Covington Personal Injury Law Firm

Overview

Updike, Nicely & Crawford is truly a "small" firm with a "big" practice, and we routinely represent clients in cases all over Virginia and beyond. Our firm, a Martindale-Hubbell AV rated firm, traces its history back over 80 years in Southwestern Virginia, and we have concentrated our practice on the representation of injury victims for decades.

If you have been injured, you have probably just begun to realize the many complexities of the claims process. Instead of focusing on medical treatment and recovery, most personal injury victims find themselves focused on insurance issues, claims procedures and layers of paper work. At Updike, Nicely & Crawford, we understand and recognize the complications of a personal injury case. We know that navigating a modern personal injury case requires an intimate knowledge of insurance and the coordination of insurance benefits, including but not limited to health insurance, automobile medical expense payment coverage, uninsured and underinsured insurance, property damage coverage, workers compensation, disability, ERISA and others. We strive to help each client navigate through his or her individual set of facts and circumstances for the most complete resolution possible.

At Updike, Nicely & Crawford, we utilize a true "team effort", with all of our attorneys working on every significant case from beginning to end. Working together, we are able to utilize each of our strengths in every case to maximize your recovery. Our firm routinely takes on some of the biggest defense firms in Virginia, and we commit to work as hard for each of our clients as we would for ourselves, treating each client with the dignity and respect he or she deserves.

If we take your case, we will commit to help you through all aspects of the process until your case is resolved. Moreover, unlike some firms who advertise themselves as "trial" lawyers, our firm has been trying cases for decades. While we are successful in settling the majority of our cases out-of-court, rest assured that we will not hesitate to take any case, big or small, to trial. As you can see under our "Verdicts and Settlements", we have a history of success both in court verdicts and in out-of-court settlements. We routinely handle cases throughout Virginia and have also been involved in numerous cases arising in other states and jurisdictions.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
