Personal Injury Litigation in Northern Virginia

Personal Injury Cases

After suffering a serious personal injury, many people think that the person who caused the injury will automatically pay for his or her medical costs and a little something extra for pain and suffering.  Unfortunately, it is not so simple.  People who cause injuries do not always have the money or insurance to cover such payments.  Nor do they readily acknowledge their fault in causing the injuries.  Even if they do, they may disagree about how much money you are entitled.  At Curcio Law, we have more than 25 years of experience in civil litigation in Northern Virginia, including:

• finding the people responsible for causing your injury
• finding assets or insurance coverage to pay for the damages
• gathering evidence to establish fault and legal responsibility
• documenting and evaluating your damages
• negotiating settlements
• litigating your claim in court if the responsible party will not agree to a reasonable settlement

The overarching focus of Tom Curcio's law practice is personal injury.  He knows the tactics that negligent parties and their insurance companies use to avoid paying fair compensation.  That is why he prepares every case as if it were going to go to trial. In this way, he can convince the responsible parties, their insurance companies, and their lawyers that you are prepared to go to trial if necessary to obtain the full and fair compensation to which you are legally entitled for your personal injuries.

Litigation

Some clients do not want to go to court.  They are afraid of the time, cost and stress involved in getting a case to trial. Fortunately, the vast majority of cases do settle out of court.  Even if a lawsuit is filed, most cases settle before trial.  However, certain steps might have to be taken before settling, such as answering interrogatories, producing medical records, sitting for a deposition, or undergoing a medical exam.  Alexandria personal injury attorney Tom Curcio will explain all of these procedures to you and guide you through them to put you at ease and enhance the presentation of your case. And, most important, if necessary, he will be fully prepared to stand beside you and argue your case to a judge or jury when it is time for your day in court.

Settlement

Not all cases are tried to a judge or jury.   Some cases are resolved through arbitration, a much less formal proceeding where the parties select a neutral person, or a panel of arbitrators, to evaluate and decide the case.  In other cases, a mediator is brought in to help the parties negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.  In any event, Alexandria personal injury lawyer Tom Curcio will represent your best interests and advise you about the best course to pursue in resolving your case.  He will also advise you about the timing of settlement negotiations and settlement offers.  You should never settle before you know the full extent of your injuries.  In most cases, you should accept a settlement only when your doctors have released you from treatment, or when they have evaluated whether you will have any chronic or permanent residual injuries as a result of the other party's negligence.
