Hello everyone. This is Jim Parish. I’m an accident injury attorney in northern Virginia with officers in Fairfax and Manassas.
Often times people who are involved in accidents will come to my office with scarring of some sort, and a common question that I receive is how do I recover or how am I compensated for that scar? The scar in all likelihood is permanent, and so you would make a claim for a permanent injury to your person. Also, if there’s ever to be a revision to that scar by a plastic surgeon, then the future surgical cost can be claimed in your automobile, motorcycle, or tractor trailer accident injury case.
I hope that information was helpful. Please visit us on our website; www.theparrishlawfirm.com for additional information or call us. Our contact information will be at the end of the video. Thanks

03What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?

05How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
06How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
