Personal injury claims are challenging for accident victims for several reasons.
Victims usually have physical injuries to heal from. These can include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, neck and spine injuries, and more. Medical treatment occupies a lot of a victim’s time following an accident. Surgeries, physical therapy, and doctor appointments are a few examples of what an injured person might face after an accident.
In addition, victims often have to deal with property damage, collect estimates, and arrange repairs.
When you hire a Fairfax personal injury attorney from Regan Zambri Long, they will take the complicated processes of your claim.
An attorney will deal with insurance companies on your behalf. Insurance adjusters will investigate your case to determine fault and liability. Unfortunately, the liable party’s insurance provider will do everything possible to deny your claim. Your lawyer is your greatest ally in recovering the financial compensation you deserve.
An experienced personal injury law firm is invaluable when calculating your claim’s worth. Some damages are easily quantifiable, while others require a knowledgeable attorney’s experience.
Additionally, Virginia adheres to a strict contributory negligence rule. Contributory negligence states that the negligent party must be 100 percent responsible for a personal injury victim’s damages to be held liable. Regan Zambri Long has decades of experience with contributory negligence and can protect you from undue liability.
Virginia gives accident victims two years to file a personal injury claim. If you try to file after this statute of limitations has expired, your claim will be denied.
Two years may seem like plenty of time. However, your legal team must investigate and collect evidence to prove your claim. Additionally, your medical provider will need time to understand the extent of your injuries and the fullest physical recovery you can make.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer will ensure your case is filed within Virginia’s statute of limitations.
Regan Zambri Long’s Virginia attorneys handle all types of injury cases. If another person’s negligence caused your accident, we can represent you. If you are unsure about the validity of your claim, schedule a free consultation to discuss your case and legal options.
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of personal injury cases throughout the United States. The Fairfax Police Department’s annual report noted 522 reportable accidents in 2023.
Car accidents can range from mild to severe. Common injuries can include concussions, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. When vehicles and cyclists or pedestrians collide, the result can be catastrophic for the injured party.
Commercial vehicle accidents tend to result in catastrophic injuries. This is due to the size and weight discrepancies between vehicles. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles reported 5,785 crashes involving commercial motor vehicles in 2023.
Semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other large commercial vehicles must adhere to federal safety regulations. The question of employee versus independent contractor can complicate these cases. However, the truck accident lawyers at Regan Zambri Long will ensure your case is brought against all responsible parties.
You are entitled to safe, quality medical care. Unfortunately, errors and mistakes occur even in the best facilities. When medical malpractice happens, the provider and facility must be held accountable. Regan Zambri Long handles various medical malpractice and negligence cases, including:
We will prove that your healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care you deserve. We establish liability with medical records and testimony from medical experts. The legal process of a malpractice claim can be overwhelming. But Regan Zambri Long will be beside you every step of the way.
Product liability claims often involve defective or dangerous products. A product manufacturer or distributor can be held liable for faulty products, which can include failure to provide proper warning labels, poorly designed products, and poorly made products.
Toys, prepackaged food, and mechanical parts are common faulty products.
Property owners and businesses are responsible for ensuring their premises are safe. Dog bites, slippery surfaces, and uneven walkways are common causes of premises liability cases. Slips and falls can cause severe injuries, especially for the elderly. The negligent party must provide compensation for damages.
Sometimes, another person’s negligence results in the wrongful death of a loved one. While no monetary compensation can replace a person, it can ease the financial burden of funeral and burial costs.
Wrongful death claims are heartbreaking. The last thing grieving families need is to deal with insurance claims and a personal injury lawsuit. Regan Zambri Long will handle your wrongful death lawsuit with compassion and gentleness.

Legal fees are an understandable stress for many accident victims. With medical bills and property damage repairs mounting, the idea of paying a lawyer can seem prohibitive. But you should not allow that to deter you from seeking legal advice.
Some lawyers charge flat fees for a case, while others charge hourly. At Regan Zambri Long, our legal team works on a contingency fee basis. This allows our clients to receive the best legal help possible without being financially burdened by it. Our clients don’t pay anything until we’ve made a recovery in their favor.
Accident victims are entitled to compensation for all their losses. These include:
To calculate the value of economic damages, your lawyer will collect any bills and receipts directly related to your accident. They will use this information and information from your medical provider to determine how much your future medical expenses may be. They will also help you determine how much you have lost and will lose in wages. Economic damages encompass all your direct financial losses.
Calculating the value of non-economic damages is harder. Your attorney will probably use a damage calculator to place a value on your pain and suffering and other damages. The more severe the accident, the higher the value of your non-economic damages.
If your lawsuit goes to a jury trial, the jury can award punitive damages. This payment is a punishment against the liable party and is up to the jury’s discretion. Virginia law states that punitive damages must not exceed $350,000.
