You Pay Our Winchester Burn Injury Lawyer Nothing Upfront for Our Help
Your burn injury has cost you enough already. Getting the legal help you deserve shouldn’t cost you more. That’s why we handle injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. You don’t pay any upfront fees; in fact, you only pay for our time if you recover compensation.
You Have a Limited Time to Recover Compensation for a Burn Injury in Winchester
Virginia’s statute of limitations only gives you two years to file a lawsuit for a burn injury. If you fail to take action within that time, you jeopardize your right to compensation. If you attempt to file a lawsuit after this time has expired, the court will likely deny your case.
You can continue negotiations with the insurance company, but they’ll likely offer you much less than you deserve.

What the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC Will Do for You and Your Burn Injury Case
The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, will handle every aspect of your burn injury case from handling evidence gathering and paperwork so you have the time and energy to focus on your recovery to presenting your case in court to give you the best possible chance of successfully arguing your case.
However, any attorney can do that. We aren’t just any attorneys. We have experience, knowledge, and skill that other attorneys don’t have. Our founder, Jim Parrish, began his career representing insurance companies in insurance claims. Now, he uses the information he gained from within the insurance company to fight back against the same insurers he once represented.
He knows the tactics insurers use and how to defend against them. For example, he knows that insurance companies often use AI to review dozens of claims at once.
A lack of a real person reviewing them leads to many claims being unfairly denied. We know how to establish the legitimacy of your claim and establish that you deserve compensation.

What Can I Do After a Burn Injury to Protect Myself?
Our team will handle all the legal aspects of your case. However, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself and your claim:
Get Medical Care
Depending on the severity of your burn injury, you may only need treatment at MedExpress Urgent Care or Valley Health Urgent Care. More severe burns may need treatment at the Winchester Medical Center Emergency Room, a Level II Trauma Center.
Continue With Your Medical Care
Once you have received medical care, you need to continue with it. Attend all your appointments and obey your doctor’s orders. If you fail to, you give the insurance company an excuse to deny or devalue your claim.
Watch What You Say to the Insurance Company
The insurer wants to pay you as little as possible for your injury claim. Soon after your accident, an adjuster from the insurance company will likely call you to discuss what happened. This is often a trap. They are hoping you will say something that jeopardizes your case. And this is much easier to do than you think.
To protect your claim, we recommend that you give only the basics of your injury and then direct any further questions to us. Jim Parrish knows how insurance companies operate, and he’ll know how to handle these questions on your behalf.
