Why Reach out to a Virginia Beach Personal Injury Lawyer?

A Virginia Beach personal injury lawyer is the legal expert you need if someone else’s negligence has cost you. A personal injury case can range from a terrible car accident that leaves you with medical bills to defamation incidents that cost you money because of reputation damage.

Whatever the particular situation is, a personal injury case may seem simple but can become complicated quickly. You may be facing a large insurance company or a business’s entire legal team. Don’t try to go it alone. Rely on a personal injury lawyer for these reasons:

• A local lawyer knows the state laws but also the experts who can help make your case and the defense lawyers working in Virginia Beach.
• The right personal injury lawyer has experience working with victims of personal injury. They are compassionate in how they help clients who are suffering.
• Personal injury lawyers are also trial lawyers. They can negotiate a settlement but also take your case to court to force a jury verdict.
• You may be able to get payment from an insurer, but a lawyer can likely get you more.
• Hiring a personal injury lawyer signals to the defendants, insurance companies, and other lawyers that you are serious and won’t back down.

Real Virginia Beach Personal Injury Cases

Your personal injury case is unique. Even the best Virginia Beach lawyer can’t predict the outcome even if they can give you the best chance of a win. To get an idea of what could happen in your case, it helps to look at recent, local personal injury lawsuits.

Two very recent cases involve serious injuries and tragic wrongful death. In both cases, the plaintiffs’ lawyers were able to get settlements. In one of these, a woman received a $250,000 settlement after suffering broken bones in a tractor-trailer accident in Virginia Beach.[1] In the other instance, a woman died after a dog attack. Her daughter received a settlement of $1 million to compensate for the terrible and traumatic loss of her mother.[2]

Another case that ended in the victim’s death initially resulted in a $6 million verdict for the deceased’s family. Joseph Chen, a trucker, died after winds blew his rig off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) in 2016. In 2020 a jury awarded his widow the verdict against the CBBT. Unfortunately, as sometimes is the case, a judge dismissed it. The judge determined that the CBBT’s protocol for stopping traffic on windy days may be problematic but that officials followed it correctly that day.[3]

These cases indicate that there are wins and losses for victims of personal injuries. To have the best chance of getting a settlement or a verdict that sticks, contact an experienced Virginia Beach personal injury lawyer.
