Personal Injuries in Richmond, VA 

You may be entitled to compensation if you are hurt in an accident or incident that is not your own fault. Since 1973, our firm has fought insurance companies to obtain money damages for thousands of injured clients. We are ready to help you with your personal injury case.

Premises liability

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for people who use them. These premises include homes, apartments, vacant land, stores, office buildings, schools, playgrounds, amusement parks, movie theaters, pools, hotels and other businesses. The responsibilities extend to both outdoor and indoor property. We represent those who sustain injuries as the result of:

• Slips and falls
• Trips and falls
• Fire damages
• Asbestos
• Legionnaire’s Disease
• Dog bites

Medical malpractice

All medical providers are held to a recognized standard of care for treatment in their area of practice. If you receive treatment that is not up to this standard of care and you sustain an injury as a result, you may have a medical malpractice case for which you can be compensated.

Scrutinizing your medical records

In preparation for your meeting with us, it is helpful to have a complete copy of your medical records from all treating medical professionals. We know what to look for in our thorough review of those reports, enabling us to give an opinion about the potential damages and chances for ultimate success in your case. These records include:

• Treatment notes from before and after the alleged malpractice
• Medical charts
• Hospital records
• Diagnostic test reports and films

We fight hard for clients who have suffered from medical malpractice resulting in these conditions and more:

• Amputations
• Brain and head injuries
• Burns
• Childbirth complications and injuries
• Eye injuries
• Failure to properly diagnose
• Foreign objects left in the body after surgery

We limit our medical malpractice cases to those involving permanent or fatal injury.

Lead poisoning

Federal law requires landlords and homeowners to disclose to tenants or potential buyers the presence of lead based paint on the premises. When they do not properly disclose this information and a renter or buyer is later diagnosed with lead poisoning, we hold landlords and previous owners accountable by making them pay damages for the injuries sustained. Note that pregnant women and young children are especially susceptible to serious and prolonged injuries from lead paint poisoning.

Products liability

Manufacturers and distributors owe a duty to the public to make sure that their products are not inherently dangerous or defective when used for the purpose intended. When a product causes injury or death through no fault of the user, the manufacturer or distributor may have to pay damages. It is extremely important to consult with us immediately. To analyze your case, it is imperative that you preserve the item in the exact same condition that it was in at the time of the accident. We recommend that you:

• Take photographs of the product
• Keep all manuals, brochures and instructions
• Save purchase receipts or other proof of purchase
• Do not speak to the manufacturer or its insurance company
