“I kept thinking about the car payment. They explained that part first, and I slept that night.”
Vera D.Car crash claim
Injury lawyers in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Newport News
Hurt, and wondering what happens next?
Your car, your paycheck, your house, your kids. Start with the worry that keeps you up and we’ll tell you plainly where it stands. Three offices around Hampton Roads, and a lawyer who comes to you when getting out is hard.
Start where it hurts
What happens to my car, my pay, my kids?
Pick the one that’s keeping you up. Each answer is short, and none of them need a lawyer’s vocabulary.
My car
Repairs, a rental, and who pays while it sits in the shop. We take the insurance calls so you aren’t the one on hold.
Car crash claimsMy paycheck
If you can’t work, the bills still come. We’ll show you what to write down from the first day so lost wages are counted.
See how a claim movesMy medical bills
Who pays the hospital and the therapist while the claim is open, and what to say when a bill collector calls.
Questions about billsMy house
Rent or a mortgage on a smaller income, for what may be months. We plan around the real month, not the best case.
Planning the monthsMy kids
Rides, school pickups, someone to watch them while you heal. Your recovery plan should include the people who depend on you.
When a parent is hurtMy part in it
Maybe you think you were partly to blame. Tell us anyway. That alone doesn’t always end a claim, and rules vary by state.
Fault and your claim
In the first week
Questions people ask us before anything else
Do I owe anything to talk with you?
No. The first conversation is free. If we take your case, our fee is a share of what we recover, set out in writing before you sign. Case costs, like records and expert reports, are explained in that same agreement, including whether you owe them if nothing is recovered.
The other driver’s insurer keeps calling. Should I talk to them?
You can decline a recorded statement until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Give your name and your claim number, and let us handle the rest. Nothing you say to an adjuster is off the record.
I don’t feel that bad yet. Is it too soon to call?
Not at all. Pain often shows up days later. See a doctor, keep every record, and call us whenever you’re ready. A call just to ask what to save is fine.
Will I have to go to court?
Most claims are settled without a trial. We prepare each one as though it might go to court, because that is what makes a fair offer more likely.
Can you come to me?
Yes. If you’re in a hospital room or can’t drive, a lawyer will meet you at home or by video. You never have to cross a tunnel to start.
Three offices
On either side of the water
Hampton Roads is a lot of bridges and tunnels between one hospital and the next. We keep an office in Norfolk, another in Virginia Beach and a third in Newport News, so a lawyer is never a long drive away.
Whoever you reach first, your file is open to all three of us. You won’t explain it twice.

Notes from clients, in their own words
“Nobody rushed me. When I wasn’t sure, the answer was to wait and ask the doctor first.”
Zeke H.Motorcycle crash claim
“They came to my house when I couldn’t drive. That one thing told me who I was dealing with.”
Sunita A.Injury claim
Each client’s case is different. What one person experienced doesn’t predict what will happen in yours.
Start with one honest call.
A short call is the easiest way in. We’ll listen first, then say what we can do and what we can’t.
Talking with us costs nothing. If we take your case, the fee and any case costs are explained in writing before you sign.
