Personal Injury
experts whose
reputation is built
on results,
not advertising
 

Welcome to the home page for the Personal Injury Group of the law firm Michie Hamlett Lowry Rasmussen & Tweel PLLC. The lawyers in our section of the firm have devoted their practices to representing people who have been seriously injured or who have lost family members in accidents. We -- Gary Kendall, Kevin Ryan, Bryan Slaughter, Paul Thomson, Greg Webb, and Christine Thomson -- have developed an expertise in successfully representing people injured by burns, explosions, truck accidents and other motor vehicle accidents, heavy equipment, defective products, and medical malpractice.

While our offices are located in Charlottesville and Roanoke, our practice is statewide and beyond. We have filed and tried our clients’ cases in courts throughout the state of Virginia, including Norfolk, Portsmouth, Williamsburg, Richmond, Chesterfield, Fairfax, Alexandria, Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Louisa, Harrisonburg, Roanoke, Abingdon and Grundy. Beyond Virginia we have represented clients in the courts of states including New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, California, Utah, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, North Dakota and the District of Columbia where we work with local lawyers to pursue our clients’ interests.

Our reputation is built not on advertising but on results for our clients. Results of some of our cases are described in the Verdicts & Settlements page on this website.

Personal injuries take many forms. Many of our clients have lost a leg, suffered brain injury, burns, broken bones, scarring, spinal cord injury and paralysis, or death of a spouse. With these injuries come questions. How will I pay the doctor bills? How will I make a living if I can’t work anymore? How will I take care of my children?

The philosophy of the Personal Injury Group is simple. Life is about responsibility. When companies, drivers or doctors injure others, they should be held responsible for what they have done. For a company that manufactures cars, equipment or household products, a business license is not a license to injure, maim or kill. Making a living is no excuse for cutting corners and taking risks that put people in danger at work, at home, in the operating room, or on our roads and highways. Care and safety are priorities, not afterthoughts. When our clients are injured due to the careless conduct of others, we help our clients recover from those responsible for their injuries so our clients can continue fulfilling their own responsibilities to their families and loved ones.

A just society is a responsible society.
