After the Accident

Tune in to hear from Partner Bill O'Mara about our August Case of the Month.  Our client, a Virginia Beach retiree, was riding as a passenger when the driver of another vehicle failed to yield, causing a collision. She was transported from the scene by ambulance and treated for multiple injuries, including a broken leg.

Passengers are rarely found liable in car accidents, but cases can still become complex without experienced legal guidance. Once she gave us a call and found out her options, we put all our expertise to work to prove her case.

Thanks to our team’s expertise, our client’s case was resolved for $300,000 following detailed preparation and negotiations. For a deeper look at how we helped our client, watch Partner Bill O’Mara’s breakdown of the case.

If you have been injured as a passenger, give us a call. Our consultations are always free, and you may have more options than you realize.
