Virginia DUI Driver Causes Head-On Fatal Cash | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

The lack of accountability for one’s actions can have devastating consequences. As Virginia personal injury attorneys, we have seen firsthand the life-changing injuries innocent victims suffered at the hands of careless drivers.
