What Our Injury Attorneys Will Do for You
You have enough on your plate right now. We want to take the burden off your shoulders and place it on ours. Our Leesburg spinal cord injury lawyers handle every aspect of your case, including but not limited to:
- Identifying your losses: Many injured parties don’t know what damages they can recover and often accept settlements that only cover a small portion of what they deserve. We identify and determine a value for all your losses to ensure the settlement offer covers what your injury has cost you.
- Communicate with the insurance company: The recovery process is stressful enough without having to watch your words in every interaction. Jim Parrish knows how tricky insurers can be, so he and his team can handle all communication with the insurer and other involved parties. This protects you from accidentally saying something to jeopardize your case.
- Negotiate with the insurance company: People often accept the first offer because they don’t know they can ask for more. We’ll determine whether the first offer is enough; if not, we’ll fight tooth and nail for what you deserve.
We can also be there for emotional support and any questions you might have for us.
What Makes Our Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys in Leesburg Different
Virginia is full of personal injury lawyers. However, they don’t bring the experience and knowledge we do. Before starting the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, Jim Parrish represented insurance companies. He now uses the knowledge he gained to represent injured Virginians against those same companies. He knows the tactics insurers use, such as using AI to reject hundreds of claims at a time, and how to fight against them.
We’ve used this knowledge to protect our clients, recovering over $40 million in claims and verdicts.
One example of an award we recovered for a spinal cord injury client includes:
- $500,000 for a client who was struck by a truck driver: Our client required cervical spine surgery after a truck wreck. This was made more complex by the fact that our client had started seeing a chiropractor for neck pain and arm numbness in the month before the accident. We were able to defeat the insurer’s argument that these injuries were unrelated to the accident.

Recoverable Compensation in a Spinal Cord Injury Claim
What you can obtain depends on the specifics of your injury. However, we’ll fight to recover the following for you:
Medical Bills
The medical expenses for a spinal cord injury can top $1 million in the first year alone, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center. It can cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each year thereafter.
Just the medical costs of a spinal cord injury could be enough to bankrupt you, but you can (and should) hold the party who caused your injury responsible for the costs. Our personal injury attorneys will fight for:
- Emergency transportation
- Emergency treatment
- Hospitalization costs
- Ongoing care
- Assistive devices
- Any other medical costs associated with your spinal cord injury
Lost Wages
If your spinal cord injury recovery keeps you out of work, we can fight for the wages and benefits you lost.
Lost Earning Capacity
Spinal cord injuries can have a detrimental effect on a victim’s ability to work. If you had to get a lower-paying job, work fewer hours, or retire completely, you deserve compensation for that wage loss.
“Pain and Suffering” and Inconvenience
Spinal cord injuries can also cause significant “pain and suffering” and inconvenience. We’ll fight for compensation for these damages, as well as lost enjoyment of life and other non-economic damages.
We can also help if you lost a loved one due to spinal cord trauma. We can seek justice and compensation on your behalf.

How Long do I Have to File a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit in Virginia?
Per Virginia’s statute of limitations (Va. Code § 8.01-243), you have only two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. If you don’t file within this time, you risk losing the compensation you deserve. You can still negotiate for a fair settlement, but you may not have any leverage.
It’s also important to act quickly so that our team can get started early. We can gather evidence before it disappears or eyewitnesses move away. A spinal cord injury case also takes time to build. If you get us involved early, we have more time to build a robust case.
You Pay Us Nothing Upfront for Our Help
A spinal cord injury can cost you tens of thousands of dollars in seconds. You don’t need another expense. Instead of figuring out how to pay for legal help, we want you to focus on yourself and your family.
So, we don’t charge upfront fees. You only pay us if and when we win your case. And those fees are never from your own pocket. We take a portion of your settlement or award to pay for our time.
We’ll review our fee agreement with you so there’s never any surprises.
