I AM HERE BECAUSE ...

I'm Just Here For Information I'm Not Sure Whether I Need A Lawyer The Adjuster Just Called - I Need Help Now

Have These Questions Crossed Your Mind Recently?

• Who pays my medical bills after a car crash?

• Are my insurance rates going to go up after an accident that wasn't my fault?
• How do I get the insurance company to pay me for the days I was unable to work?
• What is a fair value for the pain and suffering I went through?
• Am I going to need a lawyer for this?

Being injured in an auto accident can turn your whole world upside down.  You've got to buy a new car.  Your medical bills and co-pays are piling up.  The insurance company keeps calling you and demanding a recorded statement.  You find yourself running out of sick days and you're starting to worry about whether you might lose your job.  Maybe you're starting to feel like the insurance company is giving you the run-around and you're not sure that they're going to treat you fairly at the end of your case.

At the Law Offices of David L. Marks, we know how many things are going through your mind.  And we're here with the answers to these questions and many more that you might have (and some you haven't thought of yet). 

We're also here to take some of the pressure off.  Is the adjuster calling you twice a day pressuring you to settle?  Are you getting letters from hospital bill collectors wondering when they're going to get paid?  We can help get in between you and the adjuster or you and the collector and let you get back to your life.

We don't take every case.  But if we accept yours, our experienced staff will set up your claim and collect your medical bills and records from your doctors, our attorneys will interview witnesses, speak with your doctors, investigate insurance coverage and attempt to negotiate a fair settlement value. 

Sometimes, the insurance company isn't interested in offering a fair settlement.  Insurance companies are often more concerned with protecting their own bottom lines than with being fair.   As trial lawyers who exclusively represent personal injury victims, we are ready and able to file suit and take your case all the way through trial.

We accept the following kinds of cases:

Auto Accidents

It is almost impossible to drive around Fairfax County and not see the aftermath of car crash these days.  Too many of our drivers are texting, on the phone, or running late for a meeting.  These drivers are putting your health at risk.  To top it off, their insurance companies often want to blame you for choosing the "wrong doctor," waiting too long to get treatment, or treating for too long.

Wrongful Death

It can be an incredibly trying time when you lose a loved one - be it a parent, child, sibling or spouse.  You might be wondering where to turn for help when the insurance company comes calling.  Or the insurance company might be avoiding your phone calls.  We can help you sort out who is responsible and help to hold them accountable for your loss.

Children's Injuries

An injury to your son or daughter can be particularly distressing.  There are many special considerations that need to be applied to the evaluation of children's injuries, including permanency, scarring, and emotional distress.  David Marks and Brian Glass are both routinely appointed by Courts in Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria and Prince William to serve as Guardians ad litem for the purposes of evaluating personal injury settlements for children.

Dog Bite Injuries

Virginia dog bite law is very strict and the deck is often stacked in favor of the dog owner.  For instance, if you live in an area that does not have a law requiring that the dog be kept on a leash, you will typically have to show that the dog's owner knew he had bitten someone before in order to recover any money. 

Medical Malpractice

In today's political climate, terms like "defensive medicine" and "tort reform" have become commonplace.  We know that for every frivilous case that the insurance companies hold up as evidence of the need for reform, there are scores of cases where a patient was injured by the negligence of a doctor or nurse.

Motorcycle Crashes

Bikers who are hit by cars or trucks are at a distinct disadvantage when dealing with insurance companies.  More often than not, the insurance company will argue that the motorcyclist was the one in the wrong.  Insurance adjusters know that jurors in northern Virginia will assume, from being passed on the highway by a speeding biker, that you were speeding and swerving in and out of traffic to.
