Virginia Distracted Driving Accident Attorney

Experienced Bilingual Representation in Alexandria

Distracted driving has reached epidemic levels on our nation’s roads and highways, especially as technology continues infiltrating more parts of our lives. Even new car technology that aims to reduce driver distraction can prove the opposite and create more problems than it solves. The unfortunate result is that distracted drivers aren’t giving their full, undivided cognitive, manual, and visual attention to the task of driving, putting them at serious risk of causing a car accident that injures or kills innocent motorists or pedestrians.

With over 75 years of experience handling even the most severe auto accident cases, we know what it takes to maximize the value of car accident claims and how to handle insurance companies whose goal is to pay as little money as possible. Our bilingual attorneys are available 24/7 to answer your call, so do not hesitate to call us today.

If you or a loved one has been hurt due to a distracted driver, acting quickly is essential. Call The Barrera Law Firm, PLLC today at (571) 290-2390 or contact us online to meet with our distracted driving accident lawyers in Virignia!

Common Types of Driver Distractions That Lead to Accidents

Driver distractions come in many forms and can quickly take a motorist's attention off the road, often leading to severe accidents. Some of the most common distractions that contribute to crashes include:

  • Texting
  • Talking on a cell phone
  • Browsing social media
  • Looking at GPS maps
  • Eating
  • Grooming
  • Listening to music through headphones
  • Reaching for fallen objects

Recoverable Damages in a Distracted Driving Accident Claim

If you've been injured in an accident due to another driver’s distraction, you may be entitled to compensation to help cover your physical, financial, and emotional losses. Distracted driving accident claims can include recovery for various damages that address immediate and long-term needs.

Here are some of the damages that may be covered:

  • Medical Costs: This includes emergency room visits, surgeries, ongoing treatments, medications, and any future medical care needed due to the accident.
  • Lost Income: If your injuries caused you to miss work, you can pursue compensation for the income lost during this time.
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: For injuries that impact your ability to work in the future, you may be eligible to recover damages for reduced earning potential.
  • Vehicle and Property Damage: You may be covered for any damage to your vehicle or other personal belongings involved in the accident.
  • Pain and Suffering: Payment for the physical and emotional pain caused by the accident, which may include mental anguish, anxiety, or other lasting impacts on your quality of life.

A knowledgeable attorney can help ensure a detailed investigation of the accident, establish liability, and pursue the compensation you deserve for these damages.

The Time Limit for Distracted Driving Accident Claims in Virginia

In Virginia, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a distracted driving claim. Failing to meet this two-year deadline could mean losing the ability to seek compensation. Acting quickly helps ensure you meet this legal deadline and allows your attorney to gather valuable evidence, speak with witnesses, and build a strong case. Reaching out to an attorney early after the accident can safeguard your rights and improve the likelihood of a positive outcome.
