Injured In An Car Accident? We Offer Aggressive, Experienced Advocacy
If you were injured in a car accident, it is critical to retain qualified legal counsel before you talk to anyone or sign anything. Why? An experienced Manassas auto accident lawyer can:
- Act quickly to investigate the cause — witnesses and important evidence disappear quickly.
- Advise you on what to do and say — statements to police or an insurance adjuster, even comments to a passenger or the other driver, can hurt your case for compensation.

It is almost impossible to go anywhere in Manassas or surrounding communities and not see advertisements for personal injury attorneys. There are countless options for firms willing to handle your case if you have been injured in an accident. It might be confusing to know what to consider when hiring a personal injury attorney to take on your case. Here is some information that you might wish to think about when reaching out to law firms.
Do They Have Experience In Motor Vehicle Accident Cases?
This may seem obvious, but even if the attorneys say they are experienced, make sure you ask questions about the previous types of cases they have handled. You’ll want to know what sort of things they have experience in, whether those are serious accident claims or others involving less significant injuries. This is important because knowing how to fully evaluate a claim requires the attorney to have an understanding of what sort of costs and damages are connected to more serious accidents.
Are They Local?
This is something that people often overlook when hiring an attorney. There are advantages to hiring a firm in your backyard to handle your case. These firms often know the local courts and have an understanding of the behavior of juries in the area if these cases end up going to trial. Additionally, having your attorney close by can be extremely convenient when there are issues you need to discuss in person.
Sometimes those who hire larger firms – those who advertise in the area but lack a local presence – do not get the personal connection that they need in these cases. We live and work in the community. The people we help are our friends and neighbors. We are here for you from beginning to end, and we want you to get the results you need to get back on track. It is as important to us as it is to you, and we never forget who we work for.
Who Will You Be Working With?
People are sometimes surprised to find out that they may not be working with the attorney that they meet during an initial consultation. A friendly or familiar face may meet with them initially, but then the claim goes to an associate attorney at the firm. When they call to speak about their case, they are often talking to someone they have never met before.
That will not happen at our law firm. Your case will be handled by one of our partners, each of whom has at least a decade of experience in personal injury law. Our dedicated staff stays up-to-date with developments on cases, so that when you call, you get answers.
Are They Able To Take Your Case To Trial?
Trial experience can really make or break your case. If you have an attorney who is ready to take your case inside the courtroom, the insurance company knows it cannot “run out the clock.” They have to understand that if a fair offer is not made, you have someone on your side who is ready to prove, in court, why you should receive the compensation you are requesting.
At The Law Offices of Locklin & Coleman, PLLC, we have handled many complex personal injury cases at trial. We know what it takes to build a strong case for our clients. We’ve appeared in many courtrooms throughout Virginia, and we are not afraid to litigate if it is in your best interests. We will carefully explain your options and if you think this is the right move for you to make in your case, we are ready to protect your interests.

Accountability for Preventable Deaths in Fatal Car Accidents
There is nothing more devastating than losing a loved one in a fatal car accident that could have been prevented. While it can be emotionally traumatic to analyze the accident and things that could have or should have been done to avoid the ultimate result, it is necessary in order to obtain answers and pursue justice. You can trust in our attorneys to find those answers and to hold your hand through the entire process.
When you come to our law firm for legal support after losing a loved one in a fatal car accident, we will do everything in our power to shield your family from enduring additional grief. We take on your legal burdens and handle all aspects of investigating the accident, identifying the cause of the accident, exposing negligent parties and pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Experienced and Caring Wrongful Death Lawyers
Whether a loved one dies in a fatal drunk driving accident, fatal commercial trucking accident, fatal motorcycle crash or other fatal motor vehicle accident, your family deserves to know what happened and deserves to receive the full compensation that may be available as a result of someone else’s negligence, including compensation for:
- Medical expenses prior to their death
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of income to the family
- Mental anguish or loss of companionship
Full Commitment, Aggressive Representation
Prompt investigation by qualified personnel is one key to our success. Our investigators include retired police chiefs, state troopers and a U.S. marshal, all of whom have decades of experience in examining and reconstructing car accident scenes. We work to get statements from witnesses (and, if possible, the other driver). In severe accidents or crashes resulting in catastrophic injury or wrongful death, we may also call in toxicologists and accident reconstruction experts.
Our attorneys will advise on whether a settlement is in your best interests and will prepare to take your case to a jury when insurance companies will not make a fair offer.
