medical costs. Epperly & Follis, P.C. lawyers

laws and our experience has taught us to recognize the
hidden complexities in many claims. Our skilled legal team
will gather, prepare and present the evidence that is
critical to winning your claim.
Accident victims include:
- Drivers of vehicles involved in accidents where another driver was at fault.
- Passengers in vehicle accidents whose driver or the driver of another vehicle was to blame.
- Pedestrians hit by vehicles.
- Cyclists hit by motorists.
Accident injuries range from minor to serious and permanent. If you are one of the people injured in an automobile accident, your physical trauma is probably compounded by the uncertainties of your financial future. How will you pay medical bills and make up for lost income? While insurance is designed to address these economic issues, insurance is first and foremost a business. What is best for you is not necessarily in the insurance company's best interest. Insurance companies have a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose goal is to minimize the amount of money that they pay to accident victims. While you are recovering from the initial shock of the accident, those at fault may have already notified their insurance company, which will immediately try to minimize their payout. Simultaneously, your insurance company is also trying to limit their exposure. Doesn't it make sense that you have a competent accident attorney on your team who will represent your interests?
A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will act as your representative to the insurance companies and others involved in the compensation process. It is important that you not communicate with the other party's insurance representatives until you have consulted an attorney. Do not settle for less than fair compensation.
The Commonwealth of Virginia is a "tort" state, meaning that vehicle operators are liable for any damage or injury they cause in a vehicle accident. In general, it is best to consult an attorney and seek damages against the driver of a motor vehicle under these circumstances:
- There was a fatality.
- Bones were broken or fractured.
- There is permanent and serious injury or disfigurement.
- Medical bills and damages exceed $2,000.
If you are eligible for damages, your compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. Proving negligence takes the investment of time, experience and resources - advantages that only a qualified attorney can provide.
If you have suffered injury or loss, please call us to have your case evaluated. Epperly & Follis, P.C. lawyers appreciate that accident victims are often overwhelmed and suffering from their injuries - emotional, physical and financial.
