Our Strategy for Traumatic Brain Injury Cases
We build each claim on a careful investigation of how the injury happened and what it has cost you. Our team works with accident reconstruction attorneys, vocational consultants, and neurological attorney to piece together a complete picture of your losses—from immediate emergency care to long-term life care needs that a brain injury often demands. Virginia’s contributory negligence rule (Va. Code § 8.01-38) means that if you are found even partially at fault, you recover nothing. We prepare every file as if it will go to trial, anticipating the arguments the other side will use to shift blame. That preparation often leads to more productive settlement negotiations because the insurance carrier knows we are ready to present your case in court.
What to Expect When You Work with Us
Your first call brings you directly to someone who will listen to your story and ask about the accident, your medical treatment, and your current struggles. We then gather records, interview witnesses, and file the appropriate claims at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court (2425 Nimmo Parkway, Bldg 10B, Virginia Beach, VA 23456) or the Virginia Beach General District Court, depending on the value of your claim. Throughout the process, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel handle every communication with the insurance company, so you are not pressured into accepting a low settlement. We work on a contingency fee arrangement—no fee unless a recovery is obtained. Because claims must be filed within two years of the injury under Va. Code § 8.01-243(A), we move quickly to protect your rights.
Virginia’s pure contributory negligence law is one of the strictest in the country. Even a small degree of fault by the injured party can bar all compensation. That means preserving evidence, securing expert evaluations, and documenting every facet of your condition early is critical. Our firm focuses on building a record that makes clear the other party’s responsibility—and your complete lack of fault—so that your claim stands on solid ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a traumatic brain injury lawyer in Virginia Beach?
Virginia’s contributory negligence rule makes experienced representation critical. The insurance company only needs to prove you were 1% at fault to pay nothing. An attorney who understands traumatic brain injury claims can help preserve evidence, arrange expert evaluations, and build a case that establishes the other party’s fault. We work on a contingency fee basis—no fee unless a recovery is obtained. For a consultation, reach Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel at (888) 437-7747.
What is the statute of limitations for a brain injury claim in Virginia?
Personal injury claims in Virginia must be filed within two years of the date of injury under Va. Code § 8.01-243(A). Missing that deadline permanently bars recovery. Wrongful death claims also must be brought within two years. Because traumatic brain injury symptoms sometimes appear gradually, it is important to consult a lawyer promptly after any accident involving a head impact, even if early symptoms seem mild.
How is a traumatic brain injury case different from other injury claims?
Brain injury cases often involve extensive medical evidence, life care planning, and long-term damages that may not be immediately apparent. Neurologists, neuropsychologists, and vocational attorneys frequently provide testimony about the injury’s impact on cognition, employment, and daily living. A lawyer experienced in these claims understands how to document both economic losses and the pain and suffering that a brain injury causes.
What damages can I recover?
You may recover compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Virginia does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases. If the at‑fault party’s conduct was willful or wanton, punitive damages may also be available under Va. Code § 8.01-38.1. Every case depends on its specific facts; reach our location for a consultation.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
In Virginia, if you are found even 1% at fault, you cannot recover any compensation. This pure contributory negligence rule makes it essential to work with an attorney who can investigate thoroughly and present evidence that places full responsibility on the other party. Do not discuss fault with the insurance company until you have spoken with a lawyer. Contact Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747 to discuss the details of your matter.
Where are traumatic brain injury cases filed in Virginia Beach?
Claims are generally filed at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court (2425 Nimmo Parkway, Bldg 10B, Virginia Beach, VA 23456) for amounts exceeding the General District Court’s jurisdictional limit, and at the Virginia Beach General District Court for smaller claims.
