Attorney Discusses the High Car Crash Rate in Hampton Roads
Posted on Feb 04, 2010
My colleague Jim Lewis wrote about a new report revealing Hampton Roads has the highest car accident rate of any urban area in Virginia (VA). Fatal car crashes are increasing and some of the reasons these car wrecks occur are due to distracted driving and not wearing a seat belt. To learn more, check out the blog on the Norfolk Injury Board.

FAQs
Car & Motorcycle Accidents
- I've been hurt in a car wreck and the insurance company for the other driver has called me to give a recorded statement. Should I do it?
- Should I use my regular health insurance to pay for the medical care I need as a result of a car accident?
- Our new clients in car accident cases often asked, "Can I accept a check which has been offered to me for my car repairs or will that mess up my claim for injuries and medical bills?"
- Why shouldn't I just take a quick settlement for whatever the car insurance company for the other driver will pay me?
- What do I do if the at-fault driver's car insurance is not returning my calls or dragging its feet after a Virginia car accident with injuries?
