Suffolk Car Accident Lawyer

Suffolk Car Accident Attorney

Experienced Motor Vehicle Collision Lawyer in Suffolk, Virginia

Car accidents can happen without warning, and they often leave the people involved with serious injuries, severe pain, and mounting medical bills. Driver error causes the vast majority of traffic collisions, meaning that many accidents could have been prevented had drivers used more care. If someone else's negligence caused your crash, you could have grounds to file a claim to recover financial compensation.

Collecting as much compensation as you deserve requires hard work, legal knowledge, experience, and skill. Many injured victims throughout Virginia rely on Whitlock Law, LLC to help with their claims and ensure that they can maximize the compensation they receive. We have a well-earned reputation for doing everything we can to support and guide our clients, and we always focus on protecting their best interests.

The Role of Negligence in Suffolk, VA Car Accidents

In personal injury matters, negligence means not behaving like a reasonable person would in identical circumstances. For example, a reasonable person knows that drunk driving is likely to cause an accident that may injure others, so a person who ignores those risks and drives while intoxicated will usually be considered negligent. Negligence is the basis for most personal injury claims.

In Virginia, pure contributory negligence laws prohibit you from collecting payment if you share fault for causing the accident that injured you. Do not assume you are ineligible; instead, contact Whitlock Law, LLC to discuss your accident and your legal options.

If you qualify for compensation, you must prove that someone else's negligence was the direct cause of your accident, injuries, and related damages. Negligent driver errors that frequently cause collisions include:

Tailgating
Distracted driving
Drunk driving
Driver fatigue
Speeding
Ignoring traffic laws

While driver error is responsible for most car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, other parties could also be at fault. Determining fault and liability can sometimes be challenging, such as in multiple-vehicle collisions, commercial vehicle and rideshare accidents, and hit-and-run crashes. Investigations or accident reconstructions may be necessary to identify the at-fault parties and establish liability for paying compensation for your damages. When you choose Whitlock Law, LLC, we will handle all aspects of your claim.

The Losses You Could Face After a Suffolk, Virginia Auto Collision

Injuries sustained in car crashes may require extensive medical treatment, hospital stays, surgery, medications, rehabilitation, and time away from work while you recover. Your car may need repair or replacement, and you likely have other accident-related expenses. Economic damages may reimburse you for financial losses such as lost income, medical treatment costs, property damage, replacement services, and other eligible damages.

You may also be facing intangible losses, such as inconvenience, loss of the enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, anxiety, PTSD, depression, permanent disfigurement, and disabilities caused by your car accident. Non-economic damages could compensate you for these subjective losses. The more significantly these conditions have diminished your quality of life, the higher your damages may be. Your attorney from Whitlock Law, LLC knows how to evaluate your damages accurately, and we will fight to help you obtain as much as you deserve.
