About Michael

Michael Phelan is a Virginia trial attorney who focuses on complex catastrophic injury and death cases caused by defective products, tractor-trailer truck and other vehicle crashes, explosions, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices and other negligent acts. He has a special focus on traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. Michael’s peers have consistently recognized him for his excellence as a trial lawyer, and his clients have praised him for his commitment to deep research, his outstanding communication skills, and his sincerity and dedication. Michael’s tenacity on behalf of his clients resulted in one of the largest settlements in the country in a benzene exposure case, and he has been twice recognized for achieving some of the highest settlements in Virginia in traumatic brain injury cases. His daughter has intellectual disabilities due to a birth-related traumatic brain injury, and Michael credits her for inspiring him to work tirelessly and to fight for the victims of brain injuries.
