Every Client Has a Story
At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, we listen, we learn, and we fight for you.
Hear the stories of three Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers clients who suffered injuries after auto accidents in Hampton Roads, Virginia:
* *TJ's Story*- “I was in a seven-car pileup…I couldn’t read, I couldn’t see, I couldn’t do much of anything for myself.”
Military veteran TJ shares the obstacles she faced after suffering a traumatic brain injury from a pileup on the High Rise Bridge—and how she was able to focus on getting better with an attorney Griff O’Hanlon by her side.
* *Rita's Story*- “My car went up in the air…doctors knew that injuries were very bad.”
Rita, a working wife and mother from Chesapeake, recounts her rear-end accident on I-264 and explains why calling Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers was the right choice.
* *Daniel's Story*- “Just hearing, ‘you died twice,’ and you have no recollection of it—it was a lot for me to go through.”
Our client Daniel describes the shock of waking up on a breathing machine after his motorcycle wreck and the relief he experienced after a friend referred him to Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers.

Jury Awards Our Teenage Client $250,000 After Spine Injury From Car Wreck
Our client was ten years old when the car he was in t-boned the front driver door of a construction vehicle after attempting to cross our client's lane of travel.
Following a cervical MRI and neurosurgery consultation, our client was diagnosed with two ligament tears. He was fitted with a cervical collar that he was required to wear at all times for eight weeks.
Thankfully, the ligament tears healed and his cervical spine was overall stable. However, our client was given the unfortunate news that he would forever be at an increased risk for a more severe cervical injury. The neurosurgeon advised that our client refrain from all contact sports. Our client had been an active child who played organized basketball and football prior to his wreck.
In order to secure the compensation we knew our client deserved, we filed suit against the construction company, its employee-driver, and our client’s host driver.
Eventually, a two-day jury trial was had in the Norfolk Circuit Court. After over four hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our client against the construction company and employee-driver in the amount of $250,000, a staggering 10x the amount of the insurance company's original offer.
We are proud to have secured this verdict for our young client. While it's rare for personal injury cases to go all the way to court, it is important that your attorney has the litigation experience and resources to take your case to trial if the insurance company isn't playing fair.

What to Know About Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) After a Car Accident
In this episode, brain injury attorneys John Cooper and Griff O’Hanlon discuss what you should know about traumatic brain injuries after car accidents and how these complex cases are proved and won in court.
In the past few years, John Cooper has recovered over $28 MILLION for brain injury victims.
John wrote The Traumatic Brain Injury Toolkit to give TBI victims and their families valuable insight on these injuries and how to fight insurance companies for fair compensation. This interview touches on some of the main points of the book, including:
* How common terms like “concussion” and “mild traumatic brain injury” can be misleading, and why these injuries should be taken seriously.
* Why TBIs are often overlooked in the emergency room after accidents, and how these injuries can be properly assessed and diagnosed by the right doctors.
* How brain injury attorneys are uniquely positioned to help victims get the best treatment and secure the compensation they need to cover their medical costs and other expenses related to their injuries.

What to Know After a Rear-End Accident (With a Real-Life Case)
Picture this. One moment, you are cruising down the highway on your way home from work. You see that traffic is slowing down ahead, and you start to slow down, too.
The next moment, a vehicle rams into the back of your car. You lose consciousness. When you come to, you’re terrified and disoriented.
Thankfully, you have no signs of any serious physical injuries. But you start experiencing symptoms in the days and weeks following the accident, like dizziness, nausea, and difficulty concentrating.
What do you?
Our client, Sarah, was in a rear-end collision like this, and her story proves that rear-end collisions are not always as simple as they appear to be.
Her attorney, Griff O’Hanlon, is going to share her story with you and discuss how he was able to help get Sarah the compensation she deserves. Take a listen.
