Although it’s exciting to see ultrasounds, hear a heartbeat, and learn the gender of your son or daughter, every expectant parent is essentially only concerned with one thing: having a healthy child. We look to our doctors to do everything within their power to make sure our pregnancies and infant’s birth is handled with the thoughtfulness and care they would handle their own. When complications due to negligence cause severe birth injuries, the family is left wondering how this could happen and who is to blame.
Birth injuries can be the result of many factors, including rough handling of the infant during childbirth, misdiagnoses of a condition during pregnancy, or the prescription of a harmful drug. Those mistakes can lead to severe conditions for the child, such as cerebral palsy, erb’s palsy, or uterine rupture. And to make matters worse, in most cases, they could have been avoided. Why should your child have to endure a lifetime of suffering for a mistake someone else made in an instant?
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we defend the rights of families with children who suffered birth injuries due to someone else’s negligence and fight to get them the compensation they deserve. If your child suffered a birth injury, give us a call immediately for a free consultation. You and your child deserve justice, and we’ll do everything we can to help you get it.

Let’s be honest. Bikers are tough. They get out on our back roads and highways with nothing protecting them but the clothes on their backs. If they go down, chances are good they’ll be severely injured, if not killed, and yet they get out anyway. That’s tough. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we respect that level of confidence and courage, but no matter how safely a biker rides, they can’t control what others around them are doing. Just one lapse of concentration by a negligent driver can lead to disaster.
Motorcycle accidents can be tricky cases to handle. It’s often difficult to prove fault in a motorcycle accident, especially on the highway. In fact, it’s entirely possible that a motorcyclist can suffer injuries due to another driver’s carelessness, only to be blamed for the accident after the fact. We’ve seen it happen, and unfortunately, it’ll happen again. That’s why it’s vitally important that you get an experienced motorcycle accident attorney on your side following a crash. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we’re here to fully investigate your accident to help prove who was at fault and who should pay.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash, give us a call immediately for a free consultation. Our experienced Roanoke motorcycle accident attorneys know the law in Virginia, and we’re ready to help you too. Contact us today.

At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we fight for the rights of the hardworking people of Norfolk, because without our help, they may never get what they’re entitled to. Take the folks in our communities who have been injured on the job. Best case scenario, their employer and the insurance company do the right thing, providing for medical expenses, lost wages, and more. That should be the standard response for every employer, but unfortunately, it’s not. And when injured workers are denied the benefits they deserve, they turn to us.
Our experienced Norfolk workers’ compensation attorneys want to help you secure the workers’ comp benefits you deserve. We’ll stand up to your employer and their insurance company to let them know your claim is one they won’t settle cheap. You give 40+ hours a week to your employer. The least they can do is take care of you and your family when that work leads to a serious and debilitating injury, and we’ll make sure they do.
If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident, contact a Norfolk workers’ compensation attorney at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers for a free consultation. Your workers’ comp benefits are too important for you to go it alone, so call us today.

Norfolk in recent years has had more than its fair share of alcohol-related deaths on our roads. Drinking and driving is never justified, even if you make it safely to your destination, as it can lead you to believe that buzzed driving is harmless. It’s not, and if you continue to do so, it’s only a matter of time before you hurt yourself or someone else. However, alcohol isn’t the only type of inebriation that can kill on the roads.
According to a recent Auto Insurance Center, there were more than 900 fatalities in 2014 that involved marijuana-use. In fact, vehicular deaths involving marijuana were 3 times more common than any other illegal substance. These statistics are a reminder that any type of inebriation and driving can be a deadly mix, and we won’t stand for it here in Norfolk.
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we hold impaired drivers accountable for the injuries they cause. If you’ve been injured, call our Norfolk car accident attorneys today for a free consultation. We’ll fully investigate the negligent driver that caused your accident and fight to get you maximum compensation for your injuries. Don’t wait to get the help you need. Give us a call today.

We all want what’s best for our families. We work hard to keep food on the table, a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs. As our children move out to begin a life on their own, we shift our focus to preparing for our later years. That’s why many of us buy life insurance—to provide for our loved ones once we’ve passed on. We pay premiums year-after-year to ensure the funds we’ve been promised are available for them after our death. Unfortunately, some life insurance companies aren’t playing by the rules, putting the life insurance policies of some Norfolk residents at risk.
If you’ve received a letter or other correspondence stating that your premiums are skyrocketing and you must either pay up or forfeit your policy, you’re not alone. It’s called life insurance fraud, and it’s happening more and more often these days. Individuals who receive these notices have 3 options:
- Cancel the policy.
- Pay the inflated premiums for the same policy.
- Wipe out the savings they’ve accumulated.
For someone trying to provide for their family long-term, none of these options are appealing. Fortunately, there’s a fourth option: call a lawyer. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we know how to fight greedy life insurance companies who try to take advantage of policyholders. If you’ve been the victim of life insurance fraud, give us a call immediately for a free consultation.

