How We Stand with You Through Every Stage of a Claim

When you hire Kalfus & Nachman PC, you deserve a legal team that takes immediate control of the process and handles the work that insurance companies and defendants count on injured people to manage alone. The firm builds injury claims with purpose, protecting your position from the start and keeping the case moving forward with clear direction.

• Immediate Case Protection. We take control early, lock down time-sensitive evidence, document what happened, and protect your claim from avoidable mistakes that insurers can use against you.
• Thorough Investigation. We dig into the facts, secure reports and records, track down witnesses, and gather photos and video to build a clear liability narrative.
• Insurance Company Communication. We deal directly with adjusters and carriers, manage the paperwork and deadlines, and shield you from recorded statements or pressure tactics.
• Medical Documentation Support. We assemble the medical proof, track treatment and recovery, and tie the diagnosis and limitations to the incident in a way insurers and defense counsel cannot ignore.
• Damage Evaluation & Case Planning. We map out the full impact of the injury, including medical expenses, lost wages, and future care, so the claim is built to address the real support you may need moving forward.
• Settlement Negotiation. We push the case forward with a firm, evidence-driven demand and respond to disputes with documentation, preparation, and steady leverage.
• Litigation & Trial Preparation. We are prepared to file suit, drive discovery, take depositions, and build a courtroom-ready case when a lawsuit becomes the right next step.

How We Work: Contingency Fees, Fast Access, & Support When You Need It

After an injury, you should be able to get legal help quickly without added financial strain or scheduling barriers. Kalfus & Nachman PC keeps the first step straightforward, then stays accessible while the firm takes control of the legal process.

• Contingency Fee Representation. You do not pay upfront attorney’s fees to begin; legal fees are tied to the outcome of the case.
• Free Consultations. You can share what happened, ask questions, and get direction on next steps before you decide how to move forward.
• Virtual Consultations Available. You can meet remotely from home, the hospital, or wherever recovery has you, without delaying the start of the case.
• 24/7 Availability. You can reach the firm when urgent questions come up, including nights, weekends, and immediately after an accident.
• English and Spanish Support. You can communicate in English or Spanish so details are clear, timelines stay straight, and instructions are understood.

How Local Factors Can Shape Personal Injury Claims

Virginia Beach presents conditions that can complicate personal injury claims in ways people do not always expect. Heavy seasonal tourism, rental vehicles, rideshares, and out-of-state drivers are common, particularly near the Oceanfront and major corridors like I-264 and Virginia Beach Boulevard. When an accident involves visitors, witnesses and responsible parties may leave the area quickly, which makes early action and accurate documentation especially important.

Property and traffic conditions also play a role. Hotels, resorts, parking decks, boardwalk businesses, and large commercial properties often control surveillance footage, maintenance records, and incident reports. Access to that information is time-sensitive and can affect how fault is evaluated. We account for how local businesses and agencies operate when securing records and building a clear account of what occurred.

Virginia’s contributory negligence rule has a direct impact on how these cases are evaluated. Under this rule, an injured person may be barred from recovering compensation if they are found to share any responsibility for the incident. Insurance companies routinely look for small details to argue shared fault. Understanding local conditions allows us to be meticulous and efficient, anticipate arguments, and protect the case from the start.
