The Smith Law Center recently secured a $400,000 settlement for a client who was injured after being rear-ended by a school bus in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The crash resulted in serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI). While the terms of the settlement are confidential, we are proud to have helped our client obtain a meaningful recovery.

A traumatic brain injury can change a life in an instant. If you or someone you love has suffered a brain injury because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve answers and experienced legal representation.

It's not calling the insurance company.
It's not taking pictures.
It's not hiring a lawyer.

It's waiting too long to see a doctor.

Many injuries, especially concussions, neck injuries, and soft tissue injuries don't always cause immediate pain. Hours or even days later, symptoms can appear.

If you've been in an accident: Listen to your body, get evaluated if something doesn't feel right and don't assume the pain will simply go away.

Your health should always come first. Our expertise is measured in wins and we’ve helped our clients recover over a BILLION DOLLARS for their injuries. Call us today and put our minds to work for you. 877.HIT.BACK

The Fourth of July is one of the busiest boating weekends of the year and one of the most dangerous. Alcohol, heavy boat traffic, and nighttime navigation can create serious risks. If you're enjoying the water this holiday, designate a sober captain and make sure everyone gets home safely. Happy Fourth of July from Smith Law Center.

Lawyers, join our Samantha Cohn on October 19, 2026 as she teaches “Civil Juries in Virginia: From Venue to Verdict”.

In Virginia civil litigation, understanding where a case is filed, how a jury is selected, and the procedural rules governing trial practice can be just as important as the case's underlying merits. Virginia’s unique statutory framework governing jurisdiction, venue, jury trials, and voir dire presents strategic considerations that every litigator must understand before stepping into the courtroom. Virginia civil litigation attorneys should attend this program to gain a practical understanding of the procedural and strategic considerations involved in preparing and presenting a civil jury trial in Virginia state courts.

Attendees will learn the distinctions among court jurisdictions, the statutory framework governing venue and venue transfer, and the practical considerations attorneys should evaluate when determining where to file and try a case. The program will also provide an overview of Virginia jury practice, including jury composition, juror qualifications, jury panel selection procedures, voir dire strategy, juror research, peremptory strikes, strikes for cause, Batson challenges, and the use of jury instructions and verdict forms in civil litigation.

This program is designed for attorneys practicing in Virginia or intending to appear in Virginia courts who currently handle or anticipate handling civil jury trials. Both newer litigators seeking foundational knowledge and experienced trial attorneys looking to refine their understanding of Virginia-specific jury trial procedure and strategy will benefit from this course. Any attorneys with experience in civil litigation who are interested in Virginia civil jury procedures are also encouraged to attend.
