Why You Want a Front Royal Construction Accident Attorney from Our Firm On Your Side
Jim Parrish opened the doors of the Parrish Law Firm in 2004. He has more than two decades of experience fighting for injured people in Northern Virginia. Jim and the Parrish Law Firm team truly care about our clients and community. We fight for justice and every dollar our clients deserve in every case we take on.
However, we bring more than that to the table. We bring a different perspective to every case we handle. Before founding our firm, Jim worked for insurance companies, defending them from the same types of claims we file now.
This experience means we have knowledge from inside the insurance company—knowledge we use every day. Jim has an intimate understanding of how insurance companies operate and all the tactics they use to pay injured people less than they deserve.
Here are three examples of insurance company tactics our firm commonly sees:
- Using AI to mass reject claims: Insurance companies often use software to review dozens of claims at a time. This often leads to unfair denials of valid claims. We know how to establish the validity of your claim and fight an unfair denial.
- Using what you say against you: Insurance adjusters often contact injured individuals shortly after an accident, while they’re most vulnerable. Because they seem so helpful and friendly, people don’t realize this is a trap. They will ask if you are okay with the conversation being recorded, and most people will say yes. However, they record these conversations to twist your words against you. Even something saying “I’m okay” or “I’m sorry” can jeopardize your claim. We handle all communication on your behalf to prevent you from being taken advantage of.
- Offering you much less than you deserve: Insurance companies are businesses. As such, they will do whatever they can to protect their bottom line. One way they do this is by offering a very low initial settlement. Many people take this settlement offer, not realizing it only covers a very small portion of their losses. If you accept this settlement, you can’t ask for more later, even if you realize that your expenses will end up costing you tens of thousands out of pocket. We review every offer our clients receive, ensuring it covers every dollar they deserve. If not, we fight for more.
Our knowledge and experience have allowed us to recover over $60 million for our clients over the years. Our Front Royal construction accident lawyers want to fight for the compensation you deserve, too.
We Handle Cases With No Upfront Fees
Listing our experience and accolades does nothing if you think that you can’t afford our help. You can. We take cases on a contingency-fee basis. We don’t charge retainers or hourly fees, and we only recover compensation if you do.
There is no risk when you call us for help with your construction injury case.
What Damages Can I Recover After a Construction Accident?
As you well know, construction accidents are often very serious. They can cause severe, catastrophic, or even fatal injuries, such as:
- Lacerations
- Amputations
- Electric shock
- Electrocution
- Head injuries
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
The treatment for these injuries is often very costly. In fact, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, medical costs and living expenses for a spinal cord injury can range from around $54,000 to over $237,000 a year.
The treatment for a mild TBI can be over $13,000 a year, per a meta-analysis published in Medical Care. Medical treatment alone could bankrupt most families. These and other costs are compensable.
Our team can investigate your accident and injuries and determine what compensation you can recover. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to:
- Medical expenses, both current and future
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Miscellaneous expenses related to your accident and injuries
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
Our Front Royal construction accident attorneys can investigate your or your loved one’s accident to ensure we are including all your recoverable damages.

Holding Another Party Liable for Your Injuries
You can’t simply file a claim against another person and recover compensation. You must prove that their (or their employee’s) negligence caused your injuries. Our Front Royal construction accident attorneys do this by establishing the following:
- The other party owed you a duty of care.
- The other party breached your duty of care.
- The breach caused your accident and injuries.
- You suffered damages.
Who may be liable depends on how your accident occurred. If you were injured due to a dangerous condition on the site, you could sue a general contractor or the property owner, depending on whose responsibility it was to keep that part of the property safe.
If you or a loved one suffered an electric shock or your loved one was electrocuted, you may be able to hold an electrician liable.
Determining liability is complex, and you shouldn’t try to do it alone. We can handle this and every other aspect of your case for you.
