Car Accidents in Virginia
In Virginia, thousands of people suffer injuries in motor vehicle crashes each year. Data from recent reports shows that intersections remain a hot spot for these incidents. Many of these crashes result in significant injuries that can impact a victim’s quality of life. Recovering from these incidents often takes time, support, and legal help.
Let’s take a closer look at a few common causes of accidents across the state:
- Speeding: Driving over the posted limit reduces a driver’s ability to respond quickly. Speeding increases both the likelihood of a crash and the severity of injuries. In urban zones like Richmond, where intersections are frequent, excessive speed can be especially dangerous.
- Distracted Driving: From texting to adjusting the radio, distractions behind the wheel are a major cause of crashes. Even a moment’s inattention can lead to rear-end collisions, T-bones, or pedestrian accidents.
- Failing to Yield: Not yielding to other drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians at marked intersections leads to countless preventable crashes each year. Intersections like Broad Rock Boulevard often see these mistakes due to heavy traffic and confusing lane changes.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time. DUIs continue to be a leading cause of serious accidents throughout Virginia, with weekend and evening hours being especially risky.
- Running Red Lights: Running a red light puts every road user at risk. These violations often result in side-impact collisions, which are among the most dangerous types of crashes due to limited protection on the side of vehicles.
