Securing Compensation for the Injured in Virginia
There are many lawyers in Virginia who handle personal injury cases. However, there are much fewer lawyers who have experience actually trying cases in court.
At the law firm of Shuttleworth, Ruloff, Swain, Haddad & Morecock, P.C. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, our reputation with insurance companies is such that they realize we will try a case in court if they offer our client a settlement that is unfair or inadequate. Our lawyers represent individuals and families in serious injury and wrongful death claims resulting from negligence of all types, including:
- Auto accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle and other motor vehicle accident claims

- Product liability, including injuries caused by defective consumer or industrial products

Under Virgina law, our lawyers can help you recover money damages for past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, inconvenience, humiliation and embarrassment, disfigurement, and effect on your health (whether temporary or permanent).
Contributory negligence: Virginia law bars compensation any Plaintiff whose own negligence was a cause of his injury. Insurance companies will act quickly to obtain statements from injured persons to try to build a defense of contributory negligence.
