At The Johnson Injury Firm, we’ve helped countless injury victims take the right steps when it matters most. Follow this essential guide to protect yourself and your future:

1. Get Medical Help Immediately

Your health comes first. Even if your injuries seem minor, see a doctor right away. Early care protects you from hidden complications and creates a medical record that helps tie your injuries directly to the incident.

2. Preserve the Evidence

Use your phone to capture the scene, the hazards, and your injuries in vivid detail. This evidence could be the turning point in proving your claim.

3. Gather Key Information

Collect names, phone numbers, and insurance details of witnesses and all involved parties. The information you gather at the scene can help strengthen your case.

4. Make an Official Report

Notify the right authorities or property owners and ensure every fact is recorded accurately in official reports.

5. Stay Silent — Except to Your Lawyer

Avoid giving statements to insurance companies or posting details on social media. Anything you say could be used against you.

Personal Injury Legal Process

Pursuing a personal injury claim may feel overwhelming. However, with The Johnson Injury Firm, you have an experienced team by your side. Here, we break down the process so you know what to expect at each step and how we fight for you.

1

Initial Consultation

The legal journey begins with an initial consultation, where potential clients share their incident details and injuries with our experienced team. We assess the feasibility of the claim, outline possible legal avenues, and establish the foundation for representation.

2

Case Investigation

A thorough investigation is paramount to building a strong case. Our attorneys gather evidence, interview witnesses, and collaborate with experts to reconstruct the accident scene. This process includes obtaining police reports, medical records, and any documentation supporting the client’s claim.

3

Filing the Complaint

Once sufficient evidence is compiled, a formal complaint is drafted and filed with the court. This legal document outlines the plaintiff’s case against the defendant, including the nature of the injuries and the damages sought. Ensuring accuracy and precision in this document is critical, as it sets the stage for the following legal proceedings.

4

Discovery Phase

During the discovery phase, both parties exchange relevant information about the case. This phase entails depositions, interrogatories, and requests for admissions or documents. Our attorneys leverage this opportunity to uncover critical details that bolster our client’s position while carefully responding to discovery requests from the opposing side.

5

Settlement

A significant number of personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement. Our experienced negotiators engage with the defendant’s legal team and insurers to strive for a fair settlement that accurately reflects our client’s losses. We prioritize client involvement, presenting all offers and providing expert advice before making decisions.

6

Trial Preparation

If a satisfactory settlement cannot be achieved, trial preparation becomes the focus. Our attorneys develop a compelling case strategy supported by expert witnesses and well-prepared testimonies. We dedicate extensive time crafting persuasive arguments and visual presentations to effectively communicate our client’s position to the judge and jury.

7

Verdict and Potential Appeal

Upon concluding the trial, the judge or jury delivers a verdict. Should the need arise to contest an unfavorable decision, our attorneys are prepared to navigate the appellate process. We continue to support our clients, evaluating the grounds for appeal and pursuing all legal remedies available.

8

Ongoing Support

The conclusion of a legal case does not end our commitment to client service. We assist with enforcement of settlements or verdicts, ensuring that compensation is received promptly. Additionally, we offer guidance on any subsequent legal issues, maintaining a relationship based on trust and support.

1

Initial
Consultation

From the very first conversation, our mission is to protect your future. We listen closely to your story, answer your questions, and outline a clear plan forward. Whether your case heads toward settlement or trial, you’ll know you have a fierce advocate in your corner from day one.

2

Case
Investigation

We leave no stone unturned. Our attorneys collect hard evidence, speak with witnesses, consult with experts, and work to reconstruct the events that led to your injury. We secure police reports, medical records, and every piece of proof needed to build a rock-solid case on your behalf.

3

Filing the
Complaint

Once your case is ready, we draft and file a formal complaint with the court — a powerful legal document that clearly states your injuries, the damages you’ve suffered, and why the defendant must be held accountable. This step is the foundation for everything that follows.

4

Discovery
Phase

In this stage, both sides exchange information. We work to find and expose weaknesses in the other party’s case, while strengthening our own. Through depositions, document requests, and expert analysis, we uncover the details that can turn the tide in your favor.

5

Negotiation and
Settlement

Many cases resolve here, but not before we ensure any offer truly reflects the full impact of your injury. Our skilled negotiators face down insurance companies and defense attorneys to secure maximum compensation. You’ll be involved in every decision, armed with expert advice.

6

Trial
Preparation

If the other side won’t be fair, we get ready to fight. We develop a compelling courtroom strategy backed by expert testimony, persuasive visuals, and airtight legal arguments. Our preparation is relentless — because when your future is on the line, nothing less will do.

7

Trial

In court, we stand up and speak for you with passion and precision. We present the evidence, challenge the defense, and make sure the judge and jury see the truth — the harm you’ve suffered and why justice demands a verdict in your favor.

8

Verdict and Potential Appeal

When the verdict comes down, we’re ready. If you win, we move quickly to make sure you receive what’s owed. If we are unable to secure the desired outcome, our team will continue to fight and pursue every appeal option available to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

9

Ongoing
Support

Our commitment to you doesn’t end when the case is closed. We help enforce settlements, guide you through related legal needs, and remain a trusted resource for you and your family. With The Johnson Injury Firm, you gain more than legal representation — you gain a lifelong ally.

FAQ

Answers to Your Most Commonly Asked Questions

Most people have never needed a lawyer when they find themselves injured and in need of legal advice. We hear the following questions from many of our clients. We hope the answers help clarify your options and considerations.

What makes The Johnson Injury Firm different from other Richmond personal injury lawyers?
We’re a boutique law firm that combines aggressive courtroom representation with deeply personal client relationships. You’ll have direct access to your attorney, not just a case manager, and we give you our undivided attention from start to finish.
In most cases, Virginia law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to compensation, so it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Virginia follows a pure contributory negligence rule, meaning if you are found even 1% at fault, you may not be able to recover damages. This makes having a skilled attorney absolutely critical.
We handle car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, wrongful death, slip-and-falls, workplace injuries, and more — always with the same focus: getting you the maximum recovery possible.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and no attorney’s fees unless we win your case.
Many cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. If the insurance company refuses to be fair, we’re ready to fight for you in front of a judge and jury.
We gather evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, medical records, and expert testimony to establish liability and strengthen your claim.
Seek medical care right away, document the scene with photos or videos, collect contact information from witnesses, avoid making statements to insurance adjusters, and contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Your compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term impact on your life. We fight to ensure every loss is accounted for.
Local attorneys understand Virginia’s laws, court systems, and insurance company tactics. Our Richmond-based team knows the judges, understands local procedures, and uses that insight to your advantage.
