Accidents and Injuries
We represent people who have been injured in accidents throughout Virginia. Sometimes you can settle a case on your own and save the attorney fee. We can help with that, too.
If you have been recently injured call us or click on the link below and ask for one (or both) of our books:
- Five Deadly Sins, How to Avoid the Mistakes That Can Sink Your Car Accident Claim
- Get It Settled! How To Settle Your Car Accident Case Without An Attorney.
Insurance Appeals
No one files an insurance claim because they are having a great day. You filed (or are planning to file) because something has gone wrong, and having your claim denied just kicks you while you’re down. We can help.
Benefit claims are denied all the time, most often for one of these two reasons:
- You do not meet the conditions defined in the policy. Insurance companies will argue that this is the ONLY reason claims are denied, but our vast experience tells us that’s not true. Very often…
- Your claim has been denied for a false or made-up reason, which is explained in official-sounding insurance language designed to make you give up and go away. This is a frivolous claim denial.
While there’s not much we can do in the first instance (except explain your policy in terms you can understand), in the second instance we can fight to overturn a frivolous, unprincipled, erroneous denial. Insurance companies don’t make it easy, though.
Workers' Compensation
Workers compensation is a no-fault sytem in Virginia. It helps relieve the hardship for an injured worker but it does not provide "full compensation." Injured workers have questions and often make mistakes in dealing with their claims. This site, and Michele's free book, The Ultimate Guide to Worker's Compensation in Virginia, answer your questions.
Social Security Benefits
Whether you just starting the application process or dealing with a denial, we can help. The key is to make contact with us as soon as possible, especially if you have already been denied. Appeals periods are usually 60 days and we want to keep your case moving through the appeals process. Don’t let past rejections from Social Security or the VA discourage you. Let’s take a fresh look, map out a plan and win your benefits.
Criminal Defense
BenGlassLaw's goal is to push for a true systemic change in our criminal justice system one case at a time.
