- Medical Payments Coverage in Virginia: What Your Car Insurance Company Must Offer
Before you talk to another lawyer or speak with an insurance adjuster about your car accident, watch our informative videos and download our free consumer guides.
You've been hurt in a car wreck and think you might have a claim against the other driver. Your medical bills are stacking up and insurance adjusters keep calling. This is why you need legal representation. Remember, the insurance company does not represent you, and if they know that you don't have an attorney looking out for your interests, they will do everything possible to minimize their financial obligations.
Our law firm will do our best to help ease the burden of this traumatic situation and work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our injury firm has obtained millions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts for clients seriously injured in Virginia, Carolina and West Virginia car accidents.
Be sure to check out our free guide telling you what you need to know about car accidents in the Commonwealth. Our “Best Guide” answers all of your questions, is easy reading, and covers your legal rights against negligent drivers plus much more. We also have a video library on car accidents, articles on car/motorcycle accidents, and results from car crash and motorcycle wreck cases our firm has handled.
If you're curious about the extent of our experience in this area of injury law, here's a sampling of the types of cases and issues we've dealt with over the years:
- Uninsured motorist claims
- Motorcycle crashes
- Truck and semi-tractor trailer accidents in VA & WV
- Improper/runaway trailer wrecks
- Train/railroad/crossing accidents
- Drunk driving wrecks
- Bus crashes
- Rental car collisions
- Pedestrian/crosswalk accidents
- Hit and run accidents
- ATV wrecks
- Bicycle accidents
- Moped and scooter wrecks
- Taxi cab and limousine crashes
Serious injuries can arise from all types of accidents. In cases involving death/fatalities, the families of a person killed can file a wrongful death claim under state laws, whether this occurs in Virginia or any other state. Our lawyers handle all types of injuries, including:
- Spinal cord injuries, including quadraplegia and paraplegia
- Traumatic brain injury, closed head injury, concussions
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back injuries, including herniated discs
- Neck injuries, including ruptured discs
- Shoulder injuries
- Knee injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Burn injuries
- Amputation injury
It’s because of the sheer numbers of drivers in America that car insurance is a requirement. But while the states make sure that everyone on the road has at least minimum coverage, they do a very poor job in making sure that the insurance companies themselves live up to their financial obligations. On what is quite literally a daily basis, insurance companies delay payment, offer insufficient settlements before the crash victims fully understand the extent of their damages, or sometimes simply flat out deny any claims made against them. And this is how they act when they are dealing with their own policyholders. They are even worse when it comes to the claims of those that don’t have policies with them.
If you have been in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you can be sure that it will be an uphill battle. If the accident resulted in extensive physical injuries, the insurer will make the process as difficult as possible. They will extend every effort in order to minimize their responsibility. Having an attorney that understands both liability law and how the insurance companies operate is a must.
Our firm is dedicated to fighting for just compensation for damages, including:
Medical bills: This includes more than just handling the charges for your initial stay in the hospital. This also means expenses for physical therapy or any extended treatment that you might need. If your injury is permanent, you may face a lifetime of continuing expenses for pain control medicine, treatment of chronic symptoms and procedures for flare-ups.
Lost wages/loss of future earnings: Loss of wages/lost wage damages relate to the fact that the victim was unable to work while recovering from the accident. Loss of future earnings comes into play if the accident leaves the victim unable to continue at their current job. The loss of future earnings or loss of earning capacity often requires a vocational expert to prove what amount of money is needed to replace the stream of income and benefits the victim will likely not get as a result of a permanent impairment.
Emotional distress: This would occur if the accident caused the victim to be unable to enjoy a facet of his or her life that was important before the accident. For example, if a person who has played the piano his entire life gets in an accident and loses three of his fingers, he has lost something that he has done his entire life. These types of loss of quality of life damages go beyond regular pain and suffering. The insurer will not fairly pay on such personal anguish unless the facts are properly presented to them which usually requires an injury attorney who asks the right questions, listens to the client, and takes to time to fully develop the claim.
