Welcome to the
Automobile Accidents homepage for Epperly & Follis,
P.C. The attorneys in our Automobile Accidents group are
committed to ensuring that victims of traffic accidents
receive fair compensation. We recommend that you contact a
physician and an attorney following an accident, because
seemingly minor car accidents can cause prolonged pain and
medical costs. Epperly & Follis, P.C. lawyers
understand the unique provisions of the vehicle accident
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.

accident victims are often overwhelmed and suffering from
their injuries - emotional, physical and financial.
