An experienced Personal Injury Law Firm, Johnson Ford Law will make sure that your case is handled in a professional and caring manner.

Your case will be handled personally by an experienced attorney, not just a paralegal like many other firms. We are aware of the frustration of dealing with insurance companies. Because civil and personal injury litigation can be time-consuming and exhausting, our office will handle even the smallest tasks for clients: picking up paperwork, tracking deadlines, updating clients at every step so that no details are lost and all angles are understood.

No one plans for an injury. It usually happens often through no fault of your own. The sudden onset of medical bills, lost wages or lost employment, no to mention constant pain and inability to live a normal life for several weeks. It can be a nightmare!

Should I speak with the Insurance Adjuster?

After a car accident, a representative of the negligent party's auto insurance company will likely call and make a settlement offer within a few days of your car accident. Please remember that most soft tissue injuries don't show symptoms until a few days after the accident. Signing a release of your personal injury claim, in exchange for a check, will extinguish your personal injury claim forever. Keep in mind that insurance companies are businesses. They are in business to make PROFITS, not be altruistic care takers. Even if the insurance company makes what you believe is a reasonable settlement offer, it is in your best interest to contact experienced car accident attorneys, like Johnson Ford Law, to have them evaluate your case and the insurance company's offer.

What constitutes a personal injury claim?

The most common grounds, in cases not related to criminal acts, involve negligent torts where the wrongful acts of one person or on the part of a company cause injury to another.

These include accidents of many kinds which cause personal injuries:

• Auto accidents

• Motorcycle accidents

• Trucking accidents

• Pedestrian accidents

• Premesis liability (slip and fall) accidents

• Boating accidents

• Intentional Torts (injured during a fight)

Car accidents can cause serious and sometimes devastating injuries. These can range from cuts, bruises, and soft tissue injuries to catastrophic injuries including head, neck, spinal cord and brain injury, and the worst possible scenario, wrongful death.

What to do once in an accident

How will I pay my medical bills? How will I support my family while I recover? These are some of the questions people injured in auto accidents ask themselves. A car accident attorney can help by providing answers to these questions and by offering advice regarding your legal rights and remedies when you are involved in a car accident or any other type of accident.

Under Virginia law, you may have the right to recover monetary damages if you have been injured in a car accident through the negligence or recklessness of another person. Damages may include reimbursement or compensation for:

• Medical costs

• Property loss

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering (past and future)
