Preparing for Your First Meeting

To make the most of your consultation with Brien Roche, it’s important to gather key documents and details related to your case. Bringing the following items will help him assess your claim and provide clear guidance:

  • Contact info for the other party and their insurance company
  • Copies of all communication with insurers
  • A police report or any documentation from the scene
  • Damage estimates, repair receipts, or towing/storage bills
  • Names and phone numbers of witnesses
  • Photos of the scene and any visible injuries

Note: Most health insurers reserve the right to recover costs they’ve paid if a settlement is reached.

What Qualifies as a Personal Injury?

A personal injury refers to harm done to your body, mind, or emotional well-being — not to property. Brien Roche can represent you in claims involving a wide range of injuries, including:

  • Physical injuries
  • Emotional distress
  • Mental trauma

If you’ve experienced pain, loss, or suffering due to someone else’s negligence, you don’t have to face the legal process alone. Contact personal injury lawyer Brien Roche today to discuss your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

To file a personal injury claim in Virginia, two key elements must be proven: liability and damages.

  • Liability means showing that another party was at fault — typically through negligence.
  • Damages refer to the physical, emotional, or financial harm you suffered as a result.

 

A personal injury lawyer can help evaluate both parts of your case during a consultation.

Proving a personal injury claim depends on the type of case:

  • In a car accident, it may involve showing the other driver violated traffic laws.
  • In medical malpractice, it means proving a breach of the medical standard of care.
  • For premises liability (like a slip and fall), it often requires showing the property owner failed to fix or warn of a known hazard.
  • In product liability cases, proof often comes from showing the product was defective — whether in design, manufacturing, or marketing — and that defect caused your injury.

 

Photos, witness statements, expert opinions, and documentation all help support your claim.

Anyone who breached a legal duty of care and caused your injury may be held legally responsible — including individuals, businesses, property owners, or government agencies.

Under Virginia law, this duty of care (known as a tort duty) is a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid causing harm to others. If someone fails to meet that standard — for example, by ignoring safety rules, failing to maintain property, or acting recklessly — their conduct may be considered negligent.

Common examples of negligence include:

  • A driver running a red light
  • A store failing to clean up a spill
  • A landlord ignoring hazardous conditions
  • A manufacturer releasing a dangerous product

 

Once your personal injury lawyer shows that a legal duty existed, that the duty was breached, and that the breach caused harm, you may have a strong case for compensation.

Most personal injury claims in Virginia must be filed within two years of the injury date, under the state’s statute of limitations. However, exceptions apply in certain cases involving minors, government entities, or delayed discovery of injuries.

It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and avoid missing deadlines.

A personal injury claim may entitle you to compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost income or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Out-of-pocket costs
