It's Easy to Get Started
The Firm Insurance Companies Do Not Want to See
Trial Lawyers, Not Settlement Lawyers
Gray Broughton and Sharif Gray try cases in court. Insurance companies track which firms settle and which ones show up to trial. That distinction changes the value of your case from the very first demand letter.
Veteran-Owned, Military Discipline
Both founding attorneys served as United States Army JAG Officers. That background built the firm’s standard for investigation, preparation, and accountability on every case.
Selective Caseload, Full Resources
The firm does not take every call. It accepts a limited number of cases so each client receives the complete attention of the trial team, not a paralegal managing a stack of files.
Trusted by Other Attorneys
Law firms across Virginia refer their most difficult cases to Gray Broughton Injury Law, particularly high-value traumatic brain injury trials. That referral pattern exists because other attorneys trust this firm’s courtroom record.

Virginia’s Contributory Negligence Rule
The 1 percent rule
Virginia is one of only five jurisdictions that follows pure contributory negligence. If the insurance company proves you were even 1 percent at fault for the crash, your entire claim can be denied. No partial recovery. Nothing.
What insurance companies look for
A rolling stop before the crash. Crossing outside a crosswalk. Not wearing a seatbelt. One inconsistent word in a recorded statement. Adjusters are trained to find any detail that shifts even a fraction of fault onto you so the insurer pays nothing.
How the firm defeats this defense
Gray Broughton Injury Law front-loads its liability analysis on every case. The firm investigates early, preserves time-sensitive evidence, and builds the case to shut down this defense before the insurance company has a chance to shift blame.
Exceptions that may still allow recovery
The “last clear chance” doctrine may apply if the defendant had a final opportunity to avoid the crash and failed to act. Willful and wanton conduct by the defendant can also override contributory negligence. Both require deep trial experience to raise and win.
What Full and Fair
Value Looks Like
The firm does not chase quick settlements. It pursues the full and fair value of what was taken from your health and quality of life. That includes every category of loss:
- Past and future medical expenses, including surgeries, rehabilitation, prescriptions, and ongoing therapy.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work.
- Physical pain and the daily limitations that come with a permanent injury.
- Emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and strain on family relationships.
- Punitive damages in cases involving especially reckless or intentional conduct.
Virginia does not cap damages in most personal injury cases. Caps apply to medical malpractice and punitive damages, but for the majority of injury claims, the value depends on the evidence and the willingness of your legal team to present it to a jury.
The Two-Year Filing Deadline
Under Virginia Code Section 8.01-243, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss that deadline by one day and the court will dismiss the case, no matter how strong the evidence or how severe the injuries.
Wrongful death claims carry the same two-year deadline, generally running from the date of death. Claims against government entities can carry notice requirements as short as six months.
Insurance companies know this deadline exists. Some will deliberately stall and hope you miss the window. Contacting an attorney early protects your filing rights and gives the legal team time to investigate the scene, obtain surveillance footage before it is deleted, and interview witnesses while their memories are still intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gray Broughton Injury Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay attorney’s fees upfront. Instead, the firm’s fee is taken from the compensation recovered for you through a settlement or verdict. This allows injured people in Henrico to get legal help without adding more financial pressure after an accident.
You may still have options if the person responsible for your injury is uninsured or does not have enough coverage. Depending on the situation, your own insurance policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. A Henrico personal injury lawyer can review the available policies and help identify every possible source of compensation.
Yes, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim if your injury happened because a property owner failed to keep their premises reasonably safe. These cases can involve falls, unsafe walkways, poor lighting, broken stairs, or other hazards. Gray Broughton Injury Law can help determine whether negligence played a role and what evidence may support your claim.
Pain and suffering does not have one simple calculation. Insurance companies, attorneys, judges, and juries may consider the severity of the injury, the length of recovery, the impact on your daily routine, and whether the injury caused lasting physical or emotional harm. Strong medical records, photos, personal notes, and testimony can all help show how the injury has affected your life.
