  Richard Bolger is an esteemed, respected and highly reviewed Fairfax personal injury lawyer licensed to practice law in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. No law firm can make promises or guarantees to injury victims about the outcome of any case, and that any mentions of recovery compensation on this website (BolgerLaw.com) are solely and entirely for information purposes. Every case of personal injury or wrongful death presents a unique set of circumstances, issues, and limitations, and therefore we make sure to handle them as separate matters with indeterminate outcomes.

• Property Damage
  Of the many practice areas The Bolger Law Firm handles, personal injury cases tend to have the greatest variability. There are several reasons for this tendency. One is that a case of personal injury could result from a wide variety of scenarios. Motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accident, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, inadequate safety measures, faulty commercial products, physical assault, and other sources of neglect could cause harmful personal injury and justify litigating a liability case. No two types of litigatory action are alike. But another reason is that cases of personal injuries affect clients’ entire lives – loss of earning capacity, property damage, ongoing medical bills, endless insurance claims, and a drastic reduction in quality of life.

Clients of The Bolger Law Firm can have trust and confidence in those from whom they’re receiving legal counsel. To wit, when you call Bolger Law at 703-383-9595 to request your FREE review and case evaluation to analyze the circumstances surrounding your injuries and the potential of making a successful claim of compensation, you will speak directly with an experienced Bolger Law personal injury attorney, not a paralegal or office assistant. Being trustworthy and confident have been hallmarks of our Fairfax personal injury law firm since 1987, and they still are.
• Medical Malpractice
  More than 33 years have passed since 1987 when personal injury lawyer Richard Bolger began advocating for injured clients in civil cases before judges, juries and arbitration boards in Fairfax County courts, presenting successful arguments for the fair compensation which would provide a just monetary restitution for Mr. Bolger’s wrongfully injured clients and their families. Yes, more than 33 years have passed since The Bolger Law Firm was founded as a preeminent personal injury advocacy firm in Fairfax, Virginia – but we’re still hard at work, our attorneys representing clients injured in an accident or by medical malpractice and fighting for the best possible outcome.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  When a Fairfax VA family endures a debilitating serious injury or sudden wrongful death to a family member, there’s no way to completely right the wrong. Whether the personal injury case or wrongful death is due to car accidents, dog bites, criminal act, unsafe premises or other dangerous circumstances, the family’s life is suddenly and dramatically altered. The terrible results of a catastrophic personal injury due to contributory negligence or carelessness extend far beyond the ordeals of pain and suffering, lost wages and other financial support, mountains of medical bills, plus other unexpected costs and debt.

• Foreclosure
  In VA, bankruptcy code immediately invokes an automatic stay against creditors once you file for bankruptcy. It filters out contact about foreclosure, wage garnishment, repossession, or certain lawsuits or collections. Exemptions exist, but for many people in dire financial circumstances of bankruptcy due to loss of income, credit card debt, real estate foreclosure, or personal injury, the automatic stay is a crucial benefit.
