Many clients contact The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt, a Personal Injury Attorney serving Abingdon, VA residents, to help get the compensation they deserve after being physically or emotionally injured in a car accident that was not their fault.

Speak with one of our lawyers before filing a claim

In many cases, you will need to file a claim with either your insurance company, the at-fault driver’s insurance company, or both. Our Abingdon, VA personal injury attorney can ensure that you file claims with the right company to receive the most out of your claim. For example, while you might think you should only file with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to receive compensation for property damage, your own insurance company can help with your personal injury protection (or PIP).

Unfortunately, it is the insurance company’s goal to find ways to reduce or even eliminate ways they have to pay you, but by hiring a personal injury attorney in Abingdon, VA, we will work hard to make sure the insurance company pays you what they owe you.

What Damages are you eligible to collect?

By hiring one of our attorneys, you can figure out what damages you can collect. These damages might include:

•      Lost wages. This includes time you were forced to miss from work while you recovered from your injury or stayed in the hospital
•      Anticipated medical costs. Medical costs that we can reasonably anticipate you will incur at a later date from this auto accident.
•      Pain and suffering. There is a potential you are eligible for thousands of dollars for the physical and emotional pain.
•      Reduced earning capacity. Time taken away from your job either short-term or long-term because of an injury.
•      Punitive damages. You could be eligible for these if we can prove the other driver was behaving in a malicious or reckless manner.

What else can a lawyer do for me?

Client Review

“Mark took over my car accident case from another attorney that I fired. Mark worked hard on the case for several months to get ready for trial. Shortly before trial he got a settlement that was six times more than the offer my first lawyer tried to get me to take.”
