IMMEDIATE HELP FOR ACCIDENT VICTIMS

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, the Norfolk accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Richard J. Serpe, P.C. are available for an immediate case review. Car accidents from distracted and drunk drivers cause serious injuries and death every day across the state of Virginia. Careless drivers of cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles injure innocent accident victims.

If a Virginia car accident has completely interruppted your normal life, you are likely many of my clients who stay awake at night wondering:

  • Who will pay my medical bills?
  • How can I recover my lost wages from work?
  • Who must pay for the repairs to my car?
  • Can I receive fair settlement for my injuries?
  • How do I find the best Virginia car accident lawyer for my case?

When you call our office, our lawyers will personally answer all of these questions for you.  If we agree to accept your case, we will start working on it immediately.  A complete investigation of the accident will be conducted, and we will assist you with all of your insurance claims.  Very few other lawyers can make this promise to their clients. 

TRUSTWORTHY LAWYERS WITH INTEGRITY AND RESULTS

Many accident victims make a huge mistake by hiring the lawyer with the biggest telephone book advertisement, or the one with the flashiest television commercial.  The lawyer that you choose is often the difference between you receiving a fair settlement or no settlement at all.  You deserve to be represented by a lawyer with integrity, and who has a tremendous track record of successful settlements and verdicts.  

Our Norfolk accident and injury lawyers have a national reputation for the representation of clients with serious and catastrophic injuries.  Our laywers have achieved the legal profession's highest possible rating for skill and integrity.  They have been recognized as Virginia Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers in America.  These honors have been earned by achieving extraordinary settlements and jury verdicts over the last twenty years.  If you believe that these are important attributes for your lawyer, you should choose my firm to handle your case.

TYPES OF ACCIDENT CASES WE HANDLE

I focus my practice on clients who have suffered serious injuries in Virginia car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents. Serious injuries include cases involving:

AVOID HIDDEN DEADLINES FOR YOUR IMPORTANT CASE

Many accident victims that have taken a “wait and see” approach find out the hard way that there are STRICT time limits for bringing an injury claim. As time goes by and the injury just has not gotten better, victims seek help for chronic pain or mounting hospital or medical bills. If they waited too long, the door to justice is closed forever. Contact an accident lawyer at our office today to ensure that your legal rights are protected.


WORDS OF ADVICE

I strongly advise you not to speak to an insurance adjuster about your Virginia car accident case until you speak with our lawyers first.  Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that will ruin you case and often even try to convince you that hiring a lawyer is not in your best interest. They also train their adjusters in methods to delay or deny claims even for their own policy holders. (Click here for a report on the TOP TEN WORST insurance companies!) Profits for insurance companies have jumped dramatically over the last ten years, despite the growing number of driver distractions. Get experienced help in dealing with adjusters to avoid wrecking your own case.  Remember, the insurance company is not looking out for your best interest, and is hoping that you will sign away your rights for a fraction of the actual value of your case. 

I also advise you to stay away from lawyers who promise you a fast settlement.  Lawyers who make this promise usually put their own best interest before your best interest.  We limit the number of cases that are accepted because we want to give every client the full attention and best possible representation that they deserve.

I encourage you to contact us to discuss your case and we will explain to you how we can help relieve your stress and bring your life, as close as possible, to normal.  Our accident lawyers are available to handle car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian and other accident cases in Virginia. To speak with our lawyers personally, call us at (757)233-0009.

  • Virginia Teens speak out for safer roads

    Description: Flashing blue lights lit up the intersection of Candlers Mountain Road and University Boulevard, and almost 50 teenagers gathered along the roadside Wednesday night.

    These teenagers were not in trouble. They were simply watching as law enforcement officers arrested three drivers on charges of driving under the influence, three on drug charges and one on underage possession of alcohol.

    Law enforcement and others hope that this, and the other events of the Youth of Virginia Speak Out About Traffic Safety retreat held at Liberty University, will teach teens to drive safely when they get behind the wheel.

    The retreat's mission is to play a part in reducing teenage deaths from car crashes.

    "Traffic crashes are the number one killer of this age group," said Elizabeth Ferguson, training and marketing coordinator. "We want to give them the tools to help prevent those deaths."

    Last year, 132 teenagers in Virginia died in car crashes.
