What Should You Look For In A Richmond Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer?

1. A lawyer who will tell it to you straight.

Our lawyers provide practical, straight forward advice. We are up front with our clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their case, about what the potential outcomes of their cases are, and what our recommendations are and the reasons behind them. Many lawyers hide behind legalese, or are purposefully vague when talking to clients because they want to cover themselves if the case doesn't turn out as well as the client expected. We believe an honest and frank approach is the best method. We are candid with the client in the beginning of the case about our thoughts and game plan for prosecuting their case, and keep them informed at every step of the process.

2. A lawyer with experience in dealing with insurance companies.

The vast majority of personal injury cases settle prior to trial, whether they are settled before litigation begins or at some point after a lawsuit is filed. These settlements are almost always paid by the insurance company who provides insurance coverage to the defendant.

In the past, our lawyers have worked for insurance companies. We have seen how they negotiate settlements and how they defend cases. Now, we use our knowledge and experience for the benefit of our clients when making claims against insurance companies. We know the strategies that will lead to the best settlements.

3. A lawyer who tries cases.

You may be surprised to learn that not all lawyers are trial lawyers. Many lawyers will push for settlement to avoid having to go to trial. Unlike many firms, all of our lawyers try cases. We do not hesitate to take tough cases and go to trial when necessary. If a settlement cannot be made outside of the courtroom, we are more than ready to argue your case in front of a judge or jury. Simply put, you want to be represented by a lawyer that the other side knows is unfraid to take the case to trial. Often times this will let to a favorable settlement. But if your case has to be tried, you need to make sure that you have a veteran trial lawyer in your corner.

4. A lawyer who has been recognized by his or her peers.

Bucci & Dix is designated an 'AV® Preeminent' law firm by the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Directory. Martindale-Hubbell is the facilitator of a peer review rating process. Ratings reflect the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings fall into two categories - legal ability and general ethical standards.

Our lawyers have also been recognized by SuperLawyers and Legal Elite on multiple occasions.

We handle cases throughout Virginia, including Richmond, Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Goochland, Powhatan, Caroline, Dinwiddie, Amelia, and Nottoway.

These are extra damages that are designed to punish the wrongdoer and send a message to others. However, there are a number of elements that have to be proven in order to receive these damages. Call the lawyers at Bucci & Dix for a free consultation if you or a loved one have been injured by a drunk driver.

Personal Injury

Our lawyers have experience litigating and trying a wide variety of personal injury accidents, from auto accidents to medical malpractice, from assault and battery cases to defamation cases. We offer a free consultation and will come to you if necessary.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are among the most tragic of personal injury cases. The remaining family is left to pick up the pieces. A sum of money can never replace the loss of a loved one. But it can help to pay for funeral and future expenses caused by the death of a family member, and can provide a level of comfort in a difficult situation. Call Bucci & Dix for a free consultation.

Tractor Trailer Accidents

Tractor trailer accidents usually cause catastrophic injuries or death due to the vehicle's large size and speed. Commercial vehicles are governed by a variety of rules and regulations and the failure to comply with them could establish negligence on the driver's part. If you've been injured by a large commercial vehicle, call Bucci & Dix for a free consultation.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can cause catastrophic injuries. Last year pedestrians were involved in only 1% of motor vehicle accident cases, but accounted for over 10% of all traffic fatalities. Many times the driver who caused the pedestrian accident attempts to escape liability by claiming that the pedestrian contributed to the accident and is barred from recovering under the doctrine of contributory negligence. The trial lawyers of Bucci & Dix in Richmond, Virginia aggressively represent those pedestrians injured by cars, trucks, buses, and other motor vehicles.

Bus Accidents

We represent people who have been hurt in bus accidents. Many times different rules apply to bus accident cases because buses are "common carriers." Also, a bus may be owned by a government entity that claims it is immune from a lawsuit. Call an experienced trial attorney at Bucci & Dix if you have been injured in a bus accident.

Dog Bites

Dog bites and animal attacks can result in serious and potentially life threatening injuries. Young children are the most frequent victims of animal maulings. If you or a loved one have been hurt by a dog or other animal, call the lawyers of Bucci & Dix today for a free consultation.
