Virginia Beach personal injury attorneys evaluate potential personal injury claims through a methodical process. They begin with an initial consultation to learn about the incident and injuries. Then, they conduct an investigation by examining records and speaking with witnesses to establish liability and build a strong case. Next, they assess liability by determining if negligence or wrongdoing caused the injuries. Finally, they assess damages by considering medical costs, lost income, property damage, emotional distress, disability, insurance policies, comparative negligence, expert medical opinions, economic projections, and negotiate with insurance companies to provide just compensation for the victim's losses.
