Virginia defective drugs can have serious side effects, but a more common danger is the one of accidental overdosing. Here are a few points from the Center of Disease Control to keep in mind to avoid an unnecessary tragedy.

  • 91% of all unintentional poisoning deaths were caused by prescription drugs.
  • Among children, emergency room visits for medication poisonings are twice as common as poisonings from other household products (such as cleaning solutions and personal care products).
  • 80% of all medication poisonings in children were because an unsupervised child found and consumed medication.
  • Unintentional poisoning was second only to motor vehicle crashes as a cause of unintentional injury or death.
  • Keep all prescribed medication in a high place out of reach of children.
  • Carefully read all labels on prescription medication to avoid taking frequent doses or over doses

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How 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.
    06 How 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.
