The Parrish Law Firm is here to fight for your rights to compensation.

A Virginia employee who was injured while working in a machine shop in 2009 has settled his personal injury claims for $16.5 million, reports Virginia Lawyer Weekly.

The incident occurred when a broken metal shaft was thrown from a machine tool and struck the plaintiff between the eyes. The estimated speed of the projectile was around 270 miles per hour.

The plaintiff suffered skull fractures and brain injury, and was rendered nearly totally blind in one eye and lost the other eye completely. The 40-year-old claimant was left unable to work, and needed around the clock care.

The seller and manufacturer of the CNC machine involved in the accident, as well as the seller and manufacturer of the special tool that caused the injury all agreed to the settlement worth $16.5 million.

A sales representative for the tool verified that the claimant was using it correctly at the time of the accident.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
