Auto Accidents in Virginia
Head-on collisions in Virginia often lead to catastrophic outcomes, including serious injuries or fatalities. Victims and their families may face overwhelming financial burdens, emotional distress, and long-term medical recovery.
Common causes of auto accidents in Virginia and fatal crashes include:
- Distracted driving – Using a phone or looking away from the road for even a moment can cause devastating consequences.
- Speeding or reckless driving – Excessive speed reduces stopping distance and magnifies impact severity.
- Driver fatigue – Drowsy drivers often fail to react in time to prevent collisions.
