Personal Injury
When you are driving your automobile or motorcycle, you know it is your responsibility to operate and control your vehicle in a safe manner. Regrettably other people on the road routinely fail to do so, and as a result of that person’s negligence or reckless driving, you or your passenger(s) may be injured or a loved one may succumb to their injuries. The law firm of McCormack and McCormack has developed over the last 42 plus years a Boutique Personal Injury Practice with extensive experience representing clients who are injured or suffer the unthinkable death of a loved one as a result of another person’s negligent or reckless operation of a motor vehicle.

Personal Injury
It is crucially important that you do not try to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company for the at-fault driver on your own, without having first retained a personal injury attorney to represent your interests, or that of your loved one. Upon being retained on a personal injury or wrongful death case, our office will eliminate your direct involvement with the insurance company. We will gather all of your medical records and secure all information and evidence necessary to be able to ascertain what a reasonable settlement would be, or if the case should proceed to a jury trial for determination of liability and damages to be assessed against the at-fault driver. While a fair settlement is often reached through negotiations between our office and the insurance company, we are fully prepared to reject unreasonable offers and to present your case at a jury trial.

Virginia Is a Contributory Negligence State
Virginia is one of four states, as well as the District of Columbia, that still follow the Contributory Negligence rule. Under this rule, if it is determined that you were just one percent responsible towards the overall cause of the accident, you could be barred from recovering compensation for your injuries. Many insurance companies routinely raise a contributory negligence defense in an effort to avoid payment of valid personal injury or wrongful death claims. The lawyers and paralegal staff of the Boutique Personal Injury Law Firm of McCormack and McCormack are well equipped to counter the contributory negligence claims to quickly move the case through to a favorable resolution, or if necessary to successfully litigate the case before a jury trial.
Let Us Fight For You
At McCormack and McCormack, we will aggressively represent you with the goal of securing the maximum compensation that you are entitled to through settlement negotiations with the insurance company, or if necessary, through the verdict at a jury trial for your injuries. In many large personal injury law firms, you may be dealing with several different paralegals and/or attorneys over an extended period of time, leaving you with the impression that your case has been placed at the bottom of the stack of cases and that the individual you are dealing with does not know the facts of your case. That will not happen at our law firm.
Military – Third Party Collection Program
Under Federal Law, if you receive medical treatment for injuries at a military treatment facility, or if the Federal Government pays the cost of medical treatment rendered by civilian treatment providers, the United Sates is entitled to recoup from the individual responsible for causing your injuries. What this means is that if you or your loved one is a member of the military, or employed by the Federal Government, or a dependent thereof, your attorney will be obligated to secure satisfaction and release of the Federal Government claim for the cost of medical services which is subject to recoupment by the Federal Government. At the law firm of McCormack and McCormack, we deal with the military or Federal Government on a regular basis and will endeavor to reduce to the extent possible the amount of money owed to the Federal Government in order to maximize the net recovery to our clients.
