Vehicle accident damages

A critical role of a Suffolk car accident attorney is to identify the damages which are potentially available in a case. When you prevail at trial on a car accident claim, the jury will award you damages based on the facts of your crash. The more severe it is, the higher the damages will be.

Two primary types of damages are involved in an injury lawsuit: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are tangible and have a fixed value. Evidence typically exists which can establish their value, like medical bills.

Non-economic damages are different in that they do not have an inherent value. In other words, the subjective nature of these injuries makes it challenging to put a fixed value on them. Pain and suffering is the most common example.

Car Accident Injuries

The most serious of these injuries can lead to long-term disability or even death. Common examples include:

Cuts, bruises, and broken bones
Head injuries
Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions
Neck injuries, including whiplash
Eye injuries
Dental damage
Burns
Vehicle property damage
Internal bleeding

Don’t Fight Insurance Alone

The other driver’s insurance will do everything they can to either come to a low settlement or disqualify you from compensation entirely through Virginia’s contributory negligence rule. The state follows a rule that means, even if you were found the slightest bit responsible for the accident you will not be able to get any sort of compensation. With a Rutter Mills Suffolk car accident lawyer, you will be protected from their predatory tactics and ensure your financial future.

“These insurance companies are bullies, and they want to push around the little guy. What’s nice about Rutter Mills is insurance knows they can’t push our clients around and have to treat our clients fairly.” – Will Nexsen, Personal Injury Attorney

I came to Rutter Mills during one of the most difficult and terrifying times in my life. Mr. Young and his assistant Kathy Saunders were so welcoming and understanding. They worked diligently to handle my case. It is by no means a quick and easy process, however these two make the wait worth it. I hope you never find yourself in my shoes but if you do I highly recommend these two to help you along your process.

I generally don’t write reviews. But I wanted to thank all the staff at Rutter Mills for the great job they did on my case. Adam Lotkin, my attorney, was straight forward and solid. He did what he said he would do. He kept reassuring me that I was in good hands, and in the end, he proved, I was. Ruth Simmons, kept me up to date and promptly answered all my questions. Ruth was very thorough and knowledgeable. Selena Day provided backup support and rounded out the team, assisting in putting together my court presentation. The whole staff made me feel like my case was a team effort. When my case was finished, they treated me fairly and worked quickly to pay out my settlement. When going up against large insurance companies, Rutter Mills proved, your law firm does matter. They have experienced, professional people. Thank you all again, for taking a difficult time in my life and making it bearable.
