Not Liable For Workplace Death But May Be Scapegoated. What Specific Kind Of Defense Lawyer Should I Look For If It Goes To Trial?

Throwaway account because my real one would be identifiable. Location: Virginia.

An incident occurred at my place of work that resulted in someone dying. At the time of the incident, I was present on site, and was part of a team who unsuccessfully attempted life-saving measures. All staff on site at the time provided written statements for law enforcement.

Despite being on site, I was not in a position where I would have been considered responsible for preventing the incident from happening. Follow-up medical investigations have concluded that there was no negligence when it came to the attempted life-saving measures. Basically, I don't believe that there's any way, shape or form, I could personally be considered at all liable for the death.

My employer is now having legal action brought against them. The opposing legal team is arguing that specific variables and hazardous conditions contributed to the death. At least one of these hazards, I had brought to upper management's attention multiple times. I was told that things would not change and to work around the hazard. I am unsure as to whether or not the presence of this hazard was actually illegal. I am sure the opposing legal team is working to find that out.

I have met twice with legal representatives working for/with my employer. In the first meeting, I was asked questions about general policy and procedures at my workplace, as well as asked to recount my experience on the day of the incident. This lawyer told me that it was extremely unlikely to ever go to trial and would likely be solved with private mediation/settlement, but that he would "shield" employees from the process if it came to that. In the second meeting, with a different lawyer of the same firm, I was reminded that I legally do not have to talk to cops or government departments without legal representation. (I have recordings of both of these meetings)

The opposing legal team has now put forth a statement that they will be seeking trial by grand jury and want to subpoena witnesses. I have had multiple people express to me that I should get my own lawyer in case my employer tries to turn things around on me and scapegoat me (and/or others) somehow. Again, I really don't think they have any kind of leg to stand on, but I can't be sure they won't try.

My question is, if I do decide to retain my own counsel, what kind of defense lawyer should I look for? I asked the first lawyer what specific area of law his firm practices and he said they are "trial litigators" for civil cases, specifically personal injury and property damage.

Thank you in advance.
