Our Chesterfield County lawyers have the knowledge and experience to represent clients in many different types of personal injury cases. For example, we often represent clients who suffer catastrophic injury from the following events or situations:
Your first priority after a catastrophic accident should be to contact emergency responders and seek immediate medical attention. Reporting the incident is essential for establishing a record and collecting information about who may be liable for your damages. Then, seek immediate medical evaluation and treatment to identify all related injuries and to mitigate their damage, if possible. We also recommend meeting with an experienced Chesterfield County lawyer soon after an incident to begin the process of enforcing your legal right to a personal injury claim for damages. During a free initial consultation, our lawyers can begin to review the events that caused your injury and take the next steps in pursuing a personal injury case.
We understand the challenges of recovering from a serious personal injury or loss in your family. Working early with a lawyer allows you to focus more on your family and health while we manage the administrative duties of advancing your case. These steps may include additional investigation into the cause of your injury, communication with adverse parties, and consultation with experts before filing a claim in court. Our clients never wonder about the status of their case because our firm prides itself on responsive communication. We contact clients with updates every 30 days and provide access to an app where you can check on the status of your case.
Victims of personal injury in Chesterfield County can pursue compensation for several types of damages with the help of a lawyer. The amount recovered will be unique to the nature of their injury, their personal circumstances, and how that injury impacts their life. We detail every damage in your case to advocate for the full recovery of compensation. Examples of these damages may include the following:
Some cases may settle out of court, while other cases require going to trial to pursue maximum compensation. Our lawyers always welcome the opportunity to fight for a client’s right to recovery at trial when necessary. However, the decision to settle or continue litigation always belongs to the client. Our goal is to help clients fully understand the potential value of their claim and the risks of a trial, so they can make a well-informed decision.
The other reason to meet with a Chesterfield lawyer soon after an accident is to determine your filing deadline under the state’s statute of limitations. You generally have two years from the date of the events causing your injury to file a civil claim for compensation under Virginia Code § 8.01-243. Timely filing a claim is necessary to avoid a dismissal of your case, which will prevent you from recovering compensation.
Seeking justice after an injury is not just about financial compensation—it is about getting your life back and making sure those responsible are held accountable for their actions. At Latham & Martin Accident and Injury Attorneys, we understand the emotional, physical, and financial strain of personal injuries.
