Car Accident Settlement
$900,000

How Our Charlottesville Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help
Navigating a personal injury claim without a lawyer is risky, especially in Virginia, where the contributory negligence rule can bar recovery if you’re even 1% at fault. Our attorneys at Warren Law Firm level the playing field by:
Investigating Thoroughly: We gather evidence like police reports, traffic camera footage from Route 250, and expert testimony to prove the other party’s negligence.
Calculating Full Damages: We assess medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, and pain and suffering to ensure no compensation is overlooked.
Negotiating Aggressively: Our insurance defense experience helps us counter lowball offers and biased fault claims from insurers.
Handling Deadlines: We ensure all filings meet Virginia’s two-year statute of limitations to protect your claim.
Trial-Ready Advocacy: If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we’re prepared to fight for you in Albemarle County courts.
A client injured in a truck accident on Route 20 faced an insurer claiming 50% fault. Our investigation revealed the trucking company’s safety violations, reducing our client’s fault and securing a six-figure settlement. Don’t let insurers undervalue your claim—let us protect your rights.
Understanding Virginia’s Personal Injury Laws
Virginia’s laws can significantly impact your case:
Contributory Negligence: If you’re even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovery, making skilled legal representation critical (Va. Code § 8.01-58).
Statute of Limitations: You have two years from the injury date to file a lawsuit, with exceptions for minors or medical malpractice.
Damage Caps: Punitive damages are capped at $350,000, but compensatory damages like medical bills have no limit.
Our attorneys leverage these laws to your advantage, using evidence like dashcam footage or expert testimony to overcome contributory negligence challenges.
Steps to Take After an Accident in Charlottesville
To strengthen your claim, act quickly:
Seek Medical Attention: Visit UVA Medical Center or a local doctor, even for minor injuries, to document your condition.
Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident site, injuries, and damage. Collect witness contacts and obtain a police report.
Avoid Insurance Traps: Don’t give recorded statements or accept quick settlements without consulting us.

Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault? Virginia’s contributory negligence rule is strict, but it’s possible to reduce clients’ fault in cases like distracted driving by proving the other party’s violations.
How much is my case worth? Compensation depends on medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We ensure all damages are included for maximum recovery.
How long will my case take? Simple cases may settle in months; complex cases or trials can take a year or more. We work efficiently to resolve your case.
What if my case doesn’t go to trial? Most cases settle out of court. We negotiate to ensure settlements reflect your full damages.
