After all, they deal with claims like yours every day. They'll be represented by skilled insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. They'll have considerable resources at their disposal.Hiring a skilled personal injury lawyer puts a skilled legal advocate in your corner and strips the insurance company of these advantages.When you choose Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers to handle your Virginia Beach motorcycle accident claim, we will:Carefully investigate your motorcycle crash to determine how it happened, why, and who's at fault.Gather critical pieces of evidence, such as police reports, toxicology reports, video recordings, driver cell phone records, witness statements, medical records, and damage to physical property and vehicles.Build a compelling legal claim that proves that another party's negligence caused your motorcycle crash and injuries.Defend you against any efforts to shift blame and derail your fight for compensation.Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, which prevents them from manipulating you or pressuring you to accept a deal that's worth less than you deserve.File a lawsuit and bring your motorcycle accident case to trial if you don't receive a fair settlement offer.You need and deserve time to recover from your catastrophic motorcycle accident injuries. That's tough to do when you're trying to navigate an insurance claim or lawsuit.

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new jingle! As THE Car Crash Experts, we understand the importance of letting our community know that we are here to help, and our jingle is one way we are doing just that.But have you ever wondered what goes into creating a jingle? It's not as simple as writing a catchy tune and adding a few lyrics. It takes time, effort, and a lot of creativity to develop a jingle that truly represents our brand. First, we worked with a team of talented composers and musicians to develop the perfect melody that would convey the essence of our law firm. We wanted a tune that would be catchy, memorable, and most importantly, reflect our commitment to helping our clients when they need it most.Next, we brainstormed lyrics that would fit the rhythm and melody of the jingle. It took a lot of time and effort to come up with the right words that would resonate with our audience and convey our message in a concise and impactful way.Once we had the melody and lyrics, we recorded the jingle in a professional studio with a talented singer who brought our vision to life. We made sure to get every note and word perfect so that the final product would be something we could be proud to share with you.We're thrilled with how the jingle turned out, and we hope you'll enjoy it, too!ABOUT COOPER HURLEY INJURY LAWYERSCooper Hurley Injury Lawyers helps those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks or other serious injury and wrongful death cases.

If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina between 1953 and 1987, it is imperative that you listen to this podcast. Something huge happened in Washington recently that will affect hundreds of thousands of veterans and their families, and you deserve to know about it. Here is what is happening: Recently, President Biden signed a bill that will allow military personnel and their families that were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune to bring new claims for compensation.The government knowingly allowed over 1 million Camp Lejeune residents and workers to drink contaminated water for decades, resulting in toxic exposure that led to cancer, birth defects, and other tragic injuries.Now, qualifying individuals are eligible to receive compensation for their injuries caused by the toxic water at the military base.Qualifying individuals include veterans, family members, non-military (civilian) workers, contractors, and any other person who lived or worked at the base for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987.To see the list of qualifying injuries for which compensation may be available, click here.For families who have suffered illnesses like cancer or birth defects after living or working at this Marine Corps base, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is groundbreaking and well overdue. As injury attorneys with decades of experience in this field, it is extremely rare to see this level of compensation and acknowledgment made available to our military members who truly deserve it. Our desire is for every single person who suffered due to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune to have their story heard and receive the compensation they deserve for what they have been through. Right now, our team at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers is helping several Camp Lejeune families throughout Virginia and North Carolina, but we know there are many more who are eligible. If you or anyone you know has been affected by the toxic water at Camp Lejeune, please give us a call for a free consultation at 757-333-3333. We are ready to answer your questions and determine whether you have a case.

