U.S. Virgin Islands Personal Injury Attorneys

Lawyers Assisting With Injury Cases in St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John

Life in the U.S. Virgin Islands is relaxing, and both residents and tourists are able to enjoy the beautiful weather and gorgeous beaches. Unfortunately, what seems like a paradise can become the opposite when accidents occur that result in serious injuries. If you have suffered an injury that was caused by another's negligence, an experienced attorney can help you determine the best options for pursuing compensation for your damages.

At Colianni & Leonard LLC, we have been practicing law in the Virgin Islands since 1968, and we can provide you with the legal help you need following an injury. Whether you are a resident, a tourist, or someone working on St. Croix, St. Thomas, or St. John, we will work with you to ensure that you receive the compensation that fully addresses the damages you have suffered.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

Injuries can occur in a wide variety of situations, and those who have been injured can recover financial compensation from negligent parties through a personal injury lawsuit. The damages that can be recovered may address the costs of immediate and ongoing medical treatment, the income lost because of the inability to work while recovering from one's injuries, any impairment to a person's ability to earn income in the future, and the physical and emotional pain and suffering experienced by the victim and their loved ones.

We can assist with a wide variety of personal injury cases, including:

• Car Accidents - Motor vehicle collisions are no less dangerous when they occur in beautiful surroundings. Negligent drivers may be held responsible for injuries which occur in crashes involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles. 
• Slip and Fall Accidents - Falls can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, brain trauma, sprains, and dislocated joints. Property owners may be responsible for injuries which occurred because of their negligence.
• Defective Products - Manufacturers may be held responsible for injuries which occur because of dangerous products, or people who rent or sell equipment may be liable for injuries which occurred because of negligent maintenance or improper instructions.
• Tourist Accidents - People visiting the Virgin Islands on vacation may experience injuries on boats or ferries, in hotels or other rental properties, or when enjoying recreational activities, and they may be able to recover compensation from the parties responsible for their injuries.
• Workplace Injuries - Employees injured while working are typically eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits. In the Virgin Islands, longshoremen and dock workers who are injured on the job may need to address complex issues related to maritime law.
