Virginia Personal Injury Firm
Serving Clients in Richmond, Virginia Beach & Beyond
When another person, company, or entity’s negligence results in injury or death, the injured victim or the surviving family members of the deceased have the right to take legal action against the liable parties. A personal injury lawsuit not only seeks to secure financial compensation for the victim(s), it also aims to hold the negligent parties accountable for their careless or reckless behavior.
At Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, we assist clients with a broad range of personal injury cases in Virginia. Our experienced personal injury lawyers in VA have recovered hundreds of millions on behalf of injured individuals and their families in Richmond, Virginia Beach, and throughout the surrounding areas. We understand just how difficult it is to move forward from a traumatic accident; because of this, we strive to recover the maximum compensation you are owed. While financial recovery cannot undo the suffering you have been through, it can help you begin the healing process.

Personal Injury Lawsuit FAQs
Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney?
Yes, it’s worth it to hire a personal injury attorney, especially if your injury is severe. Negligent parties and their insurance companies rarely provide the redress that people with serious injuries deserve. By hiring a personal injury attorney, you ensure that you get legal expertise and strategy that will help you get the best result possible. At Breit Cantor, we’ve secured many multimillion-dollar settlements for clients with personal injury lawsuits in Virginia.
How much do clients pay their attorneys for personal injury cases if they lose?
How much you pay an attorney if you lose a personal injury case depends on the law firm. At Breit Cantor’s Virginia personal injury law firm, you pay nothing if you lose the case. There are only fees if we are successful in obtaining a settlement on your behalf.
How long does a personal injury lawsuit take?
In most cases, personal injury lawsuits take one to three years. The length of the case will depend on the injury, the circumstances, and the law office you use. It will also depend on the insurance company and if the lawsuit goes to trial or not. In many cases, personal injury lawsuits are settled out of the courtroom, which can reduce the length of time it takes to get a settlement.
Do I need a personal injury lawyer?
While you can file a personal injury claim without a lawyer in Virginia, it’s not recommended. Your chances of winning your case increase significantly if you hire a personal injury lawyer. A lawyer will also reduce the stress on you and your family in terms of legal strategy, paperwork, and how to deal with the negligent parties. We recommend hiring a personal injury lawyer if you’ve suffered a severe injury, such as a traumatic brain injury, a severe trucking accident, or have lost a limb.
What kind of cases do personal injury lawyers handle?
Personal injury lawyers handle many different types of cases ranging from car accidents to medical malpractice. At Breit Cantor, we handle the most complex and difficult cases for the people who need expert legal representation. Some of the common cases we handle include severe commercial vehicle accidents, premises liability, sexual assault, nursing home abuse, spinal cord injuries, wrongful death cases, and more.
