From the moment you contact us, you will know who your lawyer is, how to reach them, and what to expect. We are available when you need us, whether that means meeting in person, speaking by phone, or connecting by video. Your case moves at your pace, with your needs guiding every decision.

A Client-First Approach Built on Access and Trust

Many injury victims feel frustrated by law firms that promise personal attention but deliver layers of staff, delayed responses, and uncertainty about who is actually handling the case. Montagna Law was built to be different. We prioritize accessibility, communication, and care because we know those qualities matter when someone is facing pain, stress, and financial pressure.

When you hire our firm, you work directly with your attorney. You can call anytime with questions or concerns. We’ll keep you informed about developments in your case and explain legal strategies in plain language so you can make confident decisions about your future. Whether your case resolves through negotiation or requires aggressive litigation, you are never left wondering what is happening behind the scenes.

This personal approach does not come at the expense of results. We combine attentive client service with thorough preparation, detailed investigation, and a willingness to stand up to insurance companies and corporate defendants that refuse to take responsibility.

Car Accident Representation in Norfolk

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of serious injury in Norfolk and across Virginia. Congested highways, commuter traffic, distracted driving, and aggressive behavior all contribute to collisions that leave victims with lasting physical and emotional harm. Even crashes that seem minor at first can result in chronic pain, lost income, and long-term medical needs.

Our Norfolk personal injury lawyers handle all types of car accident cases, including rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, drunk driving accidents, and high-speed highway wrecks. We work to identify all responsible parties, gather critical evidence, and accurately calculate the full scope of your damages. That includes not only medical bills and lost wages, but also pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the impact the injury has had on your daily life.

Insurance companies often move quickly to minimize payouts, usually before the full extent of an injury is known. We step in early to protect your rights, handle communications, and ensure that any settlement reflects what you truly need to recover and move forward.

Truck Accident Claims Involving Serious Injuries

Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. In a port city like Norfolk, collisions involving tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, and commercial fleets are especially common. These cases are far more complex than standard car accident claims and require immediate, skilled legal intervention.

Montagna Law represents victims injured in truck accidents involving driver negligence, fatigue, improper loading, mechanical failures, and violations of federal trucking regulations. We investigate beyond the driver to determine whether trucking companies, maintenance contractors, or cargo handlers played a role in causing the crash.

Because trucking companies and their insurers deploy aggressive defense strategies from the outset, it is critical to have a lawyer who understands how to preserve evidence, analyze logbooks and data, and build a case designed to withstand intense scrutiny. Our firm is prepared to do that work while keeping you informed and supported throughout the process.

Maritime and Waterfront Injury Representation

Norfolk’s identity is deeply tied to the water, with shipyards, naval facilities, ports, and maritime commerce playing a central role in the local economy. Unfortunately, maritime work also carries a high risk of serious injury. Accidents aboard vessels, docks, and waterfront facilities can leave workers facing devastating consequences.

Our firm handles maritime injury claims under federal laws such as the Jones Act, as well as other claims involving longshoremen, harbor workers, and maritime contractors. These cases involve unique legal standards and require an attorney who understands how maritime law interacts with state personal injury principles.

If you were injured while working on or around navigable waters, it is essential to act quickly to protect your rights. We take the time to understand the specifics of your job, the conditions that led to the injury, and the compensation avenues available to you. Throughout the case, you maintain direct access to your attorney and receive guidance tailored to your situation.

Compassionate Advocacy With a Results-Oriented Focus

Serious injuries affect every aspect of a person’s life. Physical pain, emotional strain, financial uncertainty, and family stress often collide at once. At Montagna Law, we approach every case with empathy and respect, recognizing that healing involves more than just a legal outcome.

At the same time, we are relentless when it comes to holding negligent parties accountable. Our goal is to secure compensation that truly reflects the harm you have suffered and supports your long-term recovery. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we are prepared to pursue the outcome you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a Norfolk personal injury lawyer?

Montagna Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay upfront legal fees. Our fee is only collected if we successfully recover compensation for you.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Virginia?

Virginia law generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but exceptions may apply depending on the type of case. Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible helps ensure important deadlines are met.

Will I have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases resolve through an out-of-court settlement, but not all do. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial so that we are ready for any outcome. If a trial becomes necessary, we will explain the process and stand with you every step of the way.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Virginia follows a strict contributory negligence rule, which bars recovery if you were partly to blame. Determining fault is complex, and insurance companies often try to shift blame unfairly. An experienced lawyer can evaluate the facts and protect your interests.

How often will I hear from my lawyer?

You will have direct access to your attorney throughout your case. We encourage communication and make ourselves available by phone, video, or in person, based on what works best for you.
