A tireless advocate, Jason Konvicka has built a distinguished career protecting personal injury victims for more than 25 years. His natural instincts as a trial lawyer and his determination to achieve justice for the injured have enabled him to achieve numerous record-setting jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients.
Jason has had record recoveries in the areas of tractor trailer crashers, medical malpractice, and bus accidents. Jason’s practice also includes complex injury cases involving tractor-trailer crashes, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, defective products, dangerous premises, drunk driving wrecks, and wrongful death. He also has experience with class actions and mass torts.
In 2014, Jason obtained a $22 million settlement on behalf of a boy who suffered paralysis and brain injuries in a crash with a dump truck. This recovery is the largest personal injury settlement in Virginia history involving a vehicular accident according to Virginia Lawyers Weekly. In 2016, Jason and partner Chris Guedri obtained a $42 million settlement for three men who were seriously burned and the family of one man who was killed as a result of a workplace explosion. This recovery was the largest personal injury settlement in Virginia that year. In 2009, Jason obtained an $8 million jury verdict for a client who was severely injured in a bus accident — the largest personal injury verdict in the state of Virginia that year.
An accomplished writer and former law review editor, Jason has successfully argued before the Virginia Supreme Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

In 2018, Jason was named Best Lawyers’ 2018 Richmond Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs “Lawyer of the Year.” This honor is particularly significant as only one attorney from each practice area and metropolitan area can be named “Lawyer of the Year.”
