Auto Accident Attorneys in Fairfax, Manassas, Centreville and Front Royal, VA
Experienced lawyers assist victims of car wrecks
Busy highways such as Interstate 66, the Fairfax County Parkway and the Capital Beltway are known for heavy traffic and frequent accidents. However, you can be seriously hurt in a crash even while pulling out of your driveway. No matter where your vehicle collision occurs, if you’ve been hurt, you need to find a skilled lawyer to protect your interests right away. Insurance companies have massive resources dedicated to denying worthy injury claims, so you deserve a tough Virginia lawyer who’ll fight back even harder. At Pikrallidas & Probasco, we are highly regarded auto accident attorneys serving clients in northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. From our offices in Fairfax and Manassas, we have won substantial verdicts and settlements for people hurt in car crashes since 1992.
Common causes of auto accidents
Our personal injury lawyers will perform a comprehensive investigation into your accident to determine its true cause. We access our network of medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists and safety engineers to lend credence to your case. Every detail matters and it is often a detail that can shift the odds in your favor. We handle a full range of vehicle collision claims, including those caused by:
- Impairment from alcohol or drugs — Alcohol and drug impairment is responsible for approximately one-third of all fatal car crashes. Even if the at-fault motorist was not arrested at the scene, their reactions might have been compromised. We go beyond the police report to learn what the defendant was doing before they got behind the wheel.
- Speeding and other traffic violations — The faster someone drives, the more likely they are to get in an accident that results in one or more catastrophic injuries. Laws against speeding, unsafe lane changes, reckless driving and other improper driving behaviors exist to prevent collisions. When one of our clients is injured because a motorist broke the law, we work to hold that motorist accountable.
- Distracted driving — With the traffic in this area, you shouldn’t take your focus off of the road for a split-second. Unfortunately, many people do this to check their phone, grab a bite to eat or look at something out their window. Distracted driving has led to an increase in avoidable auto accidents, and our firm is determined to gain a measure of justice for people who were hurt because a motorist was paying attention to something besides the road.
- Driver fatigue — Someone who is driving while drowsy is susceptible to many of the same dangerous behaviors as an intoxicated motorist. Of course, proving that someone was affected by fatigue is a little more complicated than getting a breathalyzer result. If you suspect that the person who caused your crash was too tired to operate a vehicle safely, we will conduct a thorough investigation.
Facing off against an auto insurance company is no easy task, and the systems for handling claims differ greatly depending on whether you’re in Virginia or Washington, D.C. What remains the same is that the insurance carrier will do everything possible to minimize the payment you receive for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Don’t talk to them until you have a strong attorney on your side safeguarding your interests.
