Accident Fatality on I-95 Near Richmond Results in Reckless Driving Charge For Driver Who Fell Asleep
Virginia’s population growth in recent years means more drivers on the road, and not surprisingly more drivers means there have been more accidents. Traffic accidents are a serious issue in Virginia, and over a thousand people lost their lives just last year because of car, truck, motorcycle, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents. These potential personal injury claims and wrongful death accidents are climbing each year. Truck accidents, including straight, flat bed, dump, wrecker and tractor trailer trucks, accounted for a shocking 10,000 accidents. The Richmond DMV district alone saw over 31,000 traffic accidents and nearly 300 deaths, many of them on I-95 and I-64.
There are many ways that traffic accidents can happen, and they aren’t the obvious things that some people think of like driving under the influence (DUI), speeding, or reckless driving. With all of the gadgets available for in-car use, distracted drivers are a major problem on Virginia roads, as are impatient, careless drivers and young, inexperienced drivers. Reliable surveys have found that about 75% of all traffic accidents are caused by drivers who follow too closely, fail to yield the right of way, ignore traffic control signals, pass improperly, and more.
Head-on and rear-end collisions can result in broken bones, disfigurement, serious neck and back injuries, and even death. Regardless of how you’ve been injured in a traffic accident, if the accident was serious then you are probably considering legal representation. It is in your best interest to find an attorney with whom you are comfortable as soon as possible, so you don’t make any classic mistakes when dealing with the other driver or the insurance company that might derail your case.

Isn't it mandatory in Virginia that all drivers carry auto insurance?
Isn't alcohol the primary cause of most auto accidents, especially on interstates such as I-95 and I-64?
I was driving my employer's truck out of the company parking lot when a co-worker in another company vehicle suddenly pulled out in front of me. To avoid a collision, I swerved hard and lost control, and crashed the truck into a concrete pylon. It's been several weeks and my back and neck are still killing me. My buddy says since I was injured on the job, I cannot sue the company, but this doesn't seem fair. The Worker's Comp benefits are not very much. Is what my friend told me correct?
