Experience the Parrish Law Firm Difference
You should be focused on recovering from your injuries, not on how to hold a construction company or other entity liable. Let us do that for you.
Our team is uniquely qualified to handle your injury case, as we have experience on both sides of the table. Before Jim Parrish opened the Parrish Law Firm, he represented insurance companies.
He knows the tactics they use, such as using recorded statements against claimants or using AI to mass review and reject claims. More importantly, he knows how to fight these tactics.
He uses his knowledge from inside the insurance company to protect clients from insurers who don’t want to pay what claimants deserve.
We’ll Fight for Every Dollar You Deserve
Construction accidents are often very costly. A car accident with a construction vehicle or a fall from an elevated height can cause catastrophic or even fatal injuries. Our team will include all the damages your accident caused, including:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are those that typically come with a receipt or estimate. They include:
- Medical bills, such as emergency transportation and treatment, surgeries, assistive devices, prescription medications, copays, and ongoing care
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Miscellaneous expenses related to the accident, such as the costs of renovating your home to accommodate a wheelchair
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are less straightforward to establish, but may include “pain and suffering” and inconvenience. “Pain and suffering” can include the physical and emotional pain your accident and injuries caused, while inconvenience includes any hardship your accident and injuries created.
Wrongful Death Damages
Construction accidents are all too often fatal. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 21 people lost their lives in construction accidents in Virginia in 2021.
If you lost a loved one in a Richmond construction accident, we offer our sincere condolences. We can help you seek justice and compensation for:
- Sorrow and mental anguish
- Loss of solace, including society, guidance, comfort, and companionship
- Lost income
- Medical expenses before your loved one’s passing
- Funeral and burial expenses

You Have Limited Time to Act After a Construction Accident
The time after a construction accident can feel like a whirlwind. You are likely receiving treatment, trying to manage your expenses, and figuring out when you’ll be able to work again. It’s easy for time to get away from you, but it’s important that you remember the deadlines that apply to your case.
Per Va. Code § 8.01-243, you only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit after an accident. If you don’t file before that time expires, the court will reject your lawsuit, and you risk recovering nothing.
While you can still negotiate for a fair settlement, without the threat of a lawsuit, you don’t have any leverage. This means the insurance company can offer whatever it wants, and you’ll likely have to take a much lower settlement than you deserve.
This is why it is so important to get in touch with our firm early. We can manage all deadlines and protect your right to compensation.
