Personal Injury

Richmond Personal Injury Law

Injuries caused by the negligence of another person or entity happen suddenly and without warning. These injuries require individuals and families to rearrange their lives, pay large medical bills, lose time from work, or lose their jobs entirely. Locke & Otto represents individuals who sustain injuries from occurrences such as auto accidents, trucking accidents, dangerous products, and dangerous properties.

When someone has been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, many questions arise. Call Locke Family Law and we will answer your questions, including:

• Who will pay my medical bills?
• How do insurance companies value cases?
• How much will this case cost me?
• Will I have to go to court?
• How long will this process take?
• I already have a lawyer – Can I change?
• Can I get a rental car and who will pay for it?

Personal Injury Handled Personally

An attorney will primarily handle your claim – not support staff. We work directly with our clients to understand the impact our clients’ injuries have on their lives. We use this background to develop compelling arguments for your personal injury claim. Our goal is to reach a settlement that is fair and will appropriately compensate for your injuries and to aggressively pursue your claim with a jury.

Auto, Trucking, & Motorcycle Accidents

We provide quality representation to individuals who are injured in car, tractor-trailer, and motorcycle accidents. Negligent drivers and hazardous roads put safe drivers at risk for serious injuries. We help clients obtain compensation for injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.



Injuries From Defective Products & Dangerous Properties

Dangerous and poorly manufactured products can cause severe harm or death to the people who use and rely on those products. We represent individuals who have been injured from unsafe products such as tires, seat belts, airbags, and household items. Property owners have the duty to adequately maintain and secure their property. We represent clients who have been injured from the negligence of property owners. We help clients obtain compensation for injuries resulting from accidents such as slip and falls and dog bites.

Professional Malpractice

Medical, dental, and legal professionals are required to uphold certain standards and ethical practices when working with patients and clients. We represent clients with valid claims of professional malpractice. Call our firm if professional negligence has resulted in injury or wrongdoing.

Fatal Accidents

We help spouses, parents, and children with wrongful death claims on behalf of loved ones. Auto accidents, trucking accident, medical negligence, and dangerous properties can result in fatalities. Our attorneys are highly skilled in assessing and valuing the loss of your loved one. We pursue compensation for medical bills, future earnings, and loss of companionship. Obtaining compensation provides closure to the tragedy and allows family members to move forward.



Wrongful Death

Since the elements of damage in a wrongful death case are different from damages in other personal injury cases, the presentation of evidence at trial of a wrongful death case is necessarily different. As with any type of litigation, an attorney experienced in presenting a wrongful death case to a jury can make a huge difference for the beneficiaries. The personal injury lawyers at Locke & Otto each have experience in wrongful death cases. Click here to learn more.

Daycare Injuries

Claims against daycares and preschools for injuries to a child can be brought under theories of assault and battery, negligent hiring, negligent entrustment, negligent retention or supervision, and general negligence claims including gross negligence and negligence per se if violation of a statute is involved. It is critical to select a safe daycare or preschool environment for your child and adequate protection in the event of an injury.
