Auto Accidents Are Far Too Common in Virginia

According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, over 129,000 traffic crashes were reported statewide in 2024, resulting in more than 64,000 injuries and over 900 deaths. In Norfolk alone, thousands of collisions are reported yearly, many occurring on high-traffic roads like I-264, Military Highway, and Virginia Beach Boulevard.

These numbers reflect more than just statistics; they represent real people whose lives have been disrupted or permanently changed.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

While every crash is unique, some causes appear repeatedly in car accident claims:

Distracted driving, including texting or using a phone behind the wheel
Speeding or aggressive driving
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Failure to yield or follow traffic signals
Reckless or negligent driving, especially in poor weather or low visibility
Driver fatigue or inexperience

In many cases, the other driver’s negligence is the direct cause of the crash. Yet insurance companies will often attempt to shift blame or minimize your injuries to avoid paying a fair settlement.

How the Claims Process Works

After a car accident, you may file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company or through your own insurer, depending on the circumstances. This process typically involves submitting medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and proof of property damage.

However, insurance adjusters are trained to protect their company’s bottom line, not your best interests. To overcome this, Agnew Todd Injury Law PLLC can handle every part of the process to balance the scales.

We can gather evidence and properly value your claim to negotiate with insurers and, if necessary, take your case to court. We pursue full and fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your accident.

Why You Need a Lawyer You Can Trust

Car accident cases are often more complicated than they seem. The insurance company may pressure you into accepting a lowball offer, delay processing your claim, or dispute who was at fault. Without experienced legal guidance, you risk walking away with far less than you need or even nothing.

Our team understands the importance of having someone who truly represents your interests and your community. We treat every client with respect and fight with purpose. Our mission is not just about winning cases. It is about making your voice heard, protecting your rights, and handling your case with the care, effort, and professionalism you deserve.
