People get robbed every single day. Whether your car is broken into or you’ve been the victim of a home invasion, there’s nothing that compares to the vulnerable feeling when someone has taken something that belongs to you. A wrongful death can rip a family and a community apart. It’s the ultimate theft that leaves you and your family feeling empty and in search of answers.
Unfortunately, the wrongful death attorneys at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers can’t bring your family member back, nor can we with any conviction tell you that it’s all going to be okay, because it’s not. You’ve suffered a traumatic loss, and things are never going to be the same.
However, families don’t call us to make everything okay. They call us because they know we will fight on their behalf to get them justice. The financial impact of your loved one’s death could be substantial. Beyond funeral and other expenses, you’re going to need compensation for the financial potential your loved one can no longer provide. That could be a significant amount when considering how many years were taken from them, and we’re ready to help you secure every dollar for your family’s future.
If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, the wrongful death attorneys at Lowell Stanley want to help. Give us a call today for a free, no obligation consultation. We’ll fight to get you the justice your loved one deserves. Contact us today.

The open road is always calling to a motorcycle enthusiast. It could be the dead of winter, and the only thing on the mind of a dedicated rider is turning that engine over and hitting the road. Virginia has some of the best riding in the country, which is why so many folks in Norfolk own motorcycles. Unfortunately, many drivers in our community don’t know how to properly share the road with riders, leading to significant injuries and even death.
If you’re reading this blog after a serious motorcycle accident, there are a few things you should consider right now. First of all, are your rights as an accident victim protected? If you don’t have an experienced motorcycle accident attorney on your side, they may not be. Second, are you in a position to get the most money for your injury claim? The at-fault driver’s insurance company may try to pay you as little as possible for your injuries. An experienced Norfolk motorcycle wreck attorney will fight the insurance company for every dollar you deserve.
Lastly, are you prepared to pay for someone else’s mistake? If you try to deal with the insurance company on your own, you may do just that. Every dollar you don’t secure from the insurance company is another dollar you give to the person who hit you. You’re essentially saying, “You caused the accident, but I’m going to pay for it.”
Don’t do it.
Call an experienced Norfolk motorcycle accident attorney today for a free consultation. We’re ready to fight for you, so contact us today.

We have some hardworking folks in Norfolk. It’s ingrained in our culture to work hard and earn every penny on our paycheck. Our families depend on those paychecks, and if we miss just one, it can quickly leave us in a financial nightmare. That’s why an on-the-job injury can turn any family upside down. If you’re injured, you can’t work. If you can’t work, you won’t get paid. If you don’t get paid, you may struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head.
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we believe no Norfolk family should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from, but if you’ve been injured on the job, that could soon become your reality. You might think that workers’ compensation would pay your medical expenses and help provide for your family while you recover, but that’s not always the case. In reality, injured workers take far less than they deserve every day from workers’ comp insurance companies, leaving their families financially compromised.
Thankfully, there’s a better way. If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident, call our experienced Norfolk workers’ comp lawyers today for a free consultation. We’ll review your case at no obligation to you and fight to get you the maximum benefits possible. Your family’s future may depend on what you do next. Contact us today.

For those lucky enough to survive a serious car accident, a sense of “what might have happened?” always lingers. Would I have survived if they had been going 5 mph faster? What if I hadn’t braked when I did? Could I have lost so much more? These are frightening thoughts, especially considering the injuries you did sustain. Make no mistake, you’ve survived a life-threatening accident, and the person who caused it could have taken your life or the lives of those in your vehicle.
That’s an important point to remember when considering whether or not you should file a personal injury lawsuit for your injuries. By doing so, you’re taking a stand for yourself, your family, and other drivers on the road who could be injured or killed next time by the same driver. It needs to be stated loud and clear that driving while distracted, driving aggressively, or under the influence is not welcome in Norfolk. You do that by calling an experienced lawyer to defend your rights, and that’s exactly what we do at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers.
If you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, call an experienced Norfolk car accident attorney today. We’ll hold the responsible party accountable for their carelessness and fight to get you maximum compensation for your injuries. You can’t afford to go this alone. Contact us today.

