Personal Injury and
Wrongful Death
Hendell Personal Injury Lawyer
Helping injured persons throughout Virginia and especially in Central Virginia and the Staunton-Augusta-WAYNESBORO AREA HAS BEEN OUR MAIN FOCUS FOR MANY YEARS.
We take your injuries personally, because they usually could have been avoided if the bad actor had made the right decision, whether you were harmed through negligence, recklessness, willful and wanton conduct, or intentional and malicious action. It is for this reason that you will not hear us saying “automobile accident”, because most automobile collisions are avoidable through the exercise of reasonable care. We seek recovery for all the damages to which you are entitled by law, including not only your physical injuries, but also your medical bills, expenses for medical equipment, lost wages, lost earning capacity, emotional distress, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship.
We work to uncover every possible source of recovery to fully compensate you for all your injuries.
Our Charlottesville personal injury attorney has handled many automobile collisions, as well as cases involving negligent parking lot design, tractor trailer wrecks, dog bites, dangerous premises/slip-and-fall, sexual abuse, and medical malpractice. We work up every case as if it were going to court in order to achieve full value, and we are glad to go to trial if the defendants will not commit to a full and fair settlement.
