Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer » Attorneys

For more than 115 years, Allen & Allen attorneys have stood beside injured Virginians and their families. Since George E. Allen founded our firm in 1910, integrity, respect, compassion, and trust have shaped how we prepare cases and care for clients.

Four generations of the Allen family have carried that commitment forward. Today, more than 30 attorneys work alongside paralegals and staff to give each client the resources of a large Virginia firm without losing the personal care that has defined Allen & Allen from the beginning.

As Virginia personal injury attorneys, we do more than file claims and speak with insurance companies. We learn what the injury has taken from you, build the evidence, and make your fight our fight. That’s what we mean when we say, “I am an Allen.”

Local Attorneys with a National Reputation

The attorneys and staff at Allen & Allen know there are many emotional and physical struggles associated with a personal injury case. We’re committed to providing the personal service our clients and their families require in their time of need. Our mission as advocates for the injured includes reducing the stresses that come from those emotional and physical concerns in the wake of a personal injury.

Superior personal service involves superior communication. We invite you to learn about our attorneys as both professionals and people. You aren’t just hiring a set of legal skills, you’re hiring a dedicated and knowledgeable legal team who cares about you.

Experience and results in Virginia personal injury claims

Allen & Allen has obtained significant verdicts and settlements for injured clients and their families throughout Virginia. These results reflect the preparation, resources, and trial experience our attorneys bring to serious personal injury cases.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every claim depends on its own facts, evidence, insurance coverage, and applicable law.

$47.5 million catastrophic injury settlement

Allen & Allen attorneys P. Christopher Guedri and Trent S. Kerns represented a young person who suffered catastrophic injuries in an automobile accident. The case resulted in a $47.5 million confidential settlement, which was the largest single-plaintiff settlement in Virginia history at the time.

$24 million wrongful death settlement

The father-and-son attorneys Edward Allen and Parker Allen represented the family of a mother of two who was killed in a commercial vehicle collision. Their work showed that the driver was unfit, and the defense admitted corporate negligence, including negligent hiring and retention, on the eve of trial.

The case was resolved for $24 million at the courthouse shortly before jury selection, resulting in the largest reported wrongful death recovery in Virginia history.

“We showed up ready to pick a jury and try this case to verdict,” said Parker Allen. “We spent weekends with this family, learning who their loved one was and how deeply she impacted everyone around her. The trust we built allowed us to achieve an incredible result for a deserving family.”

$25 million medical malpractice verdict

Allen & Allen attorneys Jason W. Konvicka and Malcolm P. McConnell III represented a patient who suffered a debilitating heart attack after a misdiagnosis. Their work resulted in a $25 million medical malpractice verdict, plus interest, believed to be the largest plaintiff’s verdict in a medical malpractice case in Virginia.

Results of that size require more than a strong closing argument. They come from reviewing thousands of pages of records, working with qualified professionals, preparing witnesses, and understanding how an injury will affect a client for years to come.

Allen & Allen has the resources to fund that work while the case is pending. We prepare serious claims for trial because careful preparation gives the client a stronger position, whether the case ends through a settlement or before a jury.

Our Virginia personal injury attorneys’ credentials

Allen & Allen attorneys have earned recognition from respected legal organizations for their work in personal injury and medical malpractice law. Nine attorneys were selected for inclusion in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Two additional attorneys were named to the 2026 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list, and Derrick L. Walker was named the 2026 Lawyer of the Year for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Richmond.

Sixteen Allen & Allen attorneys were also selected for the 2026 Virginia Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Super Lawyers uses peer nominations and evaluations, independent research, and indicators of professional achievement to select attorneys.

The firm received Tier 1 Richmond rankings in the 2026 Best Law Firms list for:

Medical malpractice law – plaintiffs
Personal injury litigation – plaintiffs
Product liability litigation – plaintiffs

Many of our attorneys have also served in leadership roles within the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and other professional organizations. Some have taught, published legal work, or argued before appellate courts.

These honors give you one way to evaluate the experience behind the firm. What matters during your case is how that experience is used: preparing the evidence, answering your questions, and giving you honest guidance when a decision must be made.

How does Allen & Allen handle your Virginia personal injury claim?

Your relationship with Allen & Allen begins with a free conversation about what happened and what you need. You can ask questions, discuss deadlines, and learn whether the facts may support a claim without paying for the consultation or committing to hire the firm.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fee upfront, and our fee is a percentage of the recovery. We collect that fee only if we obtain compensation for you through a settlement or court award.

Once we accept a case, the work may include:

Identifying the people, companies, or insurers that may be responsible
Preserving video, reports, photographs, and other evidence
Gathering medical records, bills, and proof of lost income
Speaking with witnesses and qualified professionals
Handling calls and correspondence from insurance companies
Preparing a demand supported by the evidence
Filing a lawsuit before the deadline and presenting the case at trial when needed

You remain in control of the important decisions. We explain the available choices in plain language, and you decide whether to accept a settlement offer.

Personal care does not end when a document is signed. Clients can still reach the firm when questions arise because our relationship is built around you, not simply your file.

FAQ for working with Allen & Allen attorneys

Is it too late to call a Virginia personal injury attorney?

Most Virginia personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years, so it may not be too late. But waiting can limit your options. One of our attorneys can review the dates and tell you whether there is still time to act.

Can I bring a claim against a government agency?

A claim may be possible when a government employee, vehicle, or unsafe public property causes an injury, but special rules apply. Virginia generally requires written notice within six months for claims against a county, city, or town and within one year for claims against the Commonwealth or a transportation district.

What happens during the free consultation with Allen & Allen?

During your free consultation, you can explain what happened, ask questions, and learn whether the facts may support a claim. You do not have to hire Allen & Allen afterward.

How will I know what is happening with my case?

You will always receive clear answers about the work being done and the choices in front of you. The Virginia personal injury lawyers at Allen & Allen will explain the process in plain language so you can make informed decisions without having to sort through legal terms on your own.

What if the insurance company has already made an offer?

You can still ask an attorney to review it before signing anything. Once you accept a settlement and release the claim, you generally cannot return for more money if additional losses appear later.
