Car Accidents

Look in the newspaper or turn on the TV any day, and you will see reports of the carnage on our highways. Even with rising gasoline prices, people get in their cars and drive, sometimes long distances, every day. As the population grows, so do the number of drivers. Especially in Northern Virginia there are drivers from all over the world, many of whom are inexperienced and just as many who are not familiar with the roadways and traffic patterns. The result: distracted drivers = dangerous roads.

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident by an at-fault driver, you have just joined a new club, one you did not ask for or want to join. You have joined the tens of thousands of people who are forced to contend with complicated and confusing matters that you probably haven’t ever had to deal with before.

Who’s going to pay my medical bills?
What happens if I can’t go back to work?
Who will take care of my family?
What do I tell the insurance company that keeps calling me?
