Common Locations Where Car Accidents Take Place

Drivers may be held liable for negligence that leads to car accidents. Collisions can occur in a variety of situations, including:

Intersection Collisions

Intersections can be dangerous, since they are locations where multiple streams of traffic converge. Accidents at intersections may occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, run red lights or stop signs, make improper turns, or misjudge gaps in traffic. T-bone collisions, also known as side-impact crashes, are common at intersections, and they can result in serious injuries due to the limited protection offered by vehicle doors.

Highway and Interstate Accidents

When vehicles travel at high speeds on highways, accidents can become more serious, and they will be more likely to result in severe injuries. Highway accidents may involve multiple vehicles, and several drivers may share fault. Common causes of highway crashes include unsafe lane changes, following too closely (tailgating), speeding, and failing to maintain proper control of a vehicle.

Construction Zone Crashes

When road construction and maintenance is being performed, the altered traffic patterns will require extra attention from drivers. Work zones may feature reduced speed limits, narrow lanes, and the presence of workers and equipment. Construction zone accidents may occur when drivers fail to slow down or remain alert in construction areas. These incidents can cause harm to other motorists and construction workers. Issues such as confusing signs, inadequate barriers, or damaged pavement in construction zones may also contribute to crashes.

Parking Lot Incidents

While collisions in parking lots typically occur at lower speeds than highway crashes, they can still cause significant injuries and property damage. The combination of pedestrian traffic, vehicles that are backing out of parking spaces, and unclear rules about right-of-way can lead to collisions. Pedestrian accidents may occur when people are walking to or from their vehicles. Other collisions may occur when cars are backing out of spaces or when drivers fail to stop when required.

Residential Street Accidents

There are a variety of issues that may lead to accidents on neighborhood streets and residential areas, including children playing near the road, vehicles entering and exiting driveways, and reduced visibility around parked cars. Drivers who violate speed limits or do not watch for pedestrians in residential neighborhoods may cause serious accidents.

Types of Driver Negligence That Can Lead to Car Accidents

Injury victims can take steps to hold negligent drivers responsible for causing car accidents. Some of the forms of negligence that may be addressed in these cases include:

Distracted Driving

Dangerous distractions have become some of the leading causes of car accidents in Virginia and nationwide. Drivers who take their attention away from the road to use cell phones, eat, adjust vehicle controls, or engage in other activities may be unable to respond in time to changing conditions, and they may cause serious accidents. In cases involving distracted driving accidents, our lawyer can gather evidence such as phone records and witness statements to show that a driver was negligent.

Drunk Driving

Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the most dangerous forms of negligence that can lead to car accidents. The use of drugs or alcohol can impair a person's judgment, affect their reaction times, and cause problems with vision and motor skills. Drunk driving accidents often result in severe injuries. Our attorney will work to hold impaired drivers fully accountable for the harm they have caused.

Excessive Speeding and Aggressive Driving

Many drivers violate speed limits or engage in other aggressive behaviors. Speeding will reduce the amount of time that a person will have to react to hazards. At higher speeds, the force of impact of a collision will increase significantly, leading to more serious injuries for the people involved. Aggressive driving behaviors, including tailgating, weaving through traffic, and making illegal turns, can also lead to dangerous accidents. Our lawyer can take steps to show that traffic violations or aggressive behavior by a driver was responsible for causing a collision.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.

How Our Lawyer Helps Car Accident Victims Secure Compensation

Our attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding a car accident, reviewing police reports, obtaining witness statements, analyzing photographs and video footage, and consulting with accident reconstruction specialists when necessary. This evidence-gathering process can establish liability and demonstrate that another driver's negligence was responsible for causing the collision.

Medical documentation will also be an important part of a car accident claim. Our lawyer can work with healthcare providers to obtain complete medical records, bills, and expert opinions regarding injuries and ongoing treatment needs. We will ensure that all current and future medical expenses will be included in a claim.

Calculating the economic damages that have occurred due to a car accident will require a careful analysis of lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and out-of-pocket expenses. Our attorney can gather employment records, tax documents, and other records to demonstrate the full financial impact of the injuries suffered in an accident. If you cannot return to your previous occupation, we will work with vocational experts to calculate the value of your reduced earning capacity.

The compensation paid for a car accident will typically come from an insurance company that provided coverage for the driver who was responsible for causing the collision. These companies will often attempt to minimize payouts by offering quick settlements. Our lawyer can handle all communications with insurance adjusters, protecting you from tactics designed to reduce the value of your claim. We will negotiate aggressively to ensure that settlement offers will reflect the true value of your damages.

When insurance companies refuse to offer reasonable compensation, our attorney is prepared to file a lawsuit and take a case to trial. We have experience presenting evidence to juries and arguing for maximum compensation on behalf of injured clients. We will fight to ensure that you will receive the full compensation you deserve.

Addressing Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Accidents

In some cases, a driver who was responsible for causing an accident may not have enough insurance coverage to fully compensate a victim for their injuries and damages. The minimum liability insurance coverage may not be enough to address serious injuries, or a driver may not have any insurance coverage. Our lawyer can provide guidance on the available options in an uninsured or underinsured motorist accident.

Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can provide protection for injury victims, addressing situations where a driver who was at fault does not have enough insurance coverage. UM/UIM coverage is typically included in an auto insurance policy. Our attorney can help you navigate the process of filing UM and UIM claims, ensuring that the proper coverage will be provided.
