Diligently Pursuing Your Personal Injury Claim

If you have been seriously injured in an accident, you are likely worried about how you are going to pay your medical bills and make up for lost wages. A personal injury claim may help you get compensation for your financial losses as well as your pain and suffering.

I'm attorney Eric S. Wiener. Based in Arlington, I help clients throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., pursue personal injury claims, including appeals. To discuss your case with an experienced and attentive Arlington personal injury lawyer, contact me today.

To succeed in personal injury law, you must prove that your injuries occurred because someone else committed a negligent act or failed to fulfill a legal duty. Personal injury law and trial preparation can be complex. I am experienced handling the following types of cases:

• Car accidents: If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, I will stand up to the insurance companies to pursue the full compensation you deserve
• Slip-and-fall accidents: If you have slipped and fallen on someone else's property, and suffered a back injury or other serious injury, you may be entitled to compensation under Virginia premises liability law
• Dangerous and defective products: Manufacturers, retailers and distributors of defective products can be held liable for injuries under Virginia products liability law
• Wrongful death cases: If you have lost a loved one in an accident, a wrongful death claim may be your best opportunity to hold the responsible party accountable

My initial consultation is always free, and I handle personal injury and workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that I am not paid unless your claim is successful.

Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers

If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits, no matter who was directly at fault for your injuries. If you are having trouble getting the benefits you deserve — ranging from on-time benefits checks to outright denials — an experienced workers' comp lawyer may be able to help.

I'm Eric S. Wiener, an Arlington-based attorney representing injured workers throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. If you have been seriously hurt in an accident at work, do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.

Pursuing the Compensation to Which You Are Entitled

Whether you are entitled to workers' compensation depends on when and where your accident happened, not who caused it. If you have been injured in the course of employment, you are legally entitled to compensation from your employer for the following:

• Two-thirds of your lost wages
• Medical treatment for your injuries
• Any temporary or permanent disability you have suffered
• You are entitled to adequate compensation. I will conduct an in-depth investigation of the details of your case, and continue representing you until you reach maximum medical improvement — in other words, the fullest possible recovery from your injuries.

Taking the Right Approach for Your Case

Many workers' compensation claims can be resolved through compromise agreements. However, if it is necessary to take your case to the workers' compensation board in order to achieve a fair outcome, I am fully prepared to advocate for you in that setting.

If you hire me to represent you, my fees will be limited by law to a percentage of your recovery. This gives me every incentive to work hard to get you maximum benefits. To learn more about what you can expect in the workers' comp process, contact me today.

My initial consultation is always free, and I handle personal injury and workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that I am not paid unless your claim is successful.
