When an accident leaves you injured, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn, the attorneys at Strickland, Diviney & Segura are ready to stand with you. Based at 131 Kirk Ave. SW in downtown Roanoke, our firm has spent decades fighting for injured Virginians at the Roanoke City Circuit Court and Roanoke General District Court. We handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing.
Roanoke City: A Busy Community Where Accidents Happen
Roanoke is the commercial and medical hub of Southwest Virginia. With major corridors like I-581, US-220, and the downtown loop channeling thousands of daily commuters, traffic collisions are a constant reality. Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and Lewis-Gale Medical Center serve as regional trauma centers, receiving victims of serious crashes from across the Blue Ridge. If you were hurt in Roanoke — whether on Peters Creek Road, in the Towers Shopping Center parking lot, or along the Roanoke River Greenway — you have rights, and we know how to enforce them.
How We Approach Your Personal Injury Case
Our attorneys, Correy Diviney and Anthony M. Segura, take a thorough, aggressive approach to personal injury representation. From the moment you call, we begin building your case: preserving evidence, identifying liable parties, securing expert witnesses, and calculating the full scope of your damages. We do not settle for less than what our clients deserve.
What We Recover for Injured Clients
A successful personal injury claim in Virginia can recover economic damages — medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and future lost income — as well as non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also be available. Virginia’s contributory negligence rule makes it vital to have counsel who can defend your degree of fault while maximizing your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Virginia?
Virginia’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. However, claims against government entities may require a notice of claim filed within a much shorter window. An attorney at Strickland, Diviney & Segura can review your situation and ensure critical deadlines are not missed.
What types of personal injury cases does Strickland, Diviney & Segura handle in Roanoke?
The firm handles car and truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, premises liability, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice, wrongful death, dog bites, and injuries caused by drunk drivers. Cases are litigated at both the Roanoke City Circuit Court and Roanoke General District Court.
How is compensation calculated in a Roanoke personal injury case?
Compensation typically includes medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. Virginia is a contributory negligence state, meaning any fault on your part can affect recovery — making skilled legal representation essential.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. An initial settlement offer is rarely the full value of your claim. The attorneys at Strickland, Diviney & Segura evaluate offers against your actual damages and negotiate aggressively before any settlement is accepted.
Where are the courts that handle personal injury cases in Roanoke City?
Personal injury cases in Roanoke City are heard at the Roanoke City Circuit Court, located at 315 Church Ave. SW, and the Roanoke General District Court at the same address. Our attorneys practice regularly before both courts and are familiar with local procedures and judges.
