Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer
Experience, Integrity and Honesty
If someone else's carelessness or negligence results in physical injury or trauma, including mental injury (e.g., trauma to the mind), the injured person may be able to remedy the situation by filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit against those responsible. If the injured person dies or is killed, the victim's relatives may be able to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are filed to obtain financial compensation (called monetary damages) against the person(s) responsible. Usually an insurance company becomes involved, and if the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable sum to settle, the lawsuit goes to trial resulting in a judgment.
The Law Offices of P. Clark Kattenburg, P.C., located in Fairfax, Virginia, handles personal injury and wrongful death cases on behalf of injured individuals and the families of decedents who are killed by the wrongful acts of others.
Areas of Focus
Our firm focuses on medical malpractice and nursing home negligence cases, in which injury is caused by the carelessness of a doctor or other health care provider. In addition to medical malpractice cases, we are experienced with the full range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car collisions and trucking accidents
- Commercial vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Dangerous product accidents
- Premises liability claims, where injuries occur in commercial business establishments or in common areas used by tenants due to unreasonably dangerous conditions, such as slippery floors, broken handrails or falling merchandise
- Warehouse and retail store accidents
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
Our attorney has extensive experience representing clients who have suffered extremely severe injuries, including spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury.
Workplace Injuries
If the injury was caused at the workplace, we help our clients obtain workers' compensation coverage. Most workers' compensation coverage is a stop-loss and temporary form of assistance, but it is critically important to get advice from an experienced personal injury and workers' compensation lawyer before accepting benefits from your employer's workers' compensation insurance company.
