Personal Injury

bicycle accidents in the DMV

What happens when you are hurt as the result of a car accident, and your injuries are severe, but the tortfeasor (person who caused the injuries) has insufficient insurance coverage? Blaszkow Legal, PLLC can help you find additional coverage to maximize your recovery.

Underinsured motorist coverage protects insured accident victims against negligent drivers who are insured, however their auto insurance policy limits are insufficient to cover the plaintiff’s damages.

Virginia has implemented some new laws that directly impact traffic safety, and the way we drive. The legislature has created a new class, “vulnerable road users,” such as bicyclists and animal-driven vehicle operators. Additionally, the laws relating to how a motorist stops for a pedestrian has changed.

The pursuit of personal injury claims in today’s world is becoming more challenging. The insurance industry, utilizing highly trained and skilled claims personnel and lawyers will go to great lengths in order to reduce the dollars paid out to you in your case.

he Alexandria Injury Attorney / Blaszkow Legal, PLLC, is acutely aware of concerns raised by the coronavirus pandemic. Many courts have closed, and postponed almost all non-emergent hearings and trials. Several courts, including the Maryland Court of Appeals and Virginia Supreme Court have issued orders staying proceedings.
