FAQs

  • Ensure safety first by moving to a safe location if possible, then call 911 for assistance. Exchange information with the other driver, take pictures of the accident scene, and report the accident to the police. Seek medical attention even if you think you are not injured, as some injuries may take time to present symptoms.

  • The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Virginia is generally two years from the date of the accident. Property damage claims typically have a five-year statute of limitations.

  • Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule, which is very strict. If you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you may not be able to recover any damages from the other at-fault party.

  • While you should notify your own insurance company of the accident, you should be cautious when speaking to the other party's insurer. It is often advisable to speak with an attorney before giving a detailed statement or accepting any settlement offer.

  • You may be entitled to recover costs for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. If the accident resulted in a fatality, certain family members may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.

  • Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you won't have to pay any upfront fees, and the attorney will only receive a percentage of your settlement or award if you win your case.

  • Yes, you can claim for injuries that become apparent after the accident. It is essential to seek medical attention as soon as you notice any symptoms and to document all health issues related to the accident.

  • You may be able to make a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can assist you in exploring all available options to ensure you receive fair compensation.

  • Fault is determined based on evidence such as police reports, witness statements, traffic laws, and other relevant factors. Accident reconstruction experts may also be consulted in complex cases. Talk to the team at the Law Offices of Magalski and Schoenike to make sure you are not wrongly denied your rights when another driver is at fault.

  • Some medical providers may agree to wait for payment until your case is settled. You may also use your medical payments coverage from your auto insurance policy if available. Discuss with your attorney the possibility of medical providers agreeing to wait for payment via a medical lien on your settlement or exploring other avenues like medical payment coverage under your auto insurance policy.
