We Compile the Evidence So You don’t Have to
We want to ensure you receive optimal financial recovery while also enduring the least amount of stress possible. To do that, we will compile evidence that demonstrates the cause of your accident, the cost of your damages, and the at-fault party’s liability.
To gather evidence, we will:
- Review the police report/accident report
- Speak with medical experts
- Acquire eyewitness testimony
- Interview expert witnesses
- Review photographs and video footage of the accident
We may also consult with accident reconstruction specialists to glean insight into how your accident happened. Using a combination of forensic data, math, and computer simulations, they can uncover fault and liability.
We File Your Personal Injury Lawsuit Within the Statute of Limitations Deadline
Va. Code § 8.01-243 states that we generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. With our resources, the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC will file your lawsuit within these parameters. We encourage you to promptly consider legal action, so this deadline doesn’t expire.

What Losses Am I Entitled to?
You may be unable to work due to your injuries after your accident in Richmond. With unexpected expenses added to your usual day-to-day expenses, you may find yourself wondering how you are going to pay for everything.
The good news is that you do not have to pay for the expenses caused by another party’s negligence if our case is successful. Our experienced attorneys seek fair compensation for:
Economic Damages (Your Financial Losses)
Economic damages are the losses at the forefront of your mind after an accident. These damages come with objective dollar values because they have receipts and invoices.
Examples of economic damages include:
- Medical bills
- Inability to earn future income
- Lost wages
- Property damage expenses (if you were in a collision, for instance)
- Other out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident
To determine what damages you are entitled to, your personal injury attorney will review your pay stubs, medical expenses, and any other bills or receipts related to your accident.
Non-Economic Damages (Your Non-Financial Losses)
The values of your non-economic damages are subjective because they don’t come with documentation. Their values vary on a case-by-case basis, contingent on your quality of life, day-to-day function, and condition’s severity.
Non-economic damages include:
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
- The inability to enjoy life as you did prior to your accident
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
Any trauma that results from your accident is recoverable. To better understand what qualifies as a non-economic damage, consider starting your FREE claim review today.

Speak With a Personal Injury Attorney Before Accepting a Settlement
After your accident, you will be contacted by the other party’s insurance company. It will ask questions about the accident, and it is important that you are honest. However, it is equally important that you do not say anything that implies you were responsible for the accident. The insurance company could use this information against you later.
Early on, the insurer may make an offer. However, often, initial settlements don’t account for the full cost of your injury-related losses. A personal injury attorney from the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC can explain whether you should accept an offer from the insurer. If not, we can negotiate a better offer using your case’s evidence.
How to Protect Myself After an Injury
There are a few things you can do after an accident or injury to protect yourself and your potential claim:
- Call 911 to report your accident (if necessary). Law enforcement may come to the scene and create an accident report. They may also send paramedics to the scene.
- Get medical care. Injuries are often masked by adrenaline right after an accident. Medical attention will get you treatment for injuries and link those injuries to your accident.
- Report the accident to your insurance company (if it applies to your situation).
- Be careful what you say to the other party’s insurance company. Even something as simple as “I’m sorry” or “I’m okay” can jeopardize your case.
- Avoid posting on social media.
- Remember that you can negotiate for a higher settlement.
- Call a Richmond personal injury attorney.
