Wrongful Death 20%

One of the most tragic events in life is the death of a loved one, particularly when it could have been avoided or was caused by someone else’s conduct or carelessness. Often the decedent leaves behind family and friends who relied upon him or her to provide for them in addition to the emotional devastation and other monetary losses suffered from the death of their loved one.

Admiralty and Maritime 10%

Maritime law refers to those types of injury cases which occur on water. Just as there are many catastrophic injuries which occur on land from car accidents or defective products, the same type of injuries are caused by boat accidents, jet ski accidents, or cruise ship injuries. In addition, many people work on tugboats, barges, or other vessels and may be injured while performing their jobs. These on-the-job injuries are also considered maritime claims and may be governed by the Jones Act.

Social Security & Disability 10%

The Social Security Act defines disability as a "person's inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." If you are disabled and will be unable to work for a year it is imperitive you contact a social security disability attorney to receive the benefits you deserve.

Workers Compensation 10%

If an injury or accident occurs while you are on the job, you are entitled to receive two-thirds of your previous average weekly wages for the time when you are unable to work. The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Program will provide this money, and you don’t have to prove fault or negligence to get it. If your claim is denied, or if you need additional funds to cover medical bills, or any other type of expenses, you may need to go to court. That is where the experience of Rutter Mills can help.
