When Insurance Companies Won't Listen, These Lawyers Make Them

What are the Most Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Virginia?

Every time you get behind the wheel or onto the road, you expect others to do their part to keep you safe. But not everyone drives responsibly. When someone’s poor decisions cause an accident, Virginia law gives you the right to pursue compensation. Our mission at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys is to help injured people like you fight for the compensation you deserve after a motor vehicle crash, whether it’s a minor collision or a devastating wreck.

Here’s how we approach different types of accident cases with the care and strength your case deserves.

Car crashes are one of the most common causes of injury claims in Virginia. Most of them stem from preventable mistakes:

  • Distracted driving, including texting or using GPS apps while behind the wheel
  • Speeding or reckless lane changes
  • Failure to yield or running red lights
  • Drowsy or fatigued driving

When you’re hurt in a crash, it’s not just about fixing your car; it’s about restoring your peace of mind. Virginia follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If the other driver’s insurance company can show that you were even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovery. Having a lawyer who will gather strong evidence, challenge any unfair claims, and speak for you when it counts is crucial.

Rear-End Collision Cases

Rear-end collisions are some of the most common crashes on Virginia roads. They often happen in slow-moving traffic, at intersections, or in stop-and-go conditions. While it’s common to assume that the rear driver is at fault, Virginia law doesn’t automatically assign blame that way.

To prove liability in a rear-end case, we often need to show that the driver behind you:

  • Was following too closely (tailgating)
  • Was distracted (texting, adjusting music, or looking at a GPS)
  • Failed to brake in time due to speeding or inattention

Virginia’s strict contributory negligence rule means that if the insurance company can prove you contributed even just one degree of fault in the accident, like suddenly slamming your brakes or failing to use a turn signal, they might try to block your recovery altogether.

That’s why it’s critical to work with a legal team that can gather evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the crash if needed. The goal is to protect your right to full compensation for your injuries, lost income, and any long-term pain you’re facing.

Intersection Accidents

Intersections are hotspots for serious accidents, especially when drivers ignore traffic signals, rush left-hand turns, or fail to yield. If you’ve been hurt in one of these crashes, proving who had the right of way is a key part of your case.

Common causes of intersection accidents include:

  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Failing to yield when turning left
  • Distracted driving or rushing through yellow lights

After these collisions, evidence can disappear quickly. Traffic light sequences, skid marks, and surveillance footage can all help clarify what happened, but only if they’re collected in time. We act fast to investigate, speak with witnesses, and preserve any digital or physical evidence before it’s lost. The more details we gather early on, the stronger your case becomes when it’s time to negotiate with insurers or go to court.

Alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers pose a serious threat to every Virginian on the road. The damage they cause is often severe, especially at higher speeds or in head-on crashes.

Virginia Code § 8.01-44.5 allows for additional damages if someone severely drunk (with a BAC of .15 and above) or someone similarly under the influence has hit you, exhibiting a reckless disregard for other people’s safety. The court can impose punitive damages in these cases, sending a powerful message that this behavior won’t be tolerated.

From securing police reports and breathalyzer results to working with law enforcement officers, we’ll help you hold the impaired driver accountable. Our attorneys have extensive experience in criminal law as well as insurance defense, giving us a unique insight into addressing cases involving impaired-driver accidents.

Big trucks cause big damage. A fully loaded tractor-trailer weighs up to 80,000 pounds, and when it collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. Injuries from these types of accidents tend to be life-altering.

These cases often involve:

  • Multiple parties: the driver, the trucking company, third-party contractors, or freight loaders
  • Federal and state trucking regulations that must be followed
  • Black box data and driving logs that must be preserved quickly

The trucking company’s insurance team will move fast to protect its bottom line. We know the tactics insurers use and the excuses they make, and we are ready to build a strategy tailored to protect your best interests.

Motorcyclists have the same rights as anyone else on the road, but they face greater dangers and often more severe injuries when crashes occur. Too many drivers still claim they “didn’t see” the rider, even when the facts say otherwise.

If you were hurt while riding, Virginia law may allow you to seek damages for:

  • Hospital bills and ongoing care
  • Time missed from work
  • Pain, trauma, and lifestyle changes from your injuries

We recognize the unique risks that come with motorcycle riding, and we never let insurance companies blame the rider just for choosing to be on two wheels.

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle crash, our legal team at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys can listen, explain your rights clearly, and work hard to get you the compensation you need to move forward. We operate on a Zero Fee Guarantee, allowing you to get the immediate help you need without worrying about the upfront legal costs.

Holding Property Owners Accountable for Your Injuries

You have a right to feel safe when visiting someone else’s property, whether it’s a business, a neighbor’s home, or a public place. But when property owners fail to keep their spaces reasonably safe, innocent people can get seriously hurt. You can hold negligent property owners legally and financially responsible if their carelessness leads to an injury. We stand with people across Eastern Virginia who have been hurt in dangerous conditions that never should have existed in the first place.

Slip-and-fall cases might sound minor, but the injuries they cause can be anything but. Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injuries, especially among older adults. A single fall can lead to broken bones, head injuries, or permanent mobility issues, all because someone failed to clean up a spill or fix a broken step.

