All too many personal injuries occur because one or more parties behaved negligently and failed to protect their fellow citizens. If this is what happened to you, our lawyer serving Virginia can help you fight for the financial compensation your family needs.
If successful, you could recover a personal injury settlement based on your medical bills, pain and suffering, disability, and lost wages, among other things. You only have to pay our attorney’s fees if our Virginia personal injury lawyer wins compensation for you.
We Offer Help to Personal Injury Survivors
In Virginia, personal injury survivors have two years from the accident date to bring a case for compensation, according to the Code of Virginia § 8.01-243. Cases filed after that date will probably be rejected, so it is imperative that you act fast.
After receiving medical care for your injury, your next step should be to start exploring your legal options. The team at Adam M. Smallow would be happy to tell you about these options, which may include filing a claim with the liable party’s insurer and/or filing a lawsuit against the liable party.
To ensure your case goes as smoothly as possible, our personal injury attorney can:
- Charge nothing up front: In addition to providing a free evaluation to all potential clients, our fee agreement stipulates that we receive no attorney’s fees until after our client gets their money.
- Keep you involved: You can expect regular calls and updates from us regarding what is happening with your case, especially when it comes time for you to make important decisions about your case’s future.
- Identify the liable party: We can use evidence like your testimony, witness testimony, and audiovisual footage to establish who caused your accident.
- Quantify your injuries: The insurer may decide your injuries are worth a certain amount, but how can you be sure that their assessment is fair? The team at MD Accident Law can conduct our own assessment.
- Enter negotiations: If the insurance company is amenable, we can sit down with them and hammer out a settlement agreement that meets all of your present and future needs.
- Take the liable party to court: A trial typically takes longer than a pretrial settlement. However, in some cases, it is the best and most efficient way of getting our clients the compensation they need.
After a personal injury accident, you deserve the chance to focus on your recuperation while we focus on your case. MD Accident Law can give you that chance. All you have to do to get started on your personal injury claim is reach out to us and request a free consultation.

Do You Qualify for Personal Injury Damages?
Our Virginia personal injury lawyer can determine if you have a claim for damages. We can compare your situation to the various kinds of compensation available to personal injury survivors, such as:
- Pain and suffering: Have your injuries caused you significant pain and discomfort? Are you struggling emotionally as you process the accident and its effects on your life?
- Disability: Do your injuries temporarily or permanently prevent you from using your mind or body in all of the ways you did before?
- Reduced quality of life: Do you need help with tasks you once performed independently? Have you given up on trying to perform certain tasks because your injuries make them too difficult or painful?
- Medical bills: Have you spent any amount of money on treating your accident injuries? Will you need to spend more money in the future to manage symptoms?
- Loss of income: Have your injuries forced you to take time away from work? Are you losing out on important job benefits, like health insurance or pension payments, as you recuperate?
- Loss of earning capacity: Will you never be able to earn as much as before due to disabling injuries or an inability to perform your prior job duties?
These and other losses can have a devastating impact on your entire family. You might have trouble paying bills or be unable to spend quality time with your children. You may also experience negative changes in your relationship with your spouse.
If you lose a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, our wrongful eath lawyers can seek justice and compensation for your family.
You have already paid enough for the liable party’s negligence. With our firm’s help, you can hold them accountable and make them pay for the damage they have done to your health, your family, and your career.

When to Sue Over a Personal Injury
You can sue for your personal injury if you can prove that someone else’s reckless or careless behavior was a key factor in causing the accident. The following are all examples of negligence-related accidents:
- A driver speeds through a red light and hits your car.
- A manufacturer designs a dangerous product, and that flaw ends up causing you harm.
- A doctor fails to take your reasonable concerns seriously, and as a result, your medical condition gets worse.
- A property owner does not post warning signs about a slippery spot on their land, and you suffer injuries in a slip and fall accident.
- A trucking company hires an unqualified driver. The driver goes on to make an illegal turn that causes your accident.
Part of our job is to determine exactly how your accident happened, including what specific act(s) of negligence led to the accident. Our legal team must also connect your injuries to the negligent act by, for instance:
- Looking at medical records that show you sought treatment right after the accident
- Disputing any claims the insurance company makes about how your injuries were caused by some other event
- Talking to eyewitnesses who can shed light on what really happened on the day of the incident
Our law firm can also help you deal with any unexpected complications, such as if there is more than one liable party or if the at-fault party committed a hit-and-run.
