Traffic Accidents
If you are injured in an car accident that was caused by someone else, you have a right to financial compensation. You are entitled to money for property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, inconvenience, embarrassment, humiliation, disability, disfiguration and medical bills. Virginia law states you must be fully compensated for your injury. There is no substitute for independent legal advice when you have been in a car accident. We can answer your questions in a confidential manner, and then you can decide whether you need a car accident attorney.
Defective Products
Some accidents are caused by products that contain hidden defects. In such cases, anyone who manufactured or sold the product may be liable for the accident. Please call for a free consultation if you have been injured by a dangerous product.
Auto Insurance Claims
After a car accident, you might be in unfamiliar territory. Our Arlington Car Accident Attorneys deal with claims adjusters, insurance policies, and uninsured motorist cases everyday. Insurance companies are not obligated to explain your legal rights to you. We explain the law and the process to our clients and manage the case so that they can return to more important things.
Slip and Fall
Unfortunately, accidental falls often result in terrible injuries, and there is generally no police report. Therefore, collecting evidence as soon as possible is critical. We have experience investigating and preserving evidence in slip and fall accident cases. Do not rely on the property manager to protect you.
Tips on Buying Auto Insurance
"Full Coverage" is not always full coverage, because it does not describe whether you have enough uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or med pay coverage. The most important reason to insure with high liability limits is to protect yourself from uninsured drivers. As a default rule, your UM coverage mirrors your liability coverage. The most important thing you can do to protect your family is to have high liablity and UM limits, have adequate "med pay" coverage, and never agree to reduced UM coverage. Having enough insurance coverage is cheaper than you think and can protect you when you need it.

Fairfax Sued for Police Shooting
November 18, 2011: A Manassas lawyer has sued Fairfax County, its police department and the officer who shot and killed David Masters, an unarrmed motorist, just making the two-year deadline for filing a civil lawsuit. The suit names Masters’s ex-wife and stepdaughter as the plaintiffs. The women never consented to filing the lawsuit, and the lawyer says he will take steps to have them substitued if they do not join the lawsuit.

Important US Supreme Court Personal Injury Decision:
February 23, 2011: The US Supreme Court has made two important personal injury rulings this week concerning whether federal law can stop or “preempt” lawsuits brought under state law. In the first case, the Court unanimously held that compliance with federal seatbelt regulations doesn’t shield an auto manufacturer from state court lawsuits claiming it should have installed a safer belt. The regulation is a floor, not a ceiling. In the second case, the Court ruled that federal law shields vaccine makers from state court lawsuits seeking damages for injuries caused by a vaccine. The court ruled differently in the cases because in the vaccine case congress set up a process to specifically compensate victims of vaccine related injuries, and in the seatbelt case, there was no such compensation scheme. In the vaccine case, the victims sued in state court after their claim was denied by the group congress designated to hear such claims.
