Personal Injury
Each year, millions of people in Virginia are injured in accidents. The sad reality is that many accidents are not accidents at all - they are caused by the preventable carelessness or recklessness of others. The law protects those harmed by negligent parties and allows the injured to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. 

While not every injured person needs an attorney, we encourage everyone to at least consult one to make sure you understand your rights. Never sign anything until you have talked to an attorney as you may be forfeiting your rights permanently. If you, a friend, or family member has sustained significant or substantial injury, you or they may be entitled to receive fair and just compensation for physical and psychological injuries. To protect your rights and make certain that you are taking all of the necessary steps in the recovery process, you should contact a personal injury attorney at the outset.  

In far too many cases a claimant’s case can be hurt because he/she did not see a doctor or therapist quickly enough or because he/she did not do or take steps that would aid the claim. Insurance companies will employ significant resources to challenge your claim in order to minimize its value or use their resources to defend it to the best of their ability. Noorishad Law, P.C. can help level the playing field and will work diligently to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

2.  What do I do if I am injured in a slip and fall accident? 

Most businesses and homeowners carry liability insurance to protect them in the event that someone is injured while on their property. The owner or possessor of a residence, land or place of business has the duty to exercise reasonable care for the protection of those individuals who are invited to come upon the premises; i.e. individuals visiting for business or pleasure. In such cases, the owner, company or person must inspect the premises to discover any dangerous conditions and warn the invitee of dangers upon said premises. Those injured by a negligent owner or possessor of a premise may recover damages for their injuries, including loss of income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, etc. Noorishad Law, P.C. has the experience and reputation that you need to aggressively stand up for your rights and get you the compensation that you deserve when you have been seriously injured in a slip and fall accident.

3.  What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider - a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital or hospital worker - whose performance of duties deviates from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients. Most medical malpractice cases are based on the concept of negligence - that is, the patient was harmed because the health care provider failed to meet the required standards of skill and care, in accordance with generally accepted standards. Instances of malpractice might include cutting off the oxygen supply during surgery, misdiagnosing an injury because routine tests and procedures were not followed, or prescribing an illegal drug or one not approved for the patient's condition. Noorishad Law, P.C. represents seriously injured medical malpractice victims and can advise you on the merits of your individual case when you call for your initial consultation.
