Our top priority is the outcomes we achieve for our clients, and we are proud to

CONFIDENTIAL

case was like in the book/movie The Rainmaker.”
CLIFF D.

SCOTT B.

was a work of art — it was also the
HARRY B.

AREAS OF PRACTICE
CAR ACCIDENTS
For 2022, I was voted “Lawyer of the Year” by my fellow lawyers in Best Lawyers
in America – the premier legal honorary in the United States – for “Plaintiff
Personal Injury” for the Norfolk (Southeast) Region of Virginia. In fact, for 17
consecutive years from 2007 to 2023, I have been named in Best Lawyers in
America for “Plaintiff Personal Injury”. Those recognitions are for my handling
of auto accident cases on behalf of crash victims.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
For 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2023, I was voted “Lawyer of the Year” by my
legal colleagues in Best Lawyers in America – the premier law practice honorary
in the United States – for “Plaintiff Medical Malpractice” for the Norfolk
(Southeast) Region of Virginia. In fact, for 17 consecutive years from 2007 to
2023, I have been named in Best Lawyers in America for “Plaintiff Medical
Malpractice”. Those recognitions are for my handling of medical malpractice
cases on behalf of victim patients.
SPECIFIC TYPES OF CAR ACCIDENTS
PASSENGER VEHICLES
Passenger vehicles include a wide variety of motor vehicles. While they tend to
exhibit safety precautions, they open us to the possibility of injury.
Learn More
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
Commercial vehicles can be especially dangerous due to their size, which is why
Waterman Law Centers works to help victims of commercial vehicle accidents.
Learn More
BICYCLISTS/ PEDESTRIANS
Bicyclists and pedestrians lack the protection of airbags or seatbelts,
resulting in serious injury in the event of an accident.
Learn More
SPECIFIC AREAS OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE FOCUS
PATIENT FALLS
Falls by hospital patients and nursing facility residents are daily occurrences
that usually are the fault of healthcare providers. I successfully have
pioneered patient/resident falls as a viable genre of medical malpractice for
decades.
Learn More
OTHER HOSPITAL NEGLECT
The two most common types of medical malpractice in hospitals are medication
errors and patient falls. I handle both regularly, plus surgical and other
errors.
Learn More
SURGICAL ERRORS
The two most common types of medical malpractice in nursing facilities are
pressure wounds and resident falls. Again, I handle both regularly.
Learn More
CUTTING-EDGE CASE EXAMPLES
BRAIN IMAGING
I employed cutting-edge 3.0 Tesla MRI – most MRIs still are the less-revealing
1.5 Tesla – to neutralize defense expert claims that my brain injury client
simply was exaggerating and malingering, obtaining a $6,000,000.00 jury verdict
in Gloucester. I reportedly was the first lawyer in any Virginia Circuit Court
to introduce brilliant Diffusion Tensor Imaging (“DTI”) into evidence at trial
to prove brain injury, obtaining a $3,500,000.00 jury verdict in Newport News…
Learn More
INCIDENT REPORTS
I established the right of medical malpractice victims to obtain healthcare
incident (accident) reports and staff educational/training materials and to use
them as evidence at trial. My landmark opinion from the Virginia Supreme Court
still stands today and, moreover, continues to be controlling legal authority
for patients obtaining and using other types of records about them that
healthcare providers inappropriately segregate, withhold, and claim…
Learn More
MVA STATEMENTS
For 20+ years, Mr. Waterman has spearheaded the legal battle to obtain for
accident victims the recorded statements, reports, etc. of parties and witnesses
taken by auto liability insurers and Defendant companies. His tenacity has
shifted the weight of Court rulings from being defense-oriented to favoring
Plaintiff victims of motor vehicle accidents (“MVA”) and other incidents.
Obviously, being able to hold Defendants and other witnesses to their original
candid contemporaneous…
Learn More
ELECTRONIC RECORDS
I pioneered Virginia patients obtaining by printout, by electronic copy and/or
by on-site (expert) inspection all of the audit trails and metadata for their
electronic medical records maintained by healthcare providers. The half-dozen
favorable opinions and orders I obtained from Virginia Circuit Courts are
published authority, used by other lawyers and even taught in continuing legal
education seminars. Mr. Waterman’s legal precedent led the Virginia General
Assembly…
Learn More
POLICIES & PROCEDURES
For 25+ years, Mr. Waterman has championed the legal fight for the discovery and
the admissibility of policies and procedures (“P&P”) of hospitals, nursing
homes, and other healthcare facilities. His advocacy for victim patients has
produced a sea-change in judicial thinking and rulings.
Before 1997, healthcare providers (“HCPs”) strenuously opposed all P&P
discovery, uniformly claiming “privilege” against discovery under Va. Code
§8.01-581.17 and inadmissibility under the…
Learn More
PILOT PROGRAMS
Mr. Waterman has pioneered discovery of hospital “pilot programs” for Plaintiff
victim patients in medical malpractice cases. His trilogy of favorable published
opinions are the first reported ones in Virginia and are believed to be some of
the earliest ones nationwide. See, Rauchfuss v. Schultz, 2016 Va. Cir. LEXIS 24
(Newport News Mar. 15, 2016), 2015 Va. Cir. LEXIS 186 (Newport News Dec. 15,
2015), and 2015 Va. Cir. LEXIS 69 (Newport News May 26, 2015)…
Learn More
LEARNED TREATISES
Progressively, Mr. Waterman uses medical “learned treatises” in motor vehicle
accident (“MVA”) cases, not only in medical malpractice cases. He also authored
a prevailing legal brief in the leading “learned treatise” case before the
Virginia Supreme Court. Medical “learned treatises” – typically referred to as
the “medical literature” by medical malpractice practitioners – is a statutory
hearsay exception in Virginia. Under Va. Code §8.01-401.1, experts can rely upon
and…
Learn More
LIFE EXPECTANCY
Progressively, Mr. Waterman uses Virginia’s “Table of Life Expectancy” not only
in wrongful death cases, but also in personal injury cases! Va. Code §8.01-419
embodies Virginia’s “Table of Life Expectancy”. It is an actuarial table of life
expectancy for males and of females from ages 0 to 100. By that statute, that
Table legally is the presumptive life expectancy for individuals to be received
in evidence in Court, subject to “other evidence as to the…
