I get so frustrated reading about accidents caused by speeding drivers. If only the driver of the sedan had exercised caution and driven the speed limit, maybe this accident could have been avoided. If the victims in the minivan miss a significant amount of time from work, accrue large medical bills or suffer a decrease in their quality of life because of this accident, they should consult with a personal injury attorney in Virginia to discuss their legal options. A personal injury claim can help recover some of these expenses and provide compensation for lost wages and pain and suffering.
