Fatal Death in Rockingham Co. Virginia Car Accident



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.

The family of the young passenger most likely has what is known as a wrongful death insurance claim against the insurance policies in effect at the time of the accident. In Virginia there is a two (2) year statute of limitations on wrongful death cases. This means that in order for the immediate family members of the deceased young man to receive any sort of compensation from the insurance companies they will need to pursue said claim within two years of the accident or October 2, 2022.

An injured passenger in a car accident most likely always has a valid claim for compensation. I have gotten persons injured in car accidents compensation for their claim, check out my results. Unfortunately, in this instance the injury resulted in a young man losing his life. When someone dies in a car accident and it is the fault of another person, it is typically a wrongful death action. I have represented a persons family whom has been killed in an car accident.

The authorities of the Rockingham Co. accident reported that charges are pending. This is important because if charges are pending and actually filed, this typically means that the at-fault driver or the insurance policy in effect at the time of the accident would be unquestionably liable.

What is The Drivers Exchange of Information?

 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

What Happens To My Vehicle After A Car Accident?

  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. Because I understand that a car, at least in most parts of the Country, is an integral part of our lives. What happens to your vehicle after a car accident is dependent on the level of damage to the vehicle. Whether or not the vehicle was declared a total loss is an important determination. In any event, I also move the process along to get clients in rental vehicles after an accident quickly. What If My Car Is Repairable After A Car Accident?

Tractor Trailer Truck Accident

A Distribution Center is generally a central location that Semi-Trucks go to load and unload their Tractor Trailers. The case I worked on was where a tractor trailer truck driver was hit by another tractor trailer truck. If you have been in a Truck Accident, I would highly advise you contact a dedicate Truck Accident Lawyer .             The Distribution Center was a food distribution center for multiple major grocery stores in the area. The injured driver had just pulled out of the loading area for the facility. Typically, the truck drivers were supposed to drive out of the Distribution Centers loading area with the tractor trailer doors open so that the security guard at the exit could look in and check the trailer. Then, the truck driver was supposed to stop and go close the doors to the rear of the tractor trailer.             When the truck driver leaving the facility closed his tractor trailer doors he proceeded around the rear of the trailer to get back in t
