Contributory Negligence And Lawsuit Limitations
Personal injury lawsuits are limited if the plaintiff acted negligently and contributed to the accident. A plaintiff can be barred from recovering compensation if they were 1% or more at fault for an accident. For example, if a plaintiff is speeding and another car cuts them off and causes an accident and injury, the lawsuit may be limited and no compensation will be able to be recovered if the jury determines the plaintiff’s speeding deems them even 1% at fault.
Fault can be a challenging issue in personal injury lawsuits. At Rodriguez Law Firm, we will work with you to help determine if there was contributory negligence, and your chances of settling for compensation out of court or winning your case in court.

Types of Compensation For Personal Injury Cases
You may be compensated for damages that go beyond physical and financial loss.
- Economic Damages: Financial losses such as medical costs, rehabilitation, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and others.
- Non-Economic Damages: Often the largest portion of your claim, these damages include pain and suffering, loss of quality of life and emotional anguish.
- Punitive Damages: If the actions of the responsible party were extremely reckless and lacking regard for the safety of others, compensatory damages can be pursued as consequence for those actions.

Personal Injury Case FAQ
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RESOLVE MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE?
This is one of the most common, yet difficult questions to answer. Your injury case will move through several phases prior to a final resolution. The first, critical action is to undergo any needed medical treatment for your injuries. You may have to meet with several doctors, undergo surgery or physical therapy.
After your injuries have been fully assessed and your treatment has started, our personal injury attorney in Fairfax moves to the next step, initiating the process of negotiating a settlement with the insurance provider of the negligent party. If a settlement cannot be arranged within a reasonable amount of time, your personal injury attorney should take the next step, and file a lawsuit on your behalf. This part of the process can vary in length, depending on the jurisdiction, the caseload of the judge, and the complexity of the case.
One of our goals at Rodriguez Law Firm is to ensure that we handle your claim in the most time-efficient way possible. We will attempt to move your case through pre-suit negotiations as quickly and effectively as possible. Most cases will move through this phase within a four to six-month timeframe. We will never ignore the best financial interests of our clients to try to resolve a case sooner rather than later. We are dedicated to representing our clients in the most honest and effective way possible, and helping them at every phase of the process.
