Why Clients Choose Us

You went above and beyond the call of duty for an attorney.
I like to deal with people who are honest and who keep their word. You are that kind of straight shooter.
I would recommend Mr. Shapiro and his staff to other persons who have a personal injury and need help with their situation as I did.
I asked a friend of mine...what attorney would he use [to handle a mesothelioma case] and he immediately said Rick Shapiro. He called Rick on his cell phone and explained our situation and handed me the phone. That connection to the law firm of Shapiro, Cooper, Lewis and Appleton began a relationship of trust and a sense of confidence that we had not experienced before. It was apparent to us that we had the right team fighting for our father.
She returned my calls promptly and everyone at the office was courteous and helpful.
I was really happy with the work that John Cooper did on my auto accident case. We went to mediation and got the case resolved for a good amount which will let me do things to help my financial future like buying a house.

The answers to these accident and injury questions were answered by experienced lawyers who specialize in injury law.

Q: My car was smashed up in the car crash that was not my fault, what can I expect from the insurance company for the other driver on that part of the case?

A: When a person in Virginia is involved in an automobile accident with injuries there are really two separate claims that arise. The first is for the personal injury which is the kind of work that our law firm focuses on. This case is to get you back compensation for your injury, your medicals, your lost wages, your pain and suffering, your permanent injury and everything that's happened to you as far as injuries from the moment of the impact through the time that the case is resolved.

The second aspect of the situation where there's been a car crash is the property damage claim to get the insurance company for the at-fault driver to pay to fix your car and get you a rental car while your car is repaired. To the extent that your car is totaled then the insurance company is responsible to give you a check for the fair market value of your vehicle and a rental car until such time as they give you the check. Normally, if the fault is clear, the property damage part of the case works itself out fairly easily without attorney involvement. We will try to point you in the right direction to help you find a solution to any questions you have about the property damage aspect of the case. When dealing with the insurance company it's okay to sign a release for the property damage as long as it is limited to that. If you have any questions about the handling of your property damage you can ask your personal injury lawyer to help you.

About the editors: The motto at Shapiro, Cooper, Lewis, & Appleton law firm is simple -"All we do is injury law." We hope you were able to find the answer to your injury query.
