Causes of Waynesboro, VA Car Accidents

In legal matters, negligence involves the failure to act in the way that a reasonable person would behave, and it is the basis for most personal injury claims. Whether your injuries were sustained in a truck, car, motorcycle, pedestrian, or bicycle accident, someone's negligence was probably a contributing factor. Most collisions happen due to negligent driver errors, including:

• Improper merging or passing
• Tailgating
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Running stop signs or red lights
• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Failing to comply with school or construction zone restrictions
• Intoxicated driving
• Driving while fatigued

Other people, companies, organizations, or government entities could also be at fault. In many cases, an investigation must be conducted to understand why and how a collision happened, determine fault, and establish liability for paying damages to injury victims. Although you probably do not have the resources or experience necessary to perform a thorough investigation to make sure evidence is gathered and preserved, that is one of the tasks that Whitlock Law, LLC will undertake on your behalf.

Injuries and Losses in Auto Collisions

Your injuries might be minor, but they could be severe. Injuries frequently sustained in motor vehicle collisions include:

• Soft tissue or organ damage
• Cuts, scrapes, and bruises
• Burns
• Facial lacerations
• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash
• Concussions
• Broken bones

Your injuries likely required medical treatment and have potentially caused you to experience severe, long-term consequences. For instance, you may be facing a new, accident-related disability that requires home and vehicle modifications and has caused you to suffer significant emotional distress.

Damages for personal injury claims are divided into specific categories of losses, and the term also refers to the money you could collect because of them. Economic damages may reimburse you for accident-related expenses, such as medical treatment costs, necessary medical equipment, vehicle or home modifications, and the income you lose while you are unable to work after your accident. Non-economic damages are subjective, and they could compensate you for:

• Disability
  
• Loss of the ability to enjoy life
• Damage to personal relationships
• PTSD, depression, and anxiety
• Disfigurement
• Other forms of pain and suffering

Generally speaking, the worse the impact on your quality of life, the higher your non-economic damages could be. You can trust Whitlock Law, LLC to accurately evaluate your damages and work diligently to help you obtain the highest possible amount.

Challenges in Car Accident Claims

Many concerns may arise during the process of filing a car accident claim that may directly impact the payout you could receive, such as:

• Virginia's pure contributory negligence laws
• Determining liability for multiple-vehicle or commercial vehicle collisions
• Uninsured/underinsured or hit-and-run motorists
• Insurance companies that actively attempt to deny your claim in bad faith

Whatever challenges you face with your claim, Whitlock Law, LLC will be by your side, offering the support and legal guidance you need for a successful resolution.
