those injured in car accidents have two years from the date of the accident in which to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a person dies from their injuries, family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit within two years.

    Even with a two-year statute of limitations, seek legal counsel as soon as possible. Thorough investigations take time, and the sooner it starts, the less likely critical evidence could disappear.

    What Our Clients Say

    "The staff at Rutter Mills worked for me from the first minute I was in their office. They called and emailed every week and kept better records than I did. I was injured and had to undergo two operations from the accident. The recovery period was long with many physical therapy sessions over the next year. The staff emailed me many times, asking if there was anything they could do to make me feel better during my recovery. During this time my attorney was active in filing the paperwork for court litigation, but was contacted by the other law firm that wished to discuss settling my case. Depositions were done and the final one was scheduled and I was present to complete that phase of the case. My attorney got a maximum award for me and I will be forever grateful for his and their staff's work and attention during my time of legal need. Rutter Mills will be my only call if I ever need legal representation in the future." ★★★★★ -Dan, Rutter Mills Client
