Best Car Accident Lawyers in Norfolk, VA

A local carpenter, represented by Personal Injury Attorneys Erik Porcaro and Daniel de Lalla, was awarded $160,000 by a Norfolk jury. The verdict was 4.5 times more than the initial settlement offer made by State Farm Insurance. Porcaro also won $950,000 for another client who was denied by insurance, come back soon to read about that amazing story. This carpenter suffered life-changing injuries due to a DUI accident on I-64. Our client was headed home to Norfolk after a day of work in Richmond. While racing in and out of traffic, the intoxicated Defendant struck the carpenter’s minivan, sending him into a concrete barrier and totaling his car. As a result, our client suffered injuries to his neck and back, making it difficult to sleep, work, or enjoy being a father to 3 young children. Over the course of treatment, he accrued over $16,000 in medical bills and lost wages. Our personal injury lawyers worked tirelessly to seek compensation not only for these costs, but his suffering as well. When State Farm refused to offer fair compensation, our client put his trust in our experienced trial attorneys and headed to court. In court, the jury heard from Porcaro and de Lalla as they presented the facts of the case and decided in our client’s favor. Following what the law allows for, they awarded him $160,000 (450% more than the insurance offer) for the traumatic year he’d had. Our team at Rutter Mills made sure this local carpenter got the justice he deserved.
