EXPERIENCED IN VARIOUS AREAS OF PRACTICE What We Do
What Kind of Compensation Can I Receive for My Injuries?
Nearly every accident carries some degree of loss—both economic and non-economic in nature. When someone else is at fault for the accident, you shouldn’t have to struggle with these losses (or, in legal terms, “damages”) on your own. A successful personal injury claim/lawsuit can help you recover compensation for your damages, including but not limited to:
- Medical expenses associated with the accident, including: Emergency medical treatment costs, ambulance and/or airlift fees, all treatment required due to your injuries, ongoing medical care, such as rehabilitation therapy, medications and equipment (wheelchairs, ramps, etc.), mental health care, and known, required future medical treatment
- Lost income/wages
- Reduced or lost earning ability (disability)
- Pain
- Suffering, including reduced or lost life quality, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, etc.
Note that this list is neither exhaustive nor guaranteed; every situation is unique and the exact compensation you may be able to recover will depend on a variety of factors related to your case.

Do I have to accept the settlement the insurance company offers me?If you have already been dealing with your insurance company for some time and they are giving you their final settlement offer, you should always consult with a professional accident lawyer before accepting.

-
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Virginia?A statute of limitations puts a time limit on how long after your accident you are eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. According to Virginia Code section 8.01-243(A), the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident. There are a few exceptions to this law, but in general, if you don't file your lawsuit within the specified time-frame you risk having your case dismissed.

I was in a motorcycle accident the day before Father’s Day in 2023 and the outcome would have been over a million dollar case but because of some circumstances, I was facing debt well over $500,000 and I would have been forced to file bankruptcy! Matthew Westmoreland got it to where ALL of my medical bills were covered at UVA AND worked his magic and somehow made it so that I actually got a settlement check (no matter how big or little the check was), I HIGHLY recommend Matthew Westmoreland 1,000 times over!!! And he took care of literally EVERY stressful problem/question/concern I had and made it that much easier on me! Thank you Matthew Westmoreland for EVERYTHING!- Mandi L.