Common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include:

  • Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
  • Loose floorboards or uneven pavement
  • Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking lots
  • Ice or snow buildup that wasn’t properly cleaned up

Virginia law requires property owners to correct dangerous conditions or, at the very least, warn visitors about them. But proving fault isn’t always easy. You’ll need to show that the owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and didn’t act in time. That’s where a strong legal strategy comes in. Our Virginia personal injury attorneys gather surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements to build a clear timeline and hold the responsible party accountable.

Dog bites can leave both physical and emotional scars. Dog owners are legally responsible if they knew their animal had a history of aggression or failed to take proper precautions.

Even a single bite can lead to serious complications, especially for children or elderly victims. Some of the most common consequences of dog attacks include:

  • Deep puncture wounds and lacerations
  • Infections requiring hospitalization
  • Long-term nerve damage or disfigurement
  • Trauma and anxiety around animals

Virginia follows what’s sometimes called the “one-bite rule,” but that doesn’t mean owners are off the hook if their dog has never bitten before. If an owner failed to leash, contain, or properly supervise a dog, the dog owner can still be held legally liable. Each case depends on the facts; having an attorney who has an in-depth understanding of Virginia law and a methodical strategy is crucial.

When you’re injured on someone else’s property, the consequences can follow you long after the incident. At GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we help people across Virginia get the compensation they need to recover and move forward. If you’ve been hurt in a fall or attacked by a dog.

Compassionate Advocacy for Catastrophic & Sensitive Cases

Some personal injury cases involve far more than broken bones or car damage, affecting your life, your identity, and your sense of safety. If you or someone you love has faced a traumatic event, such as abuse, assault, or the sudden loss of a family member, you deserve support from someone who truly listens and takes meaningful action.

GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys addresses these sensitive cases with the care and discretion they require, while also fighting fiercely to protect your legal rights.

Massage therapy is meant to be a healing experience. When a therapist crosses the line, through inappropriate touch, coercion, or any form of sexual misconduct, it’s a serious violation of trust and safety. This kind of abuse is not only a criminal offense but also grounds for a civil lawsuit.

We understand how difficult it can be to come forward. We handle each case with full confidentiality and compassion, while also preparing to take bold legal action.

Abuse that occurs in trusted spaces like churches, youth organizations, or community groups can leave lifelong emotional wounds. Survivors often struggle not only with the harm caused by the abuser but also with the silence or cover-ups that followed.

Organizations can be held accountable when they:

  • Failed to properly screen or supervise staff and volunteers
  • Ignored warning signs or reports of past misconduct
  • Allowed abusive individuals continued access to children or vulnerable adults

We help survivors hold both individuals and institutions accountable. These cases require careful investigation, documentation, and often, collaboration with law enforcement or advocacy groups. We advocate for your rights, making sure you are heard, and pushing for justice in a system that sometimes fails the most vulnerable.

Losing a loved one because of someone else’s carelessness or misconduct can have a deep, compounding impact. Alongside the grief, you may also face financial challenges, especially if your family depended on that loved one’s income or support. Wrongful death claims allow certain family members to seek compensation for both tangible and intangible damages.

These claims can cover:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of income and future financial support
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and care
  • Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members

The law sets specific rules about who can file a wrongful death claim and when it must be filed. The legal process can feel daunting during such a painful time. We’re here to provide clarity, protect your rights, and help carry the legal burden so your family can focus on healing.

If you’re facing a deeply personal legal matter, like sexual abuse, institutional abuse, or the sudden loss of a loved one, know that you are not alone.

Our team at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys offers more than just legal skill; we bring compassion, discretion, and a fierce dedication to justice.

Contact us at (804) 413-6777 or our toll-free number (855) 781-6777 today for a confidential consultation. We’ll listen without judgment, explain your options clearly, and walk beside you every step of the way.

We Fight For Every Dollar of Compensation You Deserve

After a serious injury, the physical pain is only part of the burden. You might be dealing with missed work, rising medical costs, and stress about how to make ends meet. On top of that, there’s the emotional toll; the grief, fear, and the loss of the life you had before the accident. The law allows you to recover damages for both the financial and non-financial impact of your injuries.

Economic damages refer to the tangible financial losses you’ve experienced as a result of your injury. These are often straightforward to identify, but can be much larger than expected once everything is totaled.

These may include:

  • Emergency room care and hospital stays
  • Follow-up appointments, therapy, and rehabilitation
  • Prescription medications and medical equipment
  • Lost wages from time off work
  • Lost earning potential if your injuries prevent you from returning to your job

You’re entitled to recover all reasonable medical costs associated with your injury. But insurance companies often try to minimize the value of your claim. They may dispute the necessity of certain treatments or argue that your injuries aren’t as serious as your doctor says. We push back with detailed records, strong medical testimony, and a clear breakdown of what your recovery is truly costing you.

Not every loss comes with a receipt. Some of the deepest wounds are emotional. Virginia law allows you to seek compensation for those as well. These non-economic damages recognize that pain isn’t just physical. It affects your relationships, your sense of identity, and your ability to enjoy life.

