Informed Representation From a Dumfries Construction Accident Attorney
Since 2004, Jim Parrish has represented injured people throughout Virginia, recovering more than $60 million on behalf of his clients. He began his legal career defending insurance companies against claims, so he has unique insight into the internal operations of insurance companies. His extensive knowledge and experience allow him to protect his clients from unfair insurance practices.
Tactics Insurance Companies Use to Unfairly Deny Claims
When you file a claim with an insurance company, it is motivated to pay as little as possible. Its business model requires it to deny claims to make a profit, and that means injured people often get less than they deserve.
The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, knows how to recognize and counter the tactics insurers may use to reject fair claims, including:
- Using AI to reject multiple claims at once without human review
- Taking recorded statements to trick victims into saying things that aren’t true
When you are in a construction accident, you may face pushback from both the construction company and its insurer. We aggressively defend your legal right to fair compensation, even against large corporations and pushy insurance adjusters.
Recoverable Damages in a Dumfries Construction Accident Claim
When you suffer injuries on a construction site, whether you are a visitor, third-party contractor, or bystander, you may have grounds to seek compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. Damages you could pursue include:
Medical Treatment and Expenses
Injuries from a construction accident can result in expensive medical bills. Between emergency transportation, hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation, and therapy, medical treatment alone can be thousands of dollars. The cost of medical treatment also extends to medication, assistive devices, and other care you require during and after treatment.
You should not have to pay for the medical costs of a construction company’s or other party’s negligence.
Lost and Diminished Income
While you receive medical care for your construction injuries, you may miss work and lose out on critical income. The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, works to recover compensation for all the income you lost in a construction accident, including lost wages, salary, bonuses, commissions, and benefits. We also fight for compensation for future income loss if your injuries prevent you from returning to work in your former capacity.
“Pain and Suffering” and Inconvenience
Construction accident injuries can be physically painful and emotionally distressing. If you suffer from permanent scarring, disfigurement, or disability due to a construction incident, you may suffer the effects for the rest of your life.
Our Dumfries construction accident lawyers aim to help you recover these non-economic losses in addition to the financial losses you suffered. These may include physical pain, emotional distress, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, and diminished quality of life.
