Virginia Beach Spine Injury Attorney

Spinal injuries carry lifetime costs that most settlements badly undercount. I bring the right experts and fight until your future is protected.

A back or spinal cord injury can mean surgery, chronic pain, and a permanently altered life. I'm Scott Barney, a Hampton Roads personal injury attorney with 20+ years of experience documenting the true, long-term cost of spine injuries and pursuing full compensation, on a no-win, no-fee basis.

How I Help

What I do for you

1

Document severity

I work with spine specialists to establish the full diagnosis and the treatment ahead.

2

Counter the doubt

Insurers claim back pain is exaggerated or pre-existing. I use imaging and expert opinion to prove otherwise.

3

Project the future

I account for surgeries, therapy, and lost earning power over your lifetime.

4

Pursue full value

I negotiate hard and take the case to a Virginia Beach jury if the offer falls short.
