Personal Injury
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury because of someone else’s carelessness, you should not have to carry the burden alone. Medical bills, time away from work, and the stress of recovery can be overwhelming. The Law Office of Marie Washington, PLC represents injured people across Virginia and works to recover the full compensation they are owed.
Every injury case is different, and the value of a claim depends on the specific facts. Our Firm takes the time to understand how an injury has affected your health, your finances, and your daily life, then builds a case aimed at recovering for losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, future care, and pain and suffering.
Matters We Handle
- Automobile, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip, trip, and fall and other premises liability claims
- Dog bites and animal-related injuries
- Injuries caused by negligent or reckless conduct
- Wrongful death claims on behalf of surviving family members
Insurance companies move quickly after an accident, and an early settlement offer is rarely the full measure of what a claim is worth. Before you sign anything or give a recorded statement, it is worth speaking with an attorney who represents you rather than the insurer. Our Firm will deal with the adjusters, handle the paperwork, and protect your interests so you can focus on getting well.
Time matters in Virginia. Personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations, and Virginia follows a strict contributory negligence rule that can affect your right to recover. Because deadlines and defenses vary with the facts of each case, it is important to consult an attorney promptly rather than wait.
If you are not sure whether you have a claim, the best first step is a conversation. Our Firm will listen to what happened, explain your options in plain language, and help you decide how to move forward.
