Petersburg Personal Injury Attorney Helping Injury Victims Fight for Justice

Cuthbert Law Offices has successfully litigated personal injury cases for our clients and their families throughout the state of Virginia since 1977.

Petersburg Personal Injury Firm

When a person is injured in an accident, they need to know that their lawyer is someone who understands all that goes into securing a financial settlement. That starts in the investigative process—acquiring the information that can prove the other party’s negligence and ward off any attempts by the defendant’s insurer to disprove the claim. It continues into negotiation—knowing what issues and costs to bring to the table. And there are times when it must be settled in litigation—when a lawyer has to be prepared to make their case to a judge or jury. 

Experience is a great teacher. Clients that come through the door at Cuthbert Law Offices get the benefit of all the experience we’ve gained since 1977. We’ve spent that time fighting for people across Virginia and working towards the fair settlements they rely on and deserve.

Millions Recovered on Behalf of Our Clients Notable Verdicts & Settlements
  • $42,000,000 Logging Accident Settlement

    Settlement reached after a log chipper exploded deep in the woods in Greensville County, hurting three and killing one. Each of the four suffered horrific burn injuries. Ours was one of four law firms that banded together to obtain this remarkable composite result.

  • $6,500,000 Taser Settlement

    This was another horrific burn injury case. Our client, a man soaked in gasoline, ignited when a police officer shot him with a Taser. Four law firms, included ours, pooled expertise to obtain this settlement for the man who had been so badly burned.

  • $5,000,000 Medical Malpractice Verdict

    This Medical Malpractice lawsuit involved a Chesterfield County man who was left incapacitated by a stroke. The stroke was the result of medication prescribed by his doctor to address symptoms of a cold. The medication was called Phenergan VC with codeine. This is believed to be the largest medical malpractice verdict ever returned by a Chesterfield County jury.

  • $2,900,000 Settlement Following Head-on High-Speed Collision

    We brought this lawsuit on behalf of a high school teacher who was badly hurt when an overly zealous off-duty policeman, responding as a volunteer to an emergency call, crossed over the yellow line and hit the teacher’s car head-on.

  • $2,000,000 Wrongful Death Verdict

    This jury verdict of over $2 million dollars is believed to be the largest wrongful death, medical malpractice verdict ever returned by a Petersburg jury. A teacher who taught elementary school in Prince George County died at Southside Regional Medical Center because an emergency physician failed to diagnose a flesh-eating bacterial infection.

  • $1,880,385 Wrongful Death Verdict

    Jury verdict for the mother of an 18-year-old girl ejected from a speeding car that struck the brick wall of Blandford Cemetery while northbound at a curve on South Crater Road in Petersburg.

Car Accident Attorney in Southeast Virginia

Even when it seems apparent that a car accident was the other driver’s fault, getting a fair financial settlement is no guarantee. Proving negligence can require meticulous, step-by-step investigation into an accident and its aftermath. Insurance companies can seek to undermine an injured plaintiff’s rightful claims to financial recovery. And in the event that a tragedy occurred, and the driver died, the issue of filing a wrongful death lawsuit opens up a whole new set of legal issues.
