What steps should I take after a Motorcycle Accident?
Partner Bill O'Mara joins us for this brief episode to share some of the steps you should take directly following a motorcycle wreck. Regardless of how your motorcycle accident happened or who’s at fault, you’re probably going to be dealing with an insurance company when you pursue compensation.Insurance companies will have an advantage during this process from the very beginning. After all, they deal with claims like yours every day. They’ll be represented by skilled insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. They’ll have considerable resources at their disposal.Hiring a skilled personal injury lawyer puts a skilled legal advocate in your corner and strips the insurance company of these advantages.When you choose Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers to handle your Virginia Beach motorcycle accident claim, we will:Carefully investigate your motorcycle crash to determine how it happened, why, and who’s at fault.Gather critical pieces of evidence, such as police reports, toxicology reports, video recordings, driver cell phone records, witness statements, medical records, and damage to physical property and vehicles.Build a compelling legal claim that proves that another party’s negligence caused your motorcycle crash and injuries.Defend you against any efforts to shift blame and derail your fight for compensation.Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, which prevents them from manipulating you or pressuring you to accept a deal that’s worth less than you deserve.File a lawsuit and bring your motorcycle accident case to trial if you don’t receive a fair settlement offer.You need and deserve time to recover from your catastrophic motorcycle accident injuries. That’s tough to do when you’re trying to navigate an insurance claim or lawsuit. Let our accomplished motorcycle accident attorneys in Virginia Beach take the lead on your case so that you can focus on getting better.ABOUT COOPER HURLEY INJURY LAWYERSCooper Hurley Injury Lawyers helps those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks or other serious injury and wrongful death cases.

Why is it important to hire an attorney after a Rideshare Accident?

Why is it important to hire an attorney after a Rideshare Accident?
Rideshare services revolutionized public transportation, giving customers a fast, easy way to catch a ride almost anywhere. Unfortunately, ride-sharing also has several downsides, with accidents topping the list.  Unlike other transportation businesses, rideshare companies generally do not consider their drivers employees. This distinction can be confusing if you are involved in a rideshare accident and want to file a claim with an insurance company.  The attorneys at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers are well acquainted with rideshare drivers’ special circumstances. A Virginia rideshare accident lawyer can handle even the most complicated Uber and Lyft cases. If you or someone you love has been injured in a rideshare accident, expert guidance from a lawyer is essential.With more than 120 years of combined experience, Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers have earned the title of “The Car Crash Experts.” We have helped clients recover millions in financial settlements and jury awards. Our case results are a testament to our knowledge and dedication.  An experienced attorney can offer valuable insights, alleviate the stress of communicating with insurance companies, and negotiate a higher settlement. If you choose a Lyft or Uber accident attorney in Virginia, you will gain significant advantages, including:  Affordable representation: You’ll receive a free initial consultation and won’t pay a fee unless we win your case.  Superior customer service: We prioritize individualized customer service and are happy to address your questions and concerns.  Award-winning attorneys: Our team members are nationally recognized as Super Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and Top Lawyers of Coastal Virginia. At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, we focus our time and energy on personal injury victims and never represent insurance companies.

Introducing Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers' New Jingle
We are thrilled to announce the release of our new jingle! As THE Car Crash Experts, we understand the importance of letting our community know that we are here to help, and our jingle is one way we are doing just that.But have you ever wondered what goes into creating a jingle? It's not as simple as writing a catchy tune and adding a few lyrics. It takes time, effort, and a lot of creativity to develop a jingle that truly represents our brand. First, we worked with a team of talented composers and musicians to develop the perfect melody that would convey the essence of our law firm. We wanted a tune that would be catchy, memorable, and most importantly, reflect our commitment to helping our clients when they need it most.Next, we brainstormed lyrics that would fit the rhythm and melody of the jingle. It took a lot of time and effort to come up with the right words that would resonate with our audience and convey our message in a concise and impactful way.Once we had the melody and lyrics, we recorded the jingle in a professional studio with a talented singer who brought our vision to life. We made sure to get every note and word perfect so that the final product would be something we could be proud to share with you.We're thrilled with how the jingle turned out, and we hope you'll enjoy it, too!ABOUT COOPER HURLEY INJURY LAWYERSCooper Hurley Injury Lawyers helps those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks or other serious injury and wrongful death cases.
