Serious Personal Injury Representation in Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia
Serious injuries deserve serious representation.
Our Approach
Alexandria's dense urban core — the King Street corridor, the Route 1 interchange, and the I-395 approaches — generates a significant volume of serious motor vehicle accidents. The city's mix of commuter traffic, pedestrian activity, and commercial vehicles creates conditions that lead to catastrophic collisions, and Virginia's contributory negligence rule means that the legal decisions made in the immediate aftermath of an injury can determine whether a victim recovers anything at all.
Greenberg Costle & Bradley represents seriously injured individuals and families in Alexandria and the surrounding Northern Virginia region. We handle the cases where the stakes are highest — catastrophic accidents, wrongful death, and significant injuries that require experienced trial counsel. Our Alexandria office at 1800 Diagonal Road puts us close to the courts and the community we serve.
What We Handle
Our Philosophy
Virginia's pure contributory negligence standard is among the harshest in the nation — any fault attributed to the injured party can bar recovery entirely. In Alexandria, where accidents often involve complex multi-party liability, commercial vehicles, and government-owned roads, the factual investigation that happens in the first days and weeks after an injury is decisive. We begin building the case from the moment we are retained.
Every client who retains Greenberg Costle & Bradley works directly with a named partner. We do not hand cases off to junior associates. We do not process volume. We focus on the cases that matter — and we give them the attention they deserve.

Common Questions
Personal injury cases in Alexandria are typically filed in Alexandria Circuit Court. Cases involving federal parties or meeting the federal diversity jurisdiction threshold may be heard in the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. Our attorneys are experienced in both venues.
Virginia applies pure contributory negligence, which means that if you are found to bear any fault for your own injury — even 1% — you may be barred from recovering any damages. This makes the factual investigation and legal framing of your case critical from the very beginning. Insurance adjusters and defense counsel will look for any evidence of contributory negligence.
The general statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Virginia is two years from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. Claims against government entities may have shorter notice requirements. It is important to consult with an attorney promptly after an injury.
Yes. Pedestrian accidents — particularly those involving crosswalks, intersections, and the King Street and Route 1 corridors — are a significant part of our Alexandria personal injury practice. These cases often involve questions of right-of-way, traffic control, and municipal liability that require experienced counsel.
