Co-Counsel Partnerships

Trial Counsel for Serious Injury and Complex Litigation

At Heath Verser, we partner with attorneys on serious personal injury and complex litigation matters. Our firm has substantial experience representing clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other catastrophic injuries, and we welcome opportunities to serve as co-counsel in cases that require significant litigation experience, strategic planning, and trial advocacy.

Whether you need additional resources early in the case, assistance navigating complex medical issues, or experienced trial counsel as a case approaches trial, we are prepared to work alongside you to maximize your client's recovery.

Why Attorneys Partner with Heath Verser

Complex injury cases demand more than routine litigation. They often involve extensive medical records, specialized experts, life care planning, vocational and economic damages, and sophisticated case presentation. 

We help attorneys build compelling cases by providing:

• Experience handling traumatic brain injury and catastrophic injury claims
• Strategic case evaluation and litigation planning
• Evaluation and pursuit of all available insurance coverage
• Development of medical, liability, and damages evidence
• Coordination with medical, engineering, and economic experts
• Discovery, depositions, and dispositive motion practice
• Mediation and settlement advocacy
• Trial preparation and jury trial representation

Our firm works closely with treating physicians and nationally recognized experts to develop persuasive evidence regarding causation, diagnosis, prognosis, future medical needs, lost earning capacity, and the full impact of neurological injuries on our clients' lives.

We are available to serve as co-counsel when a case involves:

• Diffuse axonal injury (DAI)
• Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
• Moderate and severe traumatic brain injury
• Post-concussive syndrome
• Cognitive and executive functioning deficits
• Spinal cord and other catastrophic injuries
• Complex medical causation issues
• Significant future damages and life care planning

We understand that every catastrophic injury case presents unique challenges. Our goal is to help develop the strongest possible case while remaining focused on achieving the best outcome for the client.

A Collaborative Relationship

When attorneys associate Heath Verser as co-counsel, we view the relationship as a true partnership. We respect the trust you have earned with your client and work collaboratively throughout the litigation process. Communication, responsiveness, and preparation are central to our approach.

Our involvement can be tailored to the needs of the case. Some firms bring us in shortly after the case is accepted, while others seek our assistance when a case must be filed.

Local Counsel and Trial Support

Based in Newport News, we assist attorneys with litigation throughout Hampton Roads and across Virginia. Whether you need local counsel, additional litigation resources, or experienced courtroom advocates for a high-stakes case, we are ready to help.

Fee Arrangements

We recognize that every co-counsel relationship is unique. Fee-sharing arrangements are structured in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct and are discussed transparently at the beginning of the representation. Our goal is to create an arrangement that serves the client's interests while providing clarity for everyone involved.

Let's Talk

If you are evaluating a traumatic brain injury, catastrophic injury, or other significant personal injury case and believe an experienced litigation partner could add value, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the matter with you. We are always available for a confidential conversation about strategy, case evaluation, or a potential co-counsel relationship.
