You have enough on your plate after suffering a motor vehicle accident. You shouldn’t have to deal with the obligations that come with a complicated personal injury claim, too. While you focus on your health, the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC streamlines the legal process by:
- Investigating the collision, collecting evidence like the accident report and medical records, learning its cause, and identifying the at-fault driver and liable parties, ensuring that you don’t have to expend any precious recovery energy playing detective
- Assessing the value of your economic and non-economic damages, even accounting for anticipated costs, which ensures you don’t have unexpected, out-of-pocket costs down the road
- Filing your personal injury claim and dealing with the insurance adjuster so that you don’t have to worry about saying something that devalues your claim
- Negotiating with the insurance company to get you all the compensation you need for your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses
You don’t have to worry about a single case-related obligation when our legal team advocates for you. All you have to worry about is attending doctors’ appointments and focusing on your health. In the meantime, Attorney Jim Parrish handles your legal matters from start to finish.
We Manage Your Personal Injury Lawsuit’s Filing Deadline
We’re proud to share that over the years, we’ve resolved most car accident cases through insurance negotiations. That’s because Attorney Jim Parrish started his legal career representing insurance companies against high-value claims. He knows the ins and outs of how these insurance companies operate––and he knows all too well that some insurance companies don’t deal in good faith.
However, some situations call for personal injury lawsuits. In those instances, we generally have two years from the date of your collision to initiate litigation, per Va. Code § 8.01-243. If too much time passes, you could lose the right to seek financial recovery—and that’s the last thing we want.
With the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC on your side, you get comprehensive legal support in your time of need. Not only do we handle the statute of limitations deadline, but we go the extra mile to seek everything you need following your Harrisonburg crash.
Preservation of Evidence
When you contact us early enough, it not only protects your right to sue but also allows us to collect evidence before it is lost or destroyed. Accident scenes are cleaned, and videos are recorded over. With time, memories will fade, but we can record statements from eyewitnesses before they forget, take photos of the accident scene and your injuries, and retain video footage before it is scrubbed.
Our Clients Never Pay Anything Up Front for Our Legal Support
Since we first opened our doors in 2004, we’ve operated on a contingency-fee-basis. This means:
- You don’t pay upfront fees or retainers to secure our help.
- Payment comes from the financial compensation you recover, never your own pocket.
- You get the terms of this agreement in writing from the very beginning.
We know you’re going through a lot in the aftermath of your motor vehicle accident. With contingency-fee-based representation, you don’t have to worry about attorney’s fees or by-the-service rates. We don’t charge a dime until your case concludes.
We Have Secured Millions for Our Personal Injury Clients
Our team has recovered millions for car accident claimants. In a recent case we resolved, we secured $1 million after a wrong-way motorist struck our client. In another instance, we secured $5 million in a wrongful death truck-on-car collision. Hear what our past clients have said:
- “Thanks for all you’ve done for my son and myself, we really appreciate you & your wonderful team. You guys are the best!!”—Shanale Tibbs
- “(Attorney Jim Parrish) was more than helpful. Not only does he know the law, he is a nice guy who cares. He always takes the time to answer questions, return calls, and respond to emails. I was relaxed throughout my case knowing that Jim and his team were on my side.”—Michael Schumacher

Our Law Firm Seeks the Compensation You Deserve for Your Harrisonburg Car Accident
How much you can recover depends on your situation, namely, the injuries you suffered and your estimated recovery period. That being said, the types of damages you could recover include:
Medical Treatment Expenses
Our car accident attorneys in Harrisonburg can seek the full cost of your medical bills and healthcare expenses, including surgeries, emergency room and hospital stays, treatment, medications, rehab, medical equipment and devices, lab fees, and transportation costs.
Out-of-Pocket Expenses
A car accident can generate unexpected costs that require you to spend money out of pocket. For instance, you may have hired someone to look after your children during your recovery period. You may have used rideshare services to get to and from doctors’ appointments. We can include the cost of these losses through a compensation claim or personal injury lawsuit.
Lost Income
You shouldn’t have to force yourself to attend work during your recovery period. Rather, you deserve this time to focus on recovering and putting this difficult time behind you. While you recuperate, our legal team can pursue the cost of your lost tips, bonuses, wages, and benefits in your case. If your injury will permanently affect your earning power, we can include loss of future earning capacity in your case.
Property Damage Expenses
If your car or personal property was damaged in the accident, we can seek compensation for those expenses.
“Pain and Suffering” and Inconvenience
The law allows you to seek compensation for “pain and suffering” and inconvenience. But what does this entail? Essentially, this non-economic damage acknowledges your physical pain and emotional suffering following the collision. Virginia is one of many states that does not cap non-economic damages in car accident claims, so there’s no limit to what you can recover.
Wrongful Death Damages
First, please accept our condolences on your loss. We understand the heartache you and your family are experiencing and would like to help you through this tragedy. Your family deserves time to grieve in peace. We can manage your family’s wrongful death claim following a fatal car accident and pursue such damages as:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- The decedent’s medical expenses
- Loss of income they provided the family
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
These aren’t the only losses we can pursue on your behalf. During your FREE claim review, we can listen to the details of your situation and explain what fair compensation in your case could comprise.
What Should I Do After a Harrisonburg Car Accident?
You may feel “okay” after your car accident, but some injuries are slow to manifest. For instance, you could have suffered a traumatic brain injury and not experience symptoms for days following the auto accident. Always get examined by a healthcare professional as soon after an accident as possible.
This accomplishes two things. One, it helps you start the road to reaching maximum medical improvement. Two, it generates much-needed evidence to support your claim. Our Harrisonburg car accident attorney could use your medical records and imaging scan results to compel the insurer to offer a fair settlement.
