Filing a Personal Injury Claim: What You Need to Know

At Breit Biniazan, our personal injury lawyers are here to make your voice heard. When you hire us, we’ll work tirelessly to build a compelling case that maximizes recoveries.

Defining Personal Injury Cases

When one person suffers harm because of another person’s negligence, the responsible party may be legally liable for damages. In a personal injury lawsuit, the injured party can demand compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.

To receive recoveries, the plaintiff must prove that:

The other party was negligent
This negligence caused the respective injury
The injury resulted in damages or losses

Breit Biniazan’s team of Virginia personal injury lawyers can offer a free case evaluation to determine the viability of your lawsuit. From there, our firm will gather evidence and research to prove negligence.

Determining the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases

In the state of Virginia, plaintiffs must file a personal injury claim within a specific timeframe. This is called the statute of limitations.

For personal injury cases, a claim must be submitted within two years from the date of the injury. There are some exceptions, however. For example, if you developed a heart condition because of on-the-job chemical exposure, you have two years from the date you learned your illness resulted from your job to file a claim.

If you’re worried that you waited too long to recover damages, a personal injury lawyer can help you determine what legal options are available to you.

Calculating Damages for Personal Injury Cases

At Breit Biniazan, we understand that no amount of money will justify the physical and emotional trauma you have endured. A financial settlement also won’t bring back a deceased loved one. However, compensation can help your family move forward.

When you meet with an experienced personal injury attorney in Virginia, they’ll assign a monetary value to your personal injury damages. This dollar amount considers factors including:

Medical expenses: Total cost of your medical treatment, including projections for future medical bills
Loss of income: Sum of wages lost because of the accident as well as the loss of future earnings
Pain and suffering: Subjective, non-monetary losses related to a decrease in quality of life

Calculating economic and non-economic damages can be overwhelming, especially in the wake of a traumatic accident.

Let our expert personal injury lawyers in Virginia do the legwork for you, securing a settlement that will better your family’s future. Give Breit Biniazan a call at (855) 496-2462 to schedule your free case evaluation.

Paying for a Personal Injury Lawyer

A catastrophic injury often spells financial ruin. Unable to work, many people rely on credit cards and high-interest loans to feed their children and pay mounting medical bills. Fortunately, when you hire Breit Biniazan’s legal team, there are no upfront fees. In fact, you don’t pay a penny unless we win your case. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

Rather than charging hourly, Breit Biniazan’s lawyers charge a contingency fee. A contingency fee is an agreed-upon amount, usually 33⅓% of your settlement amount. You may also pay additional charges, such as administrative fees and court costs. These expenses will be itemized and deducted from your settlement total.

Choosing a Personal Injury Law Firm

Every day, the lawyers at Breit Biniazan relentlessly pursue retribution. We’ve helped a mother demand compensation after a careless doctor caused a life-altering injury. We’ve helped a worker recover damages after being hurt on the job. We’ve helped an innocent motorist sue a trucking company that blatantly ignored federal regulations.

Time and time again, we’ve held negligent parties responsible for their actions by adopting an aggressive approach. This approach gives us the upper hand at the negotiating table but also prepares us to dominate in the courtroom when push comes to shove.
