  A common issue after a car accident is dealing with a damaged vehicle. As a general matter, when a client calls me and has a car accident claim, I first see if I can help them obtain medical treatment. Secondly, I get their vehicle addressed as quickly as possible.

The authorities responded to a multiple vehicle accident in Rockingham County Virginia on October 2, 2020 at approximately 12:15pm. Unfortunately, a passenger in one of the vehicles died at the scene of the accident. My heart goes out to the family of the 17-year-old young man. The crash forced a clean up effort that involved the Virginia State Police creating a detour off of the highway and then back on the highway down the road.

  As an Instrument rated pilot, I have a unique understanding as a lawyer of how an Airplane Accident may occur. Though I also practice law as a car accident lawyer , I take airplane accident cases as well. Airplane accidents can occur for a number of reasons. The most commonly faulted reason is pilot error or human error. As a pilot, I understand the multiple checklists that are involved before we even go to the airport, let alone blast off from the runway. Before each flight there is a multitude of checklists and personal factors that a pilot is supposed to consider. For example the IMSAFE checklist. This checklist is utilized to determine if the pilot is safe to fly. The "I" in this IMSAFE checklist sands for Illness. In other words, as a pilot are you ill or healthy. Understanding the physical demands of being a pilot, it is important to not have any illness while you are flying an Airplane. The "M" stands for Medication. Has the pilot taken any medication that...
