Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Virginia

It is essential to hire a personal injury lawyer right away for the following reasons:

  • Severe and/or debilitating injuries leave victims with unexpected medical bills, including treatment, physical therapy, medications, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and follow-up appointments. In many cases, the injury leaves the victim unable to work, drastically reducing or eliminating income.
  • The claims process can be overwhelming – especially in complex cases involving many parties. Regan Zambri Long Personal Injury Lawyers understands the claims process, insurance companies, and Virginia laws. They know the best strategy to pursue your case and make a favorable recovery.
  • Insurance companies are not eager to pay the maximum compensation owed to you. They will send an insurance adjuster who may use manipulation tactics to get you to accept less than you deserve. Insurance companies are also known to delay responding to your case. Instead of spending hours trying to contact the insurance companies, your attorney will communicate on your behalf.
  • The personal injury lawyers at Regan Zambri Long will be able to gather the evidence needed to pursue your case. Our attorneys will collect police reports, speak to witnesses, and review your medical records to get a clear picture of your case. Our attorneys will handle the paperwork, and negotiate with insurance companies so you can have the time to continue your healing process.
  • There may be multiple parties who are liable for the accident. A Virginia personal injury accident lawyer will investigate and identify each party at fault and will pursue a case against one or all of them.

Extremely high medical expenses paired with the loss of income increases stress and anxiety after an accident. Worrying about your bills and negotiating with the insurance company will only hurt your progress. Hiring a Virginia personal injury attorney at Regan Zambri Long can help you focus on what is most important — healing after an accident. Let our lawyers navigate the claims process for you so you recover the maximum compensation owed.

The Most Common Types of Personal Injury Cases in Virginia

Regan Zambri Long handles all kinds of personal injury claims. Some of the most common in Virginia include:

Vehicle Accidents

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles reports that over 127,000 crashes happened in 2023, leaving almost 64,000 victims injured and 907 dead. Nearly 17 percent of those accidents were caused directly by distracted driving. In 2019, the Virginia Patch reported that the most dangerous highway in the state was I-58, with over 45 fatalities from 2015-2017. Drunk driving, speeding, and reckless or aggressive driving are other examples of negligence that causes vehicle accidents.

After a vehicle accident, you should call the authorities, seek medical attention, then contact a Virginia car accident attorney who will speak to insurance companies and negotiate on your behalf.

Regan Zambri Long’s Virginia personal injury lawyers are experienced in all vehicle accidents, including car, motorcycle, boat, bus, ridesharing, and even bicycle and pedestrian accidents. You can schedule a free consultation today to discuss the viability of your case.

Truck Accidents

Virginia highways are a hub for truck drivers who pass through the state on highways I-95, I-81, and I-64. A truck accident can be devastating as the weight of a semi truck with a trailer attached can weigh 80,000 pounds or more. A study found that drowsy drivers may cause 13 percent of commercial vehicle accidents. The Regan Zambri Long Virginia accident attorneys know the state and federal trucking laws and can help guide you in the right direction throughout your claims process. Recently, our lawyers recovered a $15.2 million settlement for their client involved in a truck accident.

Medical Malpractice and Negligence

The National Institute of Health defines medical malpractice as “any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient.” Virginians are fortunate to have nationally ranked hospitals such as the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, and VCU Medical Center in Richmond. However, even with the best, medical malpractice is still the third-leading cause of death in the United States.

Common malpractice and negligence cases include:

  • Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and failure to diagnose
  • Surgical and anesthesia errors
  • Medication errors
  • Birth injuries
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect

It is essential to have a Virginia medical malpractice lawyer to advocate for your rights while pursuing a claim. Regan Zambri Long is experienced with all malpractice cases and can guide you through this traumatic time.

Premises Liability

Businesses and property owners must make sure buildings and properties are safe for all lawful visitors and tenants. Failure to do so can result in personal injuries. Common premises liability claims include:

  • Slips and falls
  • Inadequate or negligent security
  • Dog bites
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Elevator and escalator accidents
  • Poorly maintained equipment

When you or a loved one are injured because of a negligent property owner or business, consult with a Regan Zambri Long Virginia personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to begin your claim.

Product Liability

Consumers have a right to expect that the products they purchase are safe for use or consumption. When designers, manufacturers, or distributors behave negligently, they can be held liable for the harm they cause. Product liability claims can include:

  • Design flaws
  • Manufacturing errors or flaws
  • Contamination during manufacturing or packaging
  • Improper or missing warning labels
  • Deceptive marketing

If you or a loved one are injured because of a faulty product, let Regan Zambri Long’s attorneys take the lead toward your compensation.

Wrongful Death

Any personal injury accident can turn into a wrongful death claim when your loved one dies because of someone else’s negligence. While no compensation can replace your loved one, holding the liable party accountable can be an important factor in your family’s healing and closure. Regan Zambri Long’s attorneys know the devastation of losing a loved one. We will handle your case with compassion and delicacy, while making sure the responsible party is held accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Virginia Personal Injuries

How Much is My VA Personal Injury Case Worth?

There is no way to estimate the exact amount you will receive from your claim as it depends on the severity of the injuries sustained and the amount of property damage. Your attorney will calculate the value based on:

After your accident attorney has calculated the value of your case, they make an initial settlement demand. When you schedule your free consultation, bring any receipts, estimates, or documentation of time away from work and other expenses.

When Should I Hire a Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer?

Virginia’s statute of limitations on personal injury is two years from the date of the accident or discovery of the injury in medical malpractice cases. While this may seem like plenty of time, your attorney will need to investigate and prove your claim, and consult with your doctor and medical experts to understand the maximum physical recovery you are able to make. Calculating the total value of your case, to include future expenses and lost wages, is not something you want to rush through.

An attorney from Regan Zambri Long will make sure your injury case is thoroughly investigated, valued, and filed on time. Schedule your initial consultation today.

Are There Other Grounds for Personal Injury Besides Negligence?

Yes. The first is strict liability, which holds designers and manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by defective products. In these cases, the claimant (the person claiming in the lawsuit) must show that the product was designed or manufactured in a manner that made it unreasonably dangerous to the consumer. The personal injury lawyers at Regan Zambri Long have an extensive background in these cases.

The second premise is intentional wrongs. These are less common than other personal injuries. If someone hits you, you may have a claim for battery. If someone causes deep emotional stress, tries to damage your reputation, or trespasses on your property, you would have an intentional wrongs claim against them. These cases are civil, not criminal, and are more difficult to prove in court. It is important to have a Regan Zambri Long personal injury lawyer on your side.

What Are the Most Common Unintentional Injuries Reported in the Commonwealth?

According to the CDC, slip and falls result in about one-fourth of all emergency room visits annually. Besides motor vehicle accidents, the next cause of hospital visits is unintentional poisoning, which accounted for over 65,000 deaths in 2019. Other accidental injuries are drowning, fire and burns, and suffocation. In many of these situations, negligence can factor in– including lack of supervision at daycares, swimming pools, and other places where someone is responsible for the safety of others. If you have been affected by an unintentional injury, the attorneys at Regan Zambri Long can help you reach the settlement you deserve.
