Exercise Care on Virginia's I-95 Near Richmond

Many Virginia attorneys who litigate highway accident claims already know this: work on overpasses and other highway construction can contribute to auto accidents on Virginia highways, and even result in fatalities, especially when they are congested and speed limits are higher. Heavy traffic volume, including cross-country tractor trailers and semis, especially along I-95, I-64, and I-295 in and around Richmond, shorten the time between necessary repairs, and those VDOT crews have to block one or more lanes of traffic to get the work done safely.

Recently, VDOT attributed one multi-car collision involving a tractor trailer on I-95 near Richmond to work it was performing on an overpass. One person died at the scene in that accident.

Be careful when traveling these roadways for your own safety, and that of your family.

Virginia Accident Attorney Warns Against Rubber- Necking

Rubber-necking is dangerous, especially on Virginia's congested and bumpy interstates around Richmond. Among the most frequent causes of traffic accidents in Virginia in 2006 and 2007 was "driver distraction," according to reports of the Virginia State Police. Virginia accident attorneys know this, especially if they have been practicing long enough.

If you travel frequently on I-95, I-64, or I-295 in and aroound Richmond you will regularly see a crash or two. And if you are like most folks, you will slow down to get a better look as you pass the scene. But that is not the thing to do. You could be setting yourself up for involvement in a potentially fatal accident of your own. This happen just a few months ago on I-95.

A fiery crash along Interstate 95 in Prince George County in Virginia left person one dead, seven injured and snarled traffic for miles. State Police Sgt. Tom Cunningham said the Monday morning crash closed both northbound and southbound lanes of the highway.

Cunningham said the mess began when a car blew a tire and pulled off into the median. He said motorists in the southbound lane slowed to look at the disabled vehicle and a tractor trailer hauling sand plowed into several of the vehicles.

Virginia Divorce and Family Law Attorney

My husband and I are going through a divorce. In return for my giving up my half interest in our stocks -- currently valued at $100,000 -- he proposes carrying a term life insurance policy until he reaches age 65 with me as the beneficiary under which I will receive $500,000 if he dies before age 65. I think its worth the gamble because he's an idiot and will do something stupid to die young, but is it legal?. I don't want to do this if the court will not enforce it.

My child support payments are set by a court order. It was effective almost two years ago. However, due to the slowdown in the economy, my hours at work have been cut back and the reduction in my income has made it difficult for me to pay child support and my other expenses. My ex-wife knows about this but insists that I continue to pay the court-ordered amount of child support or she will have me held in contempt. Is there anything I can do?

Richmond Virginia Reckless Driving Attorney

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-boned the BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do this even when the owner of the other car paid the insurance premiums on time?
