Car Accidents

A small car ran off the road for unknown reasons and ran into a dump truck parked at a construciton site in Roseburg, OR on August 8th, 2013In Virginia, over 65,000 people are injured in car accidents every year. These injuries create physical discomfort, emotional distress and financial turbulence for victims and their loved ones.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage and pain and suffering. The circumstances surrounding car accidents are often complex, but generally fall within one of the two categories below:

Multi-Car Accidents:

Accidents involving multiple vehicles are particularly susceptible to confusion, finger-pointing, and blame-shifting. The stress of an accident is only compounded by accompanying traffic jams and large-scale emergency responder involvement.

In the wake of multi-car accidents, insurance companies often cannot be bothered to sort out the details necessary for obtaining full compensation for victims of these accidents. The attorneys at ReidGoodwin will ensure a thorough investigation of the accident and a full accounting of all losses, including medical costs, loss of income, and pain and suffering for those injured in multi-car accidents.

Single-Car Accidents:

Accidents involving only one car are normally assumed to be the fault of the driver. However, it is possible that the cause of the accident was not the fault of the driver; rather, a defective car part, poorly maintained roadways, the negligent driving of a vehicle that did not result in collision, or even a deer darting across the Interstate are all potential causes of an accident.

At ReidGoodwin, we are not content to rely on assumptions – our attorneys are prepared to investigate all possible causes for the wreck in order to ensure justice for car accident victims.
