Personal Injury & Auto Incidents
Injured in an Accident? You deserve Compensation & Justice
An unexpected accident can change your life in an instant—medical bills pile up, you may be unable to work, and everyday activities become painful. Insurance companies often try to minimize claims, leaving victims struggling to recover. You shouldn’t have to face this alone. At Waltrip & Campbell, PC, we fight for injury victims to ensure they get the compensation they need to heal and move forward.
Why Legal Representation Matters:
- Unfair settlements that don’t fully cover medical expenses
- Lost income with no financial support
- High medical bills piling up without compensation
- Enduring pain and suffering without justice
How We Fight For You:
We use a proven 3-step legal analysis to build strong injury claims:
1. Duty of Care – Did the at-fault party have a legal responsibility to act safely?
2. Breach of Duty – Did they fail in that responsibility through negligence or reckless behavior?
3. Damages – Did their actions cause your injuries and financial losses?
From the moment you contact us, we guide you through medical treatment, claim evaluation, and legal action to maximize your compensation.
Cases We Handle:
- Car Accidents and Auto Injuries
- Medical/Professional Malpractice
- Products Liability
- Uninsured Motorist
- Premise Liability
Six Steps: What To Do After A Car Accident
MOST IMPORTANT: DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THE OTHER PERSON’S INSURANCE COMPANY.
Medical Malpractice & Products Liability
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or nurse makes an unreasonable mistake that results in an injury to you. First, it’s very important to understand that an injury must be sustained in order for the medical professional’s mistake to qualify as medical malpractice.
Second, you should document any information or conversations you had regarding the incident as soon as possible.
Finally, if you believe you have a case in any of these areas, let us evaluate your case. Contact us below so that we may advise you of the best way to approach your case.
Virginia Personal Injury FAQ
Are personal injury settlements taxable
Personal injury settlements for physical injuries are generally not taxable at the federal level. However, portions of your settlement allocated for lost wages, emotional distress without physical injury, or punitive damages may be taxable. Each state may have different rules regarding taxation. We recommend consulting with a tax professional about your specific settlement.
What is personal injury protection insurance?
Personal injury protection (PIP) insurance is a type of auto insurance coverage that pays for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages regardless of who was at fault in an accident. It’s sometimes called “no-fault insurance” and is required in some states. PIP typically covers the policyholder, passengers, and sometimes pedestrians injured in an accident.
What is considered an injury in a car accident?
Car accident injuries can range from minor to severe and include whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue damage. Even seemingly minor injuries like bruising or soreness should be documented by a medical professional, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent but can develop into serious conditions over time.
How are personal injury compensation amounts calculated?
Personal injury compensation typically factors in medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. The calculation considers the severity of injuries, recovery time, impact on quality of life, and any permanent disabilities. Each case is unique, which is why having experienced legal representation is important.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state, typically ranging from 1-6 years from the date of injury. In some circumstances, such as when injuries aren’t immediately apparent, the “discovery rule” may extend this period. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to ensure you don’t lose your right to compensation.
