PRACTICE AREAS
Personal Injury
Virginia gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in most personal injury cases, under Va. Code §§ 8.01-243 and 8.01-244. That deadline applies whether your claim involves a car crash, a defective product, or a fall — and Virginia courts enforce it strictly.
Automobile Accidents
Car accidents on Virginia’s rural highways carry risks that don’t exist the same way in a city — long sightlines that tempt speeding, gravel shoulders, farm equipment sharing the road, and stretches where help can be a long way off. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. has represented car accident victims across Buckingham County and Southside Virginia for over 50 years and knows exactly how local insurance adjusters try to minimize these claims.
Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists face a double burden after a crash: serious, often life-altering injuries, and an insurance industry that too often assumes the rider was reckless before any facts are even reviewed. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. has spent over 50 years representing motorcyclists across Buckingham County and the surrounding region, and he doesn’t start from the assumption that his client was at fault — he starts by finding out what actually happened.
Trucking Accident
Commercial trucks moving through Buckingham County and along Route 60 and Route 460 carry a scale of danger that ordinary car accidents don’t. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh twenty to thirty times more than a passenger car, and when one is involved in a crash, the injuries are frequently catastrophic. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. has represented truck accident victims across rural Virginia for over 50 years and understands both the federal regulations that govern trucking companies and the tactics their insurers use to limit payouts.
Wrongful Death
No legal claim can undo the loss of a family member, and nothing about pursuing one should ever feel like it’s putting a price on someone’s life. What a wrongful death claim can do is hold the responsible party accountable and provide real financial stability for the family left behind. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. has guided grieving families across Virginia including Buckingham County and Southside Virginia through this process for over 50 years, with the care of someone who has sat across the table from many of them before, in far better circumstances.
Medical Malpractice
Rural Virginia families often have to travel to Lynchburg, Charlottesville, or Richmond for hospital-level care, placing real trust in providers outside their own community when something goes wrong close to home isn’t an option. When that trust is broken by a misdiagnosis, a surgical error, or a medication mistake, the physical and financial toll can last a lifetime. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. has represented medical malpractice victims through out Virginia inclduing Buckingham County and the surrounding region for decades and understands both the medicine and the legal hurdles unique to these claims in Virginia.
Products Liability
From farm equipment and power tools to vehicle parts and household products, defective and dangerous products injure people across rural Virginia every year. Attorney Herbert E. Maxey, Jr. understands a legal wrinkle that surprises many people: Virginia does not follow the same product liability rules as most other states.
