The absolute best firm in the state for personal injury cases, for sure! I was treated with respected always. I was given counsel anytime I needed and want charged for every little second. They're far more than fair. They fight like Ali for you. I am so grateful for Blank & Marcus. Bonus, the paralegal "Michele" is so wonderfully kind and attentive. This bonus was one of the best parts of the experience for me. She made sure any concern I had was handled timely and with diligence. If I could vote ten stars I would. THANKS BLANK AND MARCUS!!!

I'm blown away by the service I received from Blank & Marcus ! After my accident, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure about what to do next. Mr. Keith Marcus took the reins and guided me through the entire process with compassion, expertise, and a fierce determination to get me the compensation I deserved. From our first meeting, I felt heard and understood. Mr Marcus listened attentively to my concerns, answered all my questions, and provided clear, concise advice. He handled my case with expertise, care and patience and kept me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with an injury claim!

I was hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene and was later arrested. My vehicle was totaled, I was in PT for 9 months and Keith Marcus and his staff were by my side every step of the way! You would expect a lawyer who “only gets paid when you get paid” to not be concerned about your well being until you have been released by the doctors. Not Mr. Marcus! He checked on me regularly to make sure I was feeling better and reassuring me that he would handle all the paperwork that came my way and for me to just focus on getting better. Michelle and Jenny were also wonderful to work with and made the paperwork process very easy. I HIGHLY recommend Blank and Marcus for your legal needs.

Common Injury Cases in Petersburg and Nearby Areas

Car Accident Cases in Petersburg

Crashes along I-95, I-85, and corridors like Temple Avenue tend to move fast — multiple vehicles, conflicting accounts, and insurers pushing for quick statements. These cases are built on early evidence collection: crash reports, witness accounts, and vehicle data gathered before things disappear.

Premises Liability Cases



Falling stick figure.

Slip and fall incidents, unsafe properties, and negligent security issues come up regularly around Southpark, in apartment complexes, and in commercial spaces throughout the area. These claims turn on what the property owner knew and what they did about it.

Dog Bite and Animal Attack Cases

Dog attacks in residential neighborhoods or public spaces can cause serious, lasting harm. These claims usually involve insurance coverage, animal control records, and an owner's history with the dog.




Why Petersburg Injury Cases Require Local Context

Major Roadways and Traffic Patterns

I-95 and Route 460 bring a different kind of crash than a local side street — higher speeds, more vehicles, and more complicated fault questions.

Commercial and Retail Zones

Southpark and Temple Avenue see heavy foot traffic, which means more premises incidents and more chances for documentation to surface quickly if you act early.

Military and Government Presence

Fort Gregg-Adams creates unique circumstances in some cases, particularly when service members or contractors are involved.

Medical Treatment Access

Southside Regional Medical Center is often where treatment begins, and those early records play a central role in how damages are documented.
