- Wrongful DeathWrongful death cases are heart-rending and difficult to navigate because they typically involve family members who have suffered the loss of a loved one. In Virginia, in order to pursue a wrongful death claim and recover damages for the beneficiaries, one has to prove that the death was caused by the defendant’s wrongful conduct and that such conduct created a natural, direct series of events that led to the death.

- Workers CompensationNo. You should seek a doctor based on your personal preference, health insurance benefits, and convenience, not based on your case. Insurance adjusters and jurors are suspicious of doctors who get involved in a client’s treatment as the result of a lawyer’s referral. You should see a doctor that you feel comfortable with and will give you the treatment you need for your injuries. One exception is that if a person has a worker’s compensation claim, usually they have to see the doctor recommended by the workers compensation insurance carrier.

- Property DamageDon’t let the adrenaline from the accident get the best of you. It’s normal to have a rush of adrenaline and experience fight or flight. Do not leave the scene, even if property damage appears minimal and everything seems okay. Call 911 to report the accident and wait for the police to arrive.
