Civil & Commercial Litigation Attorney
Civil lawsuits can be stressful — unless you have an experienced trial lawyer fighting for you. Simms Showers LLP represents clients in most areas of civil litigation before federal, state and local courts, including trials, hearings, arbitrations and mediations. If you are facing losses due to someone else’s negligence, our Leesburg civil litigation attorneys can help. We are prepared to conduct an investigation and provide you with the aggressive representation needed in your claim, lawsuit or arbitration.
Tort Law—Personal Injury Lawsuits
One of the largest areas of civil litigation is tort law. A civil tort is a lawsuit filed against a party whose negligence caused the injury or death of the plaintiff. Nearly 150 Virginians are seriously injured in traffic collisions every day, according to Drive Smart Virginia. If you were injured because of another person’s carelessness or recklessness, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit seeking damages. We handle all of the following types of personal injury claims:
- Auto crashes;
- Car crashes;
- Truck crashes;
- Bus crashes;
- Bicyclist injuries;
- Pedestrian injuries;
- Uninsured or underinsured claims;
- Wrongful death claims;
- Medical malpractice;
- Slip and fall injuries;
- Swimming pool accidents;
- Nursing home abuse and neglect;
- Dog bites;
- Defective product claims;
- Other premises liability claims; and
- More.
Employment Disputes
According to a Harvard Business Review survey as reported in Forbes, 58 percent of employees are more likely to trust a stranger than their boss. If you work in a toxic work environment, have been denied your full wages, or your employer has taken negative actions against you because of a protected trait, such as your race, you have grounds to file a lawsuit to not only seek damages, but to regain your employment if you were wrongfully fired, or obtain a raise that was wrongfully taken from you due to discrimination. Examples of employer wrongdoing include the following, and more:
- Discrimination;
- Harassment;
- Wrongful termination;
- Wage and hour disputes;
- PTO disputes;
- Unpaid overtime; and
- Breach of the employment contract.

Leesburg Commercial Litigation Attorney
Business disputes can arise out of contractual misunderstanding or breach, or tortious conduct by either the business or its employees. In some cases, business disputes can be stopped early through the drafting of good contracts or agreements that are designed to memorialize the accurate understanding of the parties to the transactions. However, even with solid documents, disputes can arise after the transaction has been completed, as a result of factors that come later on. In this case, disputes can be resolved in a number of ways.
Commercial litigation is the process of resolving business disputes through legal action, especially through filing lawsuits and going to court. Commercial litigation can sometimes become complex due to the nature of the dispute and the amount of investigation and review that goes into presenting a solid case in court.
