A vehicle accident is a very common occurrence which can completely disrupt your life. Accident victims or their loved ones experience:
Car accident lawsuits are the most common form of tort claim. These claims involve some careless or reckless act by one person resulting in a crash with another car or person on foot. Whether the use of a motor vehicle involves actual fault depends upon the driver’s conduct and whether that conduct complies with the Rules of the Road. The Rules of the Road are set forth either in the Virginia State Code or the local Code that controls traffic.
The Rules of the Road or traffic rules set the standards for use of cars and trucks. A breach of these rules is negligence.
If you are thinking about making a claim based on a defect with your car you need to make sure that the car itself is preserved and is not repaired prior to hiring counsel. Thorough pictures must be taken of the car and of the scene of the crash.
In Fairfax County, Virginia if there is a serious car crash, then the police will prepare a written report. The police may not only do a traffic accident report but they may also do a more detailed crash report in cases of serious personal injury. If, in fact, that second report has been done, then you may have to issue a subpoena to obtain that report.
In addition, the police will take thorough photos of the crash scene if the crash was a major one.
Whether your crash involves an auto, bike, truck, motorcycle or pedestrian the key to a good outcome is prompt and thorough investigation. If that is not done then your proof may be lost or altered.
