Car Flipped and the Driver Fled the Scene in Lynchburg Virginia


 


In the United States, it is typically a crime to leave the scene of an auto accident. If an unfortunate event occurs and you are in an auto accident, you will most likely need to remain at the scene until authorities release you. When a driver of a vehicle leaves the scene of an accident, liability and the implications on any settlement for insurance compensation increases. I routinely obtain compensation for clients injured in auto accidents as a Car Accident Lawyer.

One of my clients was injured in an accident and the driver of the at-fault vehicle left the scene. I was able to secure the full $25,000.00 insurance policy limits for my client. This recent news article in Lynchburg, Virginia describes the driver of a flipped vehicle leaving the scene of the accident. The accident occurred off of Greenfield Dr. which is close to downtown Lynchburg. Three people were taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. It takes a significant force to flip a motor vehicle and thus the accident was most likely a significant event. Though I would need to do my own investigation into the incident, the three injured persons in the car accident most certainly have an insurance claim for compensation. The fact that the driver left the scene of the accident would most likely expedite the process.

Whenever an accident of this magnitude occurs there are multiple reports that are generated. The responding police department will create a report on the accident which will be the primary indication of who was at fault for the accident. The responding ambulance operator will also generate a report. When an ambulance is called to the scene of an accident there are a couple of reports that are generated, the call report and the report done by the emergency medical services personnel.

If you have been injured in a car accident or have property damage, I encourage you to take advantage of a free consultation. I have helped numerous clients obtain the compensation they are entitled to for their loss.

Please note that none of the foregoing is legal advice nor should be considered a legal advertisement, if you have a legal matter you should most likely contact an attorney. Even if you decide not to call me you should probably still get in contact with a lawyer. The Law Offices of Christopher G.

What is The Drivers Exchange of Information?

Image
 If you are ever in the unfortunate circumstances of needing a car accident lawyer, you will most likely have received a Drivers Exchange of Information. When a person gets into a car accident most of the time the local authorities will respond to the scene. They arrive at the scene assess the situation and issue a drivers exchange of information. Why The Drivers Exchange of Information is Important. When the local authorities arrive on the scene they usually speak to each driver, passengers and any witnesses. The officer will typically collect information about every one they talk to and what the officers findings were. The officer will then put this information in a police report. Generally, the police report is not available immediately and cannot be obtained for a few days or even weeks after the accident. This is precisely why the drivers exchange of information is important. Because the drivers exchange of information is usually distributed to each driver at the scene of the acci

Why you should not post anything about your case on the internet.

Image
 After a car accident a lot of information is typically unknown. There still needs to be an investigation of the accident. The responding officers police report most likely has not been written. Generally, how the accident happened is not established. This is an important consideration when posting information about your accident online. As a general matter, it is best if a client does not post information about their case on the internet. Why you should not put information about your case on the internet. Quite often, persons say inaccurate things online that have nothing to do with the actual events that took place regarding an accident. Sometimes, information posted online can later be used in court to portray a set of events that were not what you meant to portray when you posted about your accident. That is perhaps the biggest reason you should not post anything about your accident online. Even if other people are posting information about your accident online you should ignore it

To determine if you have a claim for compensation resulting from a car accident their are several that I evaluate. Please note that the following is not all inclusive but a general overview. When someone is involved in a car accident their are a variety of factors that we most certainly do not have the time to discuss within this article and therefore there is no way this can be all inclusive.