Recent advancements in medical and surgical technology have enabled physicians and surgeons to extend longevity, eliminate risk factors, and save lives that previously would have been lost. Despite the increased survival rates, no one wants to have surgery. It’s scary, no matter how minor the procedure may be or how many times it has been performed successfully. When we must go under the knife, we trust the surgeon and his/her medical team to give us their best. When that doesn’t happen, the consequences can be devastating.
Medical malpractice continues to negatively impact Norfolk patients, and a quarter of those medical malpractice cases begin in the surgery room. Safe surgical procedures require complete concentration on the part of the surgeon from the moment you are put under until you wake up in recovery. Any lapse in judgment or concentration can lead to serious injury and even death. If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, you deserve to be compensated for their negligence, but proving medical malpractice can be difficult on your own. You need an experienced medical malpractice attorney to investigate your case and hold the hospital accountable.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical malpractice, give us a call immediately for a free consultation. Our team of investigators will uncover the true cause of your injuries and fight to get you maximum compensation.

At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we don’t fault any business for trying to make a profit. What we can’t stand is when a business puts profits ahead of people. As personal injury lawyers, we deal with insurance companies that try to pay accident victims less than they deserve for their injuries, all in the name of profits. Last year alone, those profits were in the billions of dollars. Luckily, we know how to beat the insurance company, and you can help.
You might think your injury claim is too minor or insignificant to bother calling a lawyer, but these assumptions can damage your ability to file a claim if your injuries get worse. If you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you should at the very least consult with a lawyer, even if you don’t end up hiring one. Despite what an insurance adjuster may tell you, there’s really no way to know how much this accident is going to cost you right away. What seems like a simple injury could require a significant amount of follow-up care, which is going to cost money. If you settle with the insurance company too early for too little, you’re going to be left holding those medical bills.
The truth is there’s no reason not to call a lawyer after an accident. At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we offer free consultations to every accident victim who calls. If you do become a client, we’ll give you our No Fee Guarantee, which means you won’t pay us anything unless we win your case. That means no risk to you. Don’t wait to get the help you need. Call our Norfolk car accident attorneys today.

E-cigarettes have become extremely popular in Norfolk over the last few years. Almost anywhere you go, you spot someone vaping—a trend that has caught on across the country. The appeal for many is the assumption that vaping is safer than traditional smoking. However, some e-cigarette users have discovered that vaping can pose an even greater physical danger.
Certain e-cigarette devices have been known to overheat, resulting in fires and explosions. Incidents have caused severe injuries to users, as well as property damage to homes and apartment buildings. These defective products malfunction due to lithium ion batteries overheating while charging or in use. And because there is little to no oversight in the industry, defective e-cigarette devices continue to flood the market, putting consumers in serious danger.
If you or someone you love has been injured by a defective e-cigarette device, call our Norfolk product liability attorneys today for a free consultation. We’ll investigate the cause of your injuries and fight to get you maximum compensation from the manufacturer. You deserve compensation if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, so call us today.

Every personal injury case requires a great deal of paperwork. As your attorney, we’ll handle the majority of this paperwork on your behalf, so all you have to worry about is your recovery. You might be surprised to learn that the insurance company has mountains of paperwork to process on your behalf as well. In fact, they have a whole file on your injury claim. Here’s the difference. To them, you’re just a number on paper.
You start as an accident report number. Then you become a claim number. Then, if they get their way, you end up as a small settlement number. Their job is to minimize the impact your claim has on their bottom line rather than minimize the impact the accident has on you. It’s simple arithmetic. The less money they pay you for your car accident, the more money they can add to their billion-dollar profits.
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, our job is to make the insurance company pay what an accident victim deserves, not what’s best for their balance sheet. That job isn’t done until you’ve received the maximum compensation possible for your injuries, so you can move forward with confidence knowing your financial situation is secure. If you’ve been injured, call our Norfolk car accident attorneys for a free consultation. You can’t afford to go it alone, so call today.
