What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
The primary role of a personal injury lawyer is to provide representation to individuals who have been injured by someone else's negligent actions.
When you hire an injury lawyer to represent you, your lawyer will take on several responsibilities to help drive your case forward:
- They will investigate your accident and gather evidence to support your claim for compensation.
- They will communicate with the insurance company on your behalf.
- They will file any important motions or documents with the court on your behalf; this includes writing a demand letter to the at-fault party requesting compensation for your injuries.
- They will negotiate with the responsible party and attempt to get a satisfactory settlement on your behalf.
- In the event that the other party is unwilling to offer a fair settlement, your injury attorney will go to court and represent you before a judge and/or jury.
- Once a settlement has been awarded, your attorney will ensure that you receive the compensation that the court awarded you.
Hiring an injury lawyer to represent you is one of the best moves you can make to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and that the insurance company doesn't just give you the runaround when it comes to paying up.

newport news, va Personal Injury FAQ
-
How much is my personal injury case worth?
The value of a case depends on factors like medical expenses, lost income, the severity of the injury, and the degree of negligence involved. Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine its potential value.
-
Do I really need a personal injury lawyer?
Yes. Because of Virginia’s contributory negligence rule, even a small mistake can cost you your entire claim. Having a lawyer increases your chances of receiving fair compensation.
-
How long will my case take?
Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if they go to trial. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate fairly.
-
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Insurance companies often make quick, lowball offers to save money. Always consult a lawyer before accepting any settlement to ensure you are being treated fairly.
-
What happens if my loved one dies in an accident?
If negligence caused your loved one’s death, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. Our firm can help you pursue damages for funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of companionship.