Taking care of aging loved ones isn’t easy, especially if you’ve never been a caretaker. It can require around-the-clock care–something you and your family simply can’t provide. That level of care is only available from professionals. That’s why you and your family made the decision to find the best nursing home facility your aging loved one could afford, and it was the right decision. Unfortunately, not every facility lives up to the promises it makes.
Nursing home abuse and neglect come in many forms. As a family member, it’s important that you are aware of the signs that nursing home abuse or neglect exist, so that you can protect your loved one from harm. Common signs include:
- Pale complexion
- Untreated bedsores, bruises, or cuts
- Excessive weight loss
- Fleas or lice in the resident’s room
- Poor personal hygiene
- Changes to medications
- Unpleasant odors
- Torn clothing or missing personal items
If your aging loved one shows any of these signs, they may be the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect. Call an experienced Norfolk nursing home abuse lawyer today to learn about your loved one’s rights. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we’ll fully investigate the extent of the abuse and hold the responsible facility accountable. Act immediately to ensure your loved one’s safety. Contact us today.

Most medical professionals in Virginia work extremely hard. It’s not uncommon for nurses and doctors to have double shifts, late nights, and dozens of patients under their supervision at any time. The opportunity to make a mistake is always present, which is why many medical professionals and organizations have medical malpractice insurance. They know that there’s a chance a decision or action they take could cause harm to the patient, so they prepare themselves for that eventuality.
As a patient who has suffered due to medical negligence and/or malpractice, you know just how hard it can be to decide whether or not to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. You want justice for what you’ve been through, but you’re apprehensive about suing. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we understand that concern, which is why we offer every medical malpractice victim in Norfolk a free consultation.

If you’ve been injured, you’re probably wondering whether or not you have a personal injury case. You’re not alone. The majority of the calls we receive from accident victims are about finding an answer to that very question. Although a free consultation from Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers is a simple way to find out if you have a case, you can ask yourself 3 questions before you make the call to determine if a lawyer might be able to help:
Was the accident caused by someone else’s negligence? Whether you were involved in a car crash or a slip and fall incident, the person or organization at fault should be responsible for your injuries. If someone other than yourself caused your accident, you may have a personal injury claim.
Were you injured? Seems fundamental, but it’s an important component to any personal injury case. To have a personal injury claim, you need to have sustained injuries due to your accident. If you did, you may have a personal injury claim.
Do you expect to incur expenses due to your injuries? To simplify a complex process, personal injury claims are essentially about recovering compensation for expenses or hardships you incur due to your injuries. From medical expenses to lost wages, you may be entitled to significant compensation for your injuries.
If you answered “yes” to all of the above questions, chances are you have a personal injury claim and should consult with a personal injury attorney right now. Call today for your free consultation. Our law firm wants to review your case for free and fight to get you every dollar you deserve.

How do insurance companies make billions of dollars in profit every year? It’s simple math. They take in more insurance premiums than they pay out in claims. How do they do that? By running millions of dollars in ads that get you to sign up while denying or minimizing claims that come in. As long as they keep that scale tipping in their favor, the profits continue to roll in.
The thing you need to understand about the insurance industry is that although their marketing efforts center on how they’ll protect you in the event of an accident, your insurance company is a business first. Altruism is far from their first motivation. In fact, from the moment your accident occurs, you become a liability to them. In business speak, you get moved to accounts payable, meaning they owe you money. It’s in their best interests to minimize your claim, and they’ve become really good at it.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. Call a Norfolk car accident attorney at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers for a free consultation. We’ve been dealing with insurance companies for more than 30 years. We know what your case is worth, and we’ll fight to get you every dollar you deserve. Contact us today for your free, no obligation consultation.
