Why You Should Hire a Richmond Personal Injury Lawyer

The journey to recovering from a personal injury is long. But you can take the first step by hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer who can guide you through the process of filing a lawsuit and getting you the compensation you deserve.

What is a personal injury case?

A personal injury case is one where the victim suffers harm. The harm can be the result of an intentional, reckless, or negligent act by someone else. The goal of a personal injury lawsuit is to hold those at fault accountable for the harm that they cause. And a personal injury lawyer can help you collect the money that you are owed for your injuries—physical, mental, and emotional.

Common personal injury claims that we have filed on behalf of plaintiffs include these:

Car accidents, whether resulting from another driver’s negligence or construction issues
Hit-and-run cases where someone hits your car and speeds off
Truck and other commercial vehicle accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Bicycle accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Dog bites and attacks by dogs and other animals
Nursing home negligence cases, where workers fail to take care of your loved one
Defective products that malfunction and hurt you, such as seat belts, chemicals, or asbestos-based products
Slips and falls, such as when a puddle of water is left in a grocery store aisle or ice isn’t cleaned up in a parking lot and you trip and fall, suffering serious injuries

How can a Richmond personal injury lawyer help you?

Once you contact our personal injury team in Richmond, Virginia, for a free consultation, we’ll get to work gathering evidence and working with witnesses to support your claim. We can also help you:

Communicate with your insurance company
Discuss issues with the person that hurt you
Calculate how much compensation you’re entitled to
Negotiate settlements on your behalf
Ensure you file all court-related and insurance documents on time
Represent you in court

Our goal is to help you speed up your recovery and receive all the compensation that you deserve for your injury. We can work with you to recover the money you need to pay for medical bills, lost wages from missed work, pain and suffering, property damages, and more.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

The answer to this question depends on whether you pursue your case in court or settle out of court. If you’re suing a company, it may take longer to reach a resolution because they may have a larger budget for defending a lawsuit. It may take only a matter of a few months to settle a case if you’re suing an individual.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers can forecast how long it will take to get you to a resolution.

When should you hire a Richmond personal injury lawyer?

The best time to contact a lawyer is after you’ve reported an accident to the police and ensured that you and your loved ones are safe. You don’t have to wait for your insurance company to give you the all-clear before you contact a personal injury lawyer.

The key to filing a personal injury claim in Richmond, Virginia, is that you have to act quickly. You only have two years under Virginia law to file a personal injury lawsuit. This time frame can be considerably shorter if you’re trying to sue a government entity, like the City of Richmond.

You also don’t need to give us any money before you retain our law firm. Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means we take a percentage of the money we collect on your behalf as payment for our services.

Client Reviews

Thank you Atty Everage and team for your transparency and professionalism. I appreciate the space you provided that made me feel seen and heard. The empathy you exuded and most of all the care and compassion extended were unparalleled. Your attention to detail, promptness and responsiveness gave me a level of comfort and confidence. There was no doubt, I mattered and could trust your superb expertise in handling my case. I am truly a grateful client and can’t thank you and your team enough for putting me at ease during this very traumatic and stressful time. Keep fighting the good fight, we need more of it.

Chantelle Hawkins

Attorney Charles Everage and his team at Hunter & Everage were instrumental in helping me navigate the complex process of applying for Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits. From the initial consultation to the final hearing, they were professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They took the time to understand my unique situation and tailored their approach to meet my needs. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was awarded the benefits I so desperately needed. I highly recommend Attorney Everage and Hunter & Everage to anyone facing a similar challenge. They are true advocates for their clients.

Deborah Currence

Attorney Everage was the 2nd attorney who handled a social security appeal for my family member. The difference was night and day. He didn’t promise us the moon but managed our expectations responsibly. He showed legal proficiency before and in the hearing and he prepared my family member what to expect. Almost more importantly, he took his valuable time and showed respect, care and consideration for my family member. He didn’t treat him like a number. For that, we give him the highest rating.

Mark A

It was a long road of fighting for disability benefits. After my first denial, I reached out to Hunter & Everage to handle the case. They have been awesome through the rest of the journey, keeping in contact with me the whole time and staying involved. My case went as far as having to see disability Judge. They set it up to do the hearing over the phone so I didn't have to travel anywhere. One week later I received the call that I was approved and my back pay was deposited in my account that same day. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with their disability claim!! Thank you Hunter & Everage

Kimberly Steverson

Highly recommend. Went through three other firms, before calling. After seeing their TV commercial, just knew Hunter & Everage was the firm that would go the mile and fight for me. Don't wait... Call Hunter & Everage Now. They stood by me, even when I wanted to throw in the towel. Glad I didn't. Now can move on with my life. They will be there to answer your questions even afterward. Thank you so much.

Edward Heavener

Hunter and Everage did a wonderful job for me. Once they looked over my paperwork and decided I had a good case, they stayed in contact with me. They let me know what they needed from me and I got it to them. They are very polite and on point. They told me it would be several months before my case would go in front of the judge, however, as long as it took, feeling at a loss, was even ready to call it quits, they encouraged me to hang in there. So glad I did. It was so worth the wait. I won my case with their help.
