Accidents happen, and when they happen to you or your loved ones, the impact can be life-changing. Whether you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall, during a medical procedure, while driving, or caused by the negligence of another, you are entitled to compensation. When you’re injured in an accident, there are specific steps you must take to ensure compensation later. It’s essential to find someone who can guide you through the entire process, and our Arlington attorneys are well-versed in the world of personal injury.
Our personal injury team can help you by fighting for your medical treatment, lost wages from missed work, pain and suffering, and inconvenience damages. A preponderance of the evidence decides personal injury claims. This means that you must be able to prove the person(s) responsible for your injuries is at least 51% responsible, or “more likely than not.” Our Arlington attorneys have argued and won using this standard before juries in accident claims from car accidents to dog bites.
Some common types of personal injury cases include:
- Slip-and-fall accidents that occur due to the negligent actions or inaction of stores, restaurants, bars, and other businesses.
- Motor vehicle accidents can involve tractor-trailers, motorcycles, pedestrians, and buses. Even if you were a passenger in a vehicle that has been in an accident, you still have a potential personal injury claim if the negligence of another caused the accident.
- Dog bites can occur because of the owner’s negligence. If you or your pet have been injured due to a dog bite in Arlington, you may have a viable injury claim.
- Premises liability claims come from an age-old legal doctrine finding certain businesses/landowners responsible for injuries on their property. These claims are very fact-oriented, so call our Virginia personal injury attorneys if you have questions about a premises liability injury claim.
We also help injured workers file claims for workers' compensation benefits.
