Chapter 01
Where an injury claim goes sideways
The crash or the workplace accident is rarely the hardest part. What follows is: medical bills that arrive before anyone has agreed who pays, an adjuster who wants a statement, a paycheck that stops, and a number somebody calls fair before the full picture is known. In catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, the early steps carry the most weight.
Insurance limits are one place a claim can stall. The firm has written about it on its own blog, in a post titled "How Low Insurance Limits Can Dramatically Reduce Your Injury Recovery." When the policy on the other side is small, how a claim is built matters long before anyone talks about settlement.

How the firm works an injury case
Cornerstone Law Group's personal injury practice draws on over 30 years' experience, and the lawyers are trial lawyers who appear in Virginia courts almost daily. That courtroom habit shapes the preparation: the records, the bills and the timeline are put together the way a judge or jury would need to see them.
The practice covers car, truck and motorcycle accidents, drunk-driving crashes, workplace injuries, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. In each, the work is aimed at recovering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Because the same firm also handles traffic and criminal matters, a crash that comes with a citation or a drunk-driving charge doesn't send you looking for a second firm. The furthest you should have to walk is down the hall.

What to bring, and what happens next
Bring what you have: the accident or incident report, photographs, medical records and bills, pay stubs or notes on missed work, and the insurance details for every vehicle involved. A rough folder is a fine start. Nobody expects it sorted.
The first consultation is free. Call (540) 898-8881 and the Fredericksburg office will find a time. The firm also keeps offices across Northern and Central Virginia, listed on the offices page.
Injury claims run on deadlines, so call sooner rather than later. A consultation is a conversation about your situation, not a promise about how it ends.