Stephanie was a young lady in her early 20s who came to us after having been involved in a horrific accident in Hampton, Virginia. She was a backseat passenger in a convertible that was driving down somewhat of a windy road that went down through a ditch and then hit a tree head-on. Stephanie was thrown from the back seat, several feet away from the vehicle, and was found kind of in the wooded area when EMTs arrived and some bystanders came to assist. Stephanie had a number of fears when she first came to Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers. At that point, she was still in the initial recovery stages for her injuries, but at the time that this happened, Stephanie was in the military and served as United States Navy military police officer. Both her parents had been in the military, and Stephanie's intentions were to make a career out of the military, serve 20 years, and then transition into civilian employment.One of the things that we did to ease her concerns when it came to her career was to hire what's called a vocational expert. What a vocational expert does in a personal injury case is they evaluate someone's career and work with the restrictions that are placed on an individual by the the treating physicians and evaluate those to make a determination as to what sort of career is appropriate for someone and what is not. And through the work that we did with our vocational expert, it was very clear that Stephanie was not going to be able to continue the United States Navy, and as a result, would suffer a loss in what's called earning capacity- how much she could earn over the years going forward.And through our vocational expert, we were able to work up a figure that demonstrated the difference in what Stephanie could earn in the military as opposed to what she's expected to earn as a beautician following her completion of cosmetology school. The great thing about that is we were able to present that as a damage in her personal injury case, and it's something that we were able to recover for her from the insurance company, so that any difference in wage that she may experience going forward is something that she's recuperated, and she can move on without those fears any longer. She's not going to be able to get back her Navy career, but thankfully we were able to help her kind of bridge the gap between what those earnings would have been.So through all of this, we were able to get the insurance company away from being tethered to her initial medical bills of $70,000 and getting much more than two, three, or four times than that amount.What can you take away from Stephanie's case if you've been injured in a car crash that wasn't your fault? First, don't take what the insurance company says initially to you as necessarily the truth or the final say. Insurance companies are looking to resolve claims as quickly as possible for as little as possible. Second, it is important to work with a personal injury attorney who has the right tools to contact and engage the necessary experts that can really help prove up future damages. These are things that require expert assistance, and at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, we're very experienced in finding these experts, getting them the information that they need, and preparing them for testimony. In Stephanie's case, it was vital. Our Virginia Beach car accident attorneys at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers help those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks every day.

After a car accident, the at-fault driver's insurance company has one primary goal: to close your case as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Adjusters are car insurance companies' "boots on the ground" and are trained to ask leading questions to elicit information that will be used against you in your claim. Insurance adjusters are NOT the same as insurance agents, and it's important to know the difference between the two. Hear from a former insurance adjuster with over 20 years of experience on what you should say after a car accident that wasn't your fault. In this revealing interview, car accident attorney Griffin O'Hanlon of Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers asks senior analyst Daniel Jarman about his experience as a former insurance adjuster for a well-known car insurance agency. Together, they answer top questions we hear from our clients about dealing with insurance adjusters, including: What is the primary role of an insurance adjuster, and how significant is their role in a personal injury case? After seeking medical treatment, the first call should be to your own insurance company, right? What are some “need-to-knows” when talking to an adjuster at your insurance company? Do the same rules apply when talking to the at-faults driver's insurance adjuster? What if you and the at-fault driver share the same insurance company? We often talk about the “dirty tricks” that car insurance companies use to get accident victims to settle their claims early or pay them less than their case is worth. These often happen at the hands of the insurance adjuster. Can you share what some of those tactics are? How does involving a personal injury attorney change this dynamic between the injured party and the at-fault driver's insurance adjuster? Are there any scenarios where it makes sense to deal directly with the adjuster? What are some need-to-knows in those cases?You used to work for a well-known insurance company before joining us as an analyst and negotiator. Based on your experience, what are some things that insurance companies don't want you to know about the claims process? ABOUT COOPER HURLEY INJURY LAWYERSCooper Hurley Injury Lawyers was founded to ensure those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks are treated fairly and properly compensated.

Our client was ten years old when the car he was in t-boned the front driver door of a construction vehicle after attempting to cross our client's lane of travel. Following a cervical MRI and neurosurgery consultation, our client was diagnosed with two ligament tears. He was fitted with a cervical collar that he was required to wear at all times for eight weeks. Thankfully, the ligament tears healed and his cervical spine was overall stable. However, our client was given the unfortunate news that he would forever be at an increased risk for a more severe cervical injury. The neurosurgeon advised that our client refrain from all contact sports. Our client had been an active child who played organized basketball and football prior to his wreck. In order to secure the compensation we knew our client deserved, we filed suit against the construction company, its employee-driver, and our client's host driver.Eventually, a two-day jury trial was had in the Norfolk Circuit Court. After over four hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our client against the construction company and employee-driver in the amount of $250,000, a staggering 10x the amount of the insurance company's original offer. We are proud to have secured this verdict for our young client. While it's rare for personal injury cases to go all the way to court, it is important that your attorney has the litigation experience and resources to take your case to trial if the insurance company isn't playing fair. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident and you have questions about your case, call us anytime for a free consultation at 757-333-3333.
