What Our Hampton Clients Say
What Compensation Can a Hampton Injury Lawyer Help Me Recover?
A personal injury claim enables you to seek various damages to compensate for your losses. Some of these damages are economic and more easily quantifiable, such as medical bills, lost wages, and prescription drug or medical device costs. Other damages are not as easily quantifiable, like pain, suffering, and loss of companionship. You may be entitled to the following damages:
- Medical expenses – Any past and future medical expenses resulting from the accident, including doctor visits, hospital stays, rehabilitation, blood tests, scans and x-rays, medications, surgeries, follow-up appointments, and more.
- Lost wages – Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be unable to work. Your inability to work could last weeks, months, or longer, resulting in significant lost wages.
- Diminished earning capacity – Your injuries may mean you can’t perform the same work you did before the accident, permanently impacting your ability to earn a living.
- Pain and suffering – You may suffer both physical and emotional pain after an accident. Though difficult to quantify, these damages may be compensable.
- Scarring and disfigurement – Some injuries are truly life-changing and can cause severe scars and even amputations.
- Loss of enjoyment of life – The emotional scars from an accident could make it difficult for you to enjoy the life activities you once did.
Can I Still Be Compensated if I Was Partly at Fault for My Accident?
Unfortunately, Virginia’s contributory negligence laws prohibit accident victims from recovering compensation if they are found to be even minimally responsible for their injuries. It can be difficult to secure compensation for your injuries if the defendants argue that you were partially at fault, but our experienced personal injury attorneys are here to fight back and defend your rights.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Can Help You With
- Car Accident
- Motorcycle Accident
- Railroad Accident
- Bicycle Accident
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Truck Accident
- Premises Liability
- Wrongful Death
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are a common cause of injuries in Hampton. Interstate 664, Interstate 64, U.S. Highway 60 (Kecoughtan Road), U.S. Highway 258 (Mercury Boulevard), Settlers Landing Road, and LaSalle Avenue all see a lot of heavy traffic and accidents.
Though car accidents are common, they are not the only motor vehicle accidents occurring on roadways. Accidents involving commercial trucks can be particularly devastating because of their large size. Motorcycle accidents can also result in catastrophic injuries due to a motorcycle’s lack of stability and insulation from the full impact of a collision.
Premises Liability
Hidden hazards on properties, such as an unmarked wet floor or broken staircase, can cause a slip and fall in stores and other businesses. You could face a long recovery from a painful injury, but filing a premises liability claim may make your financial recovery easier. Premises liability laws protect victims of all ages who are injured on someone else’s property.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful deaths can result from a variety of accidents, including motor vehicle accidents, medical errors, and unsafe property conditions. Our Hampton wrongful death attorneys can help you secure justice, accountability, and compensation for your loved one’s death.
Railroad Accidents
Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers is one of the few law firms that have specialized experience in railroad and FELA cases. The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) has specific rules and regulations governing railroad injury claims. Our attorneys know the ins and outs of this law and how to file a strong claim.
Other Personal Injury Claims
Most personal injury claims are based on the defendant’s negligence. At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, personal injury law is all we do, providing high-quality legal representation to victims injured in a wide range of scenarios. If you believe someone else’s negligence caused your accident, contact our Hampton personal injury attorneys today for a free case evaluation.

Personal Injury FAQs
Most people dealing with the aftermath of an accident have lots of questions about personal injury claims. Below are some of the most common ones we receive:
What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in Hampton?
The Virginia personal injury statute of limitations normally imposes a deadline of two years from the date of the accident that led to your injuries. If you wait more than two years to file a lawsuit, you’ll lose your right to recover compensation. Exceptions exist that change the deadline, but it is best to consult an attorney before relying on them.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, our personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning that there is no fee for our services unless we win your case. If we do win your case, we will charge a pre-negotiated percentage of your settlement or verdict. We also offer free, zero-obligation consultations to ensure you know your legal rights and options at no cost to you.
Will My Case Go To Trial?
Most personal injury cases end in settlements rather than proceeding to trial, but the Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers team is fully equipped to represent you in court if needed to secure full and fair compensation.
