Understanding Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law allows individuals who have been harmed because of another person's negligence to seek financial compensation. These cases arise when a person or business fails to act with reasonable care and another person suffers injury as a result. Personal injury attorneys represent accident victims and help them recover damages for medical bills lost wages and pain and suffering.

In the United States personal injury claims are governed by state tort law. Victims may pursue compensation through insurance claims or civil lawsuits.

After practicing for 3 years as an assistant district attorney in New Orleans I decided to move to Richmond, Virginia with my wife Kelly, a native Richmonder. Having grown up in New Orleans, I am getting used to the winters up here, but I find that the substantial trial experience that I obtained in New Orleans as an assistant district attorney is invaluable in the civil sector where many attorneys rarely get to court. This familiarity with trial and courtroom procedures serves my clients well.. Recently, I was part of a group of six attorneys who founded the Commonwealth Law Group here in Richmond.  When I am not at the office, I enjoy cooking, tennis, and watching the New Orleans Saints.

Much of Mr. Schilling’s practice is concentrated in the areas of catastrophic auto and truck cases, defective drug-devices and other defective products, medical and nursing home malpractice, and worker’s compensation, but he welcomes your inquiry in other areas involving significant injury or harm.. Mr. Schilling is a graduate of the University of Richmond School of Law in 1983. He also holds the distinction of a Master’s degree in law from the College of William and Mary.
