When Should You Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

You may benefit from hiring a lawyer if:

You Suffered Serious Injuries: Significant medical expenses, long-term treatment, or permanent disabilities can affect your life in many ways, and an attorney can help you obtain compensation that will address the full impact of your injuries.
Liability Is Disputed: When the other driver denies fault or the insurance company tries to blame you for the accident, our lawyer can work to establish liability and protect your right to recover damages.
Multiple Parties Are Involved: Accidents involving several vehicles may involve complex liability issues based on how fault is assigned. Truck accidents or other collisions involving commercial vehicles may involve multiple liable parties, and a variety of legal concerns may play a role in these cases. To make sure your rights will be protected, representation from an experienced attorney can be essential in these situations.
The Insurance Company Is Uncooperative: To limit the amounts they will be required to pay out, insurance companies may make low settlement offers, or they may deny or delay claims. Legal representation can level the playing field, ensuring that you will be treated fairly.
You Are Unsure About the Value of Your Claim: You may not realize the full extent of the damages you have suffered, but you deserve to be fully compensated for all of the ways your life has been affected. Our lawyer can calculate all of your damages, including future medical costs and pain and suffering, to ensure you will not receive less than you deserve.

How Our Attorney Can Help After a Leesburg Car Accident

When you work with Whitlock Law, you will have an advocate who can guide you through each step of the legal process. Our lawyer can assist by:

Investigating the Accident: We will gather evidence that can be used to establish exactly what happened and who was responsible. This evidence may include police reports, witness statements, footage from nearby security cameras, and crash reconstruction analysis.
Establishing Liability: We will take steps to prove that another driver's negligent actions directly caused your injuries.
Calculating Your Damages: We will gather the necessary documentation of your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other damages you have suffered, including your physical and emotional pain and suffering.
Handling Insurance Claims: We will deal directly with insurance companies, ensuring that you will not have to worry about negotiations with adjusters or other issues that could affect your claim.
Litigating Your Case: If the insurer refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, or if other steps need to be taken to ensure that you will be able to recover compensation, we can provide you with effective representation in court. We will fight to maximize your compensation.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

Addressing Legal Issues That May Arise After a Car Accident

As you take steps to address the injuries and damages that have occurred in a car accident, a variety of complex legal concerns may need to be addressed, including:

Contributory Negligence: Under Virginia law, if you are found to be partially at fault for an accident, you may be unable to recover compensation. Our lawyer can work to refute any allegations of fault made against you.
Statute of Limitations: Victims generally have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury claim in Virginia. Missing this deadline can result in losing the right to recover damages. We will make sure your claim is filed within the applicable time limits.
Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers: If the driver responsible for causing an accident was uninsured, you may still have options for recovering compensation. Our attorney will work with you to file a claim through your own insurance company so that you can receive compensation.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
