What You'll Learn in This Free Book

In about 90 quick-reading pages, Ken Gibson and John Singleton walk you through the seven mistakes they see Virginia accident victims make most often, the kind that can quietly cost you thousands in compensation you were entitled to. Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why the “friendly” call from the at-fault driver’s insurance adjuster is rarely about helping you, and the specific tactics adjusters use to lower or deny your claim.
  • The hidden injuries (traumatic brain injuries, herniated discs, rotator cuff tears) that only show up days or weeks later, and why prompt medical attention is critical for both your health and your legal claim.
  • Exactly what evidence to gather and document, from crash reports to photos to witness statements, so the insurance company can’t argue “if it isn’t written down, it didn’t happen.”
  • How to find every source of insurance coverage available to you, including uninsured/underinsured motorist “stacking,” med pay, and other coverage on your own policy that most drivers don’t know they have.
  • The social media habits that quietly destroy personal injury cases, and what to do (and not do) with your Facebook, Instagram, and other accounts while your claim is pending.
  • How Virginia law actually calculates what your case is worth, including pain and suffering, inconvenience, lost earnings, and damages that most accident victims never think to claim.
  • Six simple questions to help you decide if hiring a lawyer is the right choice for your case.

You’ll also read the personal accident stories of Ken and John themselves, including the night Ken was rear-ended by a drunk driver and the T-bone collision that left John with nine broken ribs and a collapsed lung. They’ve lived this from both sides.

They Made a Stressful Situation Feel Manageable

From the Attorneys Themselves

Why Trust This Book

This is not just a generic accident guide. It was written by two Virginia trial attorneys who understand the process from both sides, combining their professional experience of handling hundreds of injury cases with their personal experience as crash survivors.

Ken Gibson is a former Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Norfolk and a former federal prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, where he earned an FBI commendation for prosecuting violent criminals. As a U.S. Marine veteran, Ken brings relentless focus and discipline to representing injured Virginians. He also understands their pain firsthand. After a drunk driver rear-ended him as a young attorney, Ken spent months in physical therapy. That personal ordeal fundamentally shapes how he advocates for his clients today.

John Singleton began his legal career at a large insurance defense firm, learning exactly how insurance companies build cases against accident victims. Today, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for the injured. Like Ken, John is a U.S. Marine veteran, having served in China and Beirut. He also knows what it is like to be the one in a hospital bed. After a drunk driver T-boned his vehicle, John was left with nine broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Together, Ken and John have more than 60 years of combined legal experience, and they wrote this book to share what they wish every accident victim knew on day one.
