Car Accidents in Virginia
In 2021, there were 118,498 car accidents on Virginia roadways. That is almost a 13,000 increase compared to 2020. The obvious reason for that appears to be because more people returned to work after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in the course of these Virginia car accidents, an excess of 7,397 people including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, suffered a serious injury. This is 600 more than 2020. Also, tragically, 968 people died, which is 121 more people than 2020.
Eighty percent of all crashes in 2021 were attributed to distracted driving.
When A Distracted Driver Causes Serious Injury? What do I do?
Whenever a person needlessly endangers another, harm is the likely outcome. Drivers owe a duty to other drives to avoid needless harm. When you’ve been harmed, a personal injury case is the only option. While the law cannot undo the harm, the law can provide compensation for your injuries.
You need to know a few things if you were injured by a tractor trailer, a drunk driver, or a distracted driver.
Our society has designed a set of rules of the road to protect our drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. These rules are established for the common good. When someone breaks these rules, your life changes in a heartbeat.
