  • "I felt like I was talking to someone who cared about me." | TJ's Story

    Loved ones advised TJ to call an attorney after being involved in a 7-car pileup. She did not want to contact an attorney because she wasn't sure where to start, or where the process would take her.

    Thankfully her brother stepped in and recommended Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers. After one phone call, TJ knew she made the right choice.

  • What steps should I take after a Motorcycle Accident?

    Partner Bill O'Mara joins us for this brief episode to share some of the steps you should take directly following a motorcycle wreck. 

    Regardless of how your motorcycle accident happened or who’s at fault, you’re probably going to be dealing with an insurance company when you pursue compensation.

    Insurance companies will have an advantage during this process from the very beginning. After all, they deal with claims like yours every day. They’ll be represented by skilled insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. They’ll have considerable resources at their disposal.

    Hiring a skilled personal injury lawyer puts a skilled legal advocate in your corner and strips the insurance company of these advantages.

    When you choose Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers to handle your Virginia Beach motorcycle accident claim, we will:

    • Carefully investigate your motorcycle crash to determine how it happened, why, and who’s at fault.
    • Gather critical pieces of evidence, such as police reports, toxicology reports, video recordings, driver cell phone records, witness statements, medical records, and damage to physical property and vehicles.
    • Build a compelling legal claim that proves that another party’s negligence caused your motorcycle crash and injuries.
    • Defend you against any efforts to shift blame and derail your fight for compensation.
    • Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, which prevents them from manipulating you or pressuring you to accept a deal that’s worth less than you deserve.
    • File a lawsuit and bring your motorcycle accident case to trial if you don’t receive a fair settlement offer.

    You need and deserve time to recover from your catastrophic motorcycle accident injuries. That’s tough to do when you’re trying to navigate an insurance claim or lawsuit. Let our accomplished motorcycle accident attorneys in Virginia Beach take the lead on your case so that you can focus on getting better.

  • Why is it important to hire an attorney after a Rideshare Accident?

    Rideshare services revolutionized public transportation, giving customers a fast, easy way to catch a ride almost anywhere. Unfortunately, ride-sharing also has several downsides, with accidents topping the list.  

    Unlike other transportation businesses, rideshare companies generally do not consider their drivers employees. This distinction can be confusing if you are involved in a rideshare accident and want to file a claim with an insurance company.  

    The attorneys at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers are well acquainted with rideshare drivers’ special circumstances. A Virginia rideshare accident lawyer can handle even the most complicated Uber and Lyft cases. If you or someone you love has been injured in a rideshare accident, expert guidance from a lawyer is essential.

    With more than 120 years of combined experience, Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers have earned the title of “The Car Crash Experts.” We have helped clients recover millions in financial settlements and jury awards. Our case results are a testament to our knowledge and dedication.  

    An experienced attorney can offer valuable insights, alleviate the stress of communicating with insurance companies, and negotiate a higher settlement. If you choose a Lyft or Uber accident attorney in Virginia, you will gain significant advantages, including:  

    • Affordable representation: You’ll receive a free initial consultation and won’t pay a fee unless we win your case.  
    • Superior customer service: We prioritize individualized customer service and are happy to address your questions and concerns.  
    • Award-winning attorneys: Our team members are nationally recognized as Super Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and Top Lawyers of Coastal Virginia. 

    At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, we focus our time and energy on personal injury victims and never represent insurance companies. We will always look out for your best interests, health, and financial security.

  • A Special Interview With Kennedy Wayne!
