Frequently Asked Questions

In most Virginia cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim.

Your employer typically provides a panel of at least three approved physicians. Choosing correctly from this panel is very important because it can affect your benefits and work restrictions.

You can still pursue a Virginia workers’ compensation claim. Jurisdiction usually depends on where the injury occurred or where the employer is located.

Usually no. Workers’ compensation is typically the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, you may have a separate third-party claim (for example, against a negligent driver or equipment manufacturer).

Virginia follows pure contributory negligence, meaning if you are even 1% at fault in a personal injury case, you may be barred from recovery. This makes strong legal representation especially important.

Simple claims may resolve in a few months, but disputed cases can take 6–18 months or longer, especially if hearings are required.

Be cautious. Adjusters often seek recorded statements that may be used to reduce your claim. Speaking with an attorney first is usually wise.

Hear it From Our Clients

I was out driving when a girl pulled out right in front of me to make a left turn. She said the sun was in her eyes and she couldn’t see me. I hit her head on.

We both went down a ditch. I hit a sign. I had a concussion and cervical and lumbar damage to my spine. The insurance company didn’t want to cover me. They were blaming my pain on pre-existing conditions, though I had healed quite well. This accident exacerbated everything, so Jon fought hard for me. He straightened them out.

You know, dealing with lawyers and cops – it can be intimidating. But Jon and Tori were not at all like that. They were like friends. And they were good at communication. If I asked Tori a question, she would get back to me in minutes. Even if she didn’t yet have the answer, she would still confirm that she got my message and would get back to me. They were so awesome.

I can’t describe the amount of relief that came over me when I received the $79,890.30 that was deposited in my bank account today. You helped me through a really tough time and I’m very grateful for your help! Not too many attorneys would take the time to understand their clients life outside of a courtroom. But you did! You heard my concerns loud and clear and for that I’m grateful! I can’t express my gratitude enough, to you and of course to Kimberly! “Behind the scenes” you have the best assistance that anyone could dream of, of course, it was due to you being the best lawyer that anyone could have!
