Understanding Fault in Portsmouth, VA Car Accident Claims

Collecting compensation after a car crash is much more complex than blaming someone for causing your collision and waiting for payment. No insurance company wants to pay claims, and they will not consider paying yours without clear evidence of their policyholder's fault. Even then, getting as much as you deserve is challenging.

How is fault determined? An accident investigation should reveal how and why your auto collision occurred, which should point toward one or more at-fault parties. Many crashes have multiple contributing factors. In Virginia, pure contributory negligence laws bar you from obtaining payment for your damages if you are partially at fault. Call Whitlock Law, LLC to discuss your legal options rather than assume you are ineligible for compensation.

Although there are other reasons accidents may occur, most contributing factors in motor vehicle collisions are related to negligent driving, such as:

Distracted driving or inattention
Following too closely
Failing to yield the right of way
Ignoring traffic laws
Speeding
Driver fatigue
Disregarding construction zone restrictions

Determining fault will establish liability for paying your damages, which are specific financial or intangible losses caused by your car accident.

Auto Collision Injuries and Damages

Whether your injuries are minor or severe, the at-fault party needs to be held accountable. You are likely to encounter various expenses after an auto accident, including medical treatment costs and property damage. You may need time away from work while you recover. Your mounting expenses while you are unable to work can create a financial burden. You might also suffer intangible losses after your collision that diminish your quality of life. Your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC can help you recover compensation for all eligible damages.

The amount of damages you could receive depends on several case-specific factors, so we cannot estimate your case's worth without a meticulous evaluation. However, we can promise that we will fight hard to help you obtain the highest possible amount, regardless of the challenges that may arise.

From dealing with uninsured/underinsured motorist claims and hit-and-run drivers to untangling multiple-vehicle pileup liability and preventing insurers from taking advantage of you, Whitlock Law, LLC will be by your side throughout your claims process.

The Whitlock Difference

Although any attorney can technically handle your car accident claim, the lawyer you select will significantly impact the outcome. If you choose an inexperienced or unmotivated attorney, you cannot expect optimal results. When you work with Whitlock Law, LLC, you can be confident that we will do everything in our power to achieve the best possible resolution for you.

Protecting your best interests is the reason for all we do, whether we are helping you get the medical treatment you need, evaluating your damages, or litigating your case in court. While other lawyers may be satisfied with minimal settlement amounts, we thrive on holding the at-fault party fully accountable and helping you collect as much compensation as you deserve.
