I am beyond happy with my experience working with Rutter Mills. I was in an accident that resulted in my car being completely totaled and 3 months in physical therapy. Rutter Mills was responsive throughout the entire journey and did everything they could to ensure I was compensated adequately for damages and injuries. My negotiator was always easily accessible for any of my questions and concerns and worked diligently on my behalf making the process worry and stress free. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Do You Need a Virginia Maritime Lawyer?
- You have the right to seek treatment from any doctor you choose
- You are entitled to medical benefits, even if you do not sign paperwork filed by insurance adjustors
- You are not required to provide insurance adjustors a recorded statement regarding the accident
- You are not obligated to accept a settlement offer
