Representing Car Accident Victims in Virginia
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, Virginia law allows a judge or jury to award compensation for damages such as lost wages, past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, disfigurement, effect on your health, and property damage.
At the law firm of Shuttleworth, Ruloff, Swain, Haddad & Morecock, P.C. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, our auto accident attorneys have the knowledge to protect your rights, negotiate with insurance companies, and try your case if necessary to obtain fair compensation. We will obtain the relevant medical records from hospitals and treating physicians to best prepare our client's case and obtain the best possible result from settlement or trial.
Prompt investigation of your car accident claim: As a part of our investigation to prove negligence of the person(s) who caused injury or death, we routinely obtain police accident reports, interviews from the investigating police officers and other witnesses, as well as depositions under oath.
