Driver Negligence in Car Accidents

Virginia has some of the strictest laws in the nation regarding claims for car accidents. The state enforces the principle of contributory negligence, which means that a plaintiff cannot collect compensation from a car crash if he or she is found to share any fraction of the blame for the accident.

Keeping contributory negligence in mind, you should make sure that your claim is absolutely airtight before taking it to an insurance company. A personal injury lawyer can help you establish the other driver's fault for the accident. Common acts of negligence leading to a crash include:

• Speeding
• Driving under the influence
• Aggressive driving
• Distracted driving, frequently involving cell phone usage, other passengers, or loud music
• Improper vehicle maintenance

We will document any and all evidence pointing to the other driver's negligence. Moreover, we will rebuke any claims that attempt to blame you for the accident, even in some small part.

Compensation in a Car Accident Claim

Life after a car accident can come with unexpected challenges. Injuries like broken bones, fractures, concussions, and internal damage can leave you unable to return to work, removing your main source of income. Furthermore, the stress from the accident can leave you with lasting trauma, which may affect your relationships or your enjoyment of life. When you file a claim for your damages, you should know what damages you can be compensated for. There are multiple categories of damages that your car accident claim can cover, including:

• Economic damages: Your expenses from the accident and your subsequent losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, lost income, and surgeries.
• Non-economic damages: Your pain and suffering resulting from the accident, including emotional distress and physical pain.
• Punitive damages: A punishment that may be applied to the negligent driver in cases of extreme recklessness, such as driving well over the legal limit for blood alcohol content. These damages are only awarded through court litigation.

We will help you negotiate with insurance companies for a full settlement, and if we cannot get you fair compensation outside of court, we will take aggressive measures in court to see that you obtain the financial relief you deserve.

In hit-and-run accidents or cases where the other driver is uninsured, you may have to file an uninsured motorist claim with your own insurance company. Our car accident lawyers can assist you with these claims, advocating for a full payout.
