The Virginia Wrongful Death Attorneys’ Perspective

Head-on collisions almost always result in injuries or deaths. Any time a driver goes the wrong way on a road or highway, he or she puts lives at risks. No matter what causes a person to cross a center line or median — alcohol or drug use, distraction, confusion, medical emergency — that individual should be held accountable for all damages and any injuries or fatalities resulting from that loss of control. If the at-fault river dies, his or her insurance company can still be made to pay claims.
