Motor Vehicle Teen Deaths on the Rise in Virginia 2020


 

In Virginia, the number of motor vehicle related deaths of younger adults is increasing. Most would probably think that with the decrease in daily traffic amid the current lockdown there would be less traffic fatalities, that is not the case. Currently, Virginia is on course to have more teen-related fatalities then the commonwealth did last year as reported by multiple sources. I have represented clients as a Wrongful Death Lawyer for Car Accident related deaths.

As a direct result of the pandemic, traffic is down across the commonwealth. The number of vehicles on the road is less then there was last year at this same time. It is commonly known that younger drivers make more reckless decisions then older ones. Younger drivers are more likely to push the limits of their vehicle and speed while not fully understanding the consequences. Unfortunately, this can quite often result in property damage, serious injury or even death.

As, a car accident lawyer I have represented a number of young adults injured in motor vehicle accidents. One such young man was a passenger in a truck when another vehicle t-boned the car he was riding in. After significant work on the case, researching the injury he sustained and how it was going to affect him for the rest of his life we demanded insurance compensation from the insurance company. The at-fault parties insurance paid a settlement to my client. If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident, I would highly suggest you contact me for a free consultation. My goal with every client is to obtain the maximum value for their claim. Earlier this year, we were able to secure a $75,000.00 insurance settlement for a car accident claim. Several factors go into the value of a claim including, the injuries sustained, the policy limits applicable, the facts of the accident and multiple other criteria. I provide free case evaluations for clients.

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 ...