This category may include:

  • Chronic physical pain or discomfort
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, or depression
  • Loss of enjoyment of life or daily activities
  • Sleep disruption, PTSD, or lingering trauma
  • Strain on relationships with family and friends

Unlike economic losses, these aren’t easily calculated with a formula. It takes time, attention, and experience to present your story in a way that clearly shows how your life has changed. We listen closely, gather evidence from doctors and loved ones, and make sure your personal experience is part of the case, not just the paperwork.

You’ve already lost enough. Now it’s time to claim what the law says you deserve. At GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, we don’t leave anything on the table when it comes to your financial recovery. From the hospital bills to the sleepless nights, we fight to make sure every part of your hardship is recognized and compensated.

Contact us today to speak with one of our seasoned personal injury attorneys. Let’s work together to hold the responsible party fully accountable for what you’ve endured.

Prepared for Every Step, Treated Like Family

Zero Fee Guarantee. Maximum Results.

Your case gets the personal attention and expertise it deserves from day one.

We Handle the Details So You Can Focus on Healing

After an injury, your time and energy should go toward getting better, not dealing with insurance companies or sorting through legal paperwork. We believe that legal help should lighten your load, not add to it. We take care of the legal work from day one, while making sure you are heard and supported throughout the entire process.

What Does a Skilled Virginia Personal Injury Attorney Do?

When you contact us, we don’t start with forms; we start with a conversation. You’ll speak directly with one of our attorneys, who will take the time to listen to your story and ask the right questions.

Together, we’ll look at the key facts of your case, including:

  • What happened and who may be responsible
  • The types of injuries you sustained and how they’ve affected your daily life
  • Any medical treatment you’ve received or may need in the future
  • How the incident has impacted your work, finances, and family

We’re careful and deliberate because even a small detail can make or break a case. A comprehensive analysis of your case can help equip a strong strategy aimed at securing the best possible outcome for your claim

Committed to Keeping You Informed at Every Stage of Your Case

You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on with your case. We keep our clients updated at every key moment, and we’re always available to answer your questions, no matter how big or small they might seem.

Here’s what you can expect along the way:

  • Regular check-ins to update you on progress or any new developments
  • Clear explanations of your options before making major decisions
  • Ongoing communication about negotiations, timelines, and next steps

Our job is to protect your rights in and out of the courtroom. But we also believe in giving you peace of mind while we do it. We know how stressful legal matters can be, especially when you’re still in pain or recovering. That’s why we stay in touch, stay honest, and treat your case as if it were our own.

You shouldn’t have to chase down paperwork or argue with insurance adjusters while you’re healing. We take care of the legal side so you can focus on what matters most: your health, your family, and your future. 

How Our Contingency Fee Agreement Works for You

We believe everyone should have access to strong legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. Our Zero Fee Guarantee model means we get paid only if we recover compensation for you. Here’s how it works:

  • You pay nothing up front, no retainers, no hourly billing
  • We cover the costs of investigating, building, and filing your claim
  • If we win or settle your case, we receive a percentage of the final compensation
  • If we don’t recover anything, you owe us nothing

This approach aligns our goals with yours. You’ll know exactly where things stand, no hidden fees and no surprises throughout the process.

Gloucester County injury attorneys

Gloucester County’s history goes back to the earliest days of the European settlement of the United States. Our county is where the Native American village of Werowocomoco once stood. If you’re not familiar with that site, it was the birthplace of Pocahontas and where, according to legend, she laid her head over the head of Captain John Smith to save his life.

Our county is also home to the Rosewell ruins, the brick remains of the once-grand Rosewell Mansion, which was first constructed in 1725.

The birth of our nation also has roots in this county. The Revolutionary War Battle of the Hook was fought here in 1781. Some skirmishes could have occurred right in front of our office. This engagement was important because it cut off General Cornwallis’ supply line and prevented his escape, leading to his surrender at Yorktown. Periodically, thousands of participants engage in reenactments of the Battle of the Hook, and Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown.

Located on Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, Gloucester County has approximately 500 miles of tidal shoreline, including scenic inlets, beaches, and marinas. Its proximity to so many rivers and the Chesapeake Bay make our county ideal for all types of water activities, including sailing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, swimming, and fishing.

Our inland area has its charms too, with nature trails, a lake, campgrounds, a golf course, and lush parks.

Throughout the year, Gloucester County has activities for people of all ages. There’s history, music, festivals, tours, entertainment, parades, and more. If music is your thing, our county has “Symphony Under the Stars,” “Concerts on the Green,” and “Blues ‘n Brews,” just to name a few. In fact, our attorney Ken Gibson is a member of The Ballast Band, a local group that mixes rock n’ roll with a blues and funk, and often participates in local charity events.

Other county-wide celebrations include our annual Daffodil Festival, the Chamber Wine Festival at Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, the Ruritan Seafood festival, Gloucester Arts on Main’s festival, the Main St. Renaissance festival, Comic-Con at our public library, and so much more.

Whether you’re just visiting or making a home here to take advantage of the many fine schools and churches, Gloucester County has plenty of excellent restaurants, places to stay, and places to shop.
