- Fatal Rollover in Virginia ($1,000,000): Our client’s family received the full policy limits after a front-seat passenger was tragically killed when the vehicle overturned several times.
- Montgomery County Collision ($150,000): Two clients injured in a severe Maryland crash settled for $150,000 after the insurer initially offered less than their medical bills.
- Two-Year Insurance Denial ($100,000): In Washington County, Maryland, our client received the full policy limits just minutes after deposition – ending a two-year standoff with the insurer.
- Disputed Liability Trial ($60,000): A Virginia couple struck by a left-turning driver won their case in court and recovered the maximum available policy limits.
- Denied Claim Reversed ($60,000): After a couple and their horse were injured in a Texas truck crash, our team located a missing witness and proved fault, forcing the insurer to pay full policy limits.

Injuries We Commonly See After Car Accidents
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor discomfort to life-altering trauma.
Our car accident attorneys in Virginia regularly represent clients suffering from whiplash, fractures, spinal and back injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and internal organ damage. In more severe cases, victims face long-term disability, scarring, emotional distress or the tragic loss of a loved one in a wrongful death.
Important: The success of your case depends on proving you suffered injuries. As our founder, Dagoberto J. Rodriguez, explains in this Instagram video, get medical treatment or an evaluation as soon as possible after the accident. Without medical records, it’s very hard to prove your injuries.
Once you’ve received an evaluation, you can call Rodriguez Law Firm to continue your treatment at no upfront cost while we work on your compensation claim. Our partner medical providers are paid directly from your settlement, and we negotiate to reduce those bills so you keep more.
Why Virginia Car Accident Claims Need an Experienced Attorney
Virginia is one of the few states that follows pure contributory negligence. This means that if an insurer can show you were even slightly at fault for the crash, it may try to deny your claim entirely. Insurance companies know this rule well and use it aggressively.
Virginia also generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can mean losing your right to compensation.
An experienced Virginia car accident attorney can gather the evidence needed to establish fault, counter blame-shifting tactics, and make sure your claim is filed on time.
Real Results for Car Accident Clients
Every car accident is unique. Here are examples of outcomes we have achieved for clients, ranging from high-speed collisions to intersection crashes involving significant, long-term injuries.
After our client was struck head-on by a driver who lost control on ice, Attorney Dagoberto from our Manassas office, challenged an initial insurance offer of $0. By establishing liability through an admission of fault and a formal police report, our team successfully secured a $100,000 settlement for the client’s persistent injuries.

After our client sustained deep arm lacerations requiring over 350 stitches, Rodriguez Law Firm attorneys at our Manassas office challenged an initial $25,000 insurance offer. Our team successfully negotiated a $50,000 settlement, the full policy limit.

How Much Compensation Can You Claim?
It depends. The main factors are the severity of your injuries, the the at-fault party’s financial status and the limits of their insurance policies. Our car accident lawyers have secured hundreds of case results for Virginia and DMV-area accident victims ranging from $10,000 to $1 million.
During an interview on the Rodriguez Law Firm YouTube channel, Manuel Diaz, owner of 57 Insurance Agency, explained what an insurance payout is for. It’s meant to help a car accident victim “return to the same or a similar state” as before the accident. This means your compensation should cover:
- The cost of your medical treatment
- Your lost wages
- Your pain and suffering, which insurers often estimate as a multiple of your medical costs and lost wages
- The future costs of all three
As Dagoberto explains in the interview, a person who “becomes a millionaire” following an accident has likely suffered catastrophic injuries – and possibly even lost their life.

How Much Are Rodriguez Law Firm’s Legal Fees?
At Rodriguez Law Firm, we work with a No Win, No Fee promise. This means that if we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us anything.
In the United States, the contingency fee for a car accident is typically between 33% and 40% of your total claim. If a case is likely to go to trial, then some car accident lawyers will charge 40 to 50%. Some fee agreements deduct case expenses on top of the contingency fee, so check yours before you sign.
We don’t believe that’s fair. At Rodriguez Law Firm, your agreement is simple and transparent: no added expenses, no hidden charges. This will be clearly stated in the first clause of the contract you sign when you hire one of our lawyers to represent you.
Our fee is 33% if your case settles, or 40% if it goes to litigation. To get a free consultation on your case, contact us today.
