Local Litigators Advocating for Accident Victims in Centreville

Due to the amount of traffic throughout the Centreville area, auto accidents are a common occurrence in this region. Many of these accidents are caused by the negligence of other drivers, and the accident victims need the assistance of experienced personal injury attorneys to help them recover the compensation they are entitled.

Common causes of automobile accidents in Centreville include:

  • Dangerous driving conditions (rain, snow, or fog)
  • Speeding, aggressive, or reckless driving
  • Out-of-town drivers not familiar with traffic patterns
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Driver fatigue
  • Distracted driving (texting or talking on a cell phone)
  • Hazardous road conditions (uneven pavement, gravel roads, pot holes, faded lane markings)

Some of the worst accidents on the road involved tractor trailers and other large trucks. The size and power of the trucks make them very dangerous while driving on the road. Truck drivers have limited visibility when driving and can easily lose control of the truck in hazardous weather conditions (i.e. snow, ice, wind, rain, and fog).

Devastating truck accidents in Centreville are often the result of fatigued drivers who are pressed for time in transporting their cargo. Other causes of trucking accidents include:

  • Truck driver DUI and drug use
  • Inattentive driving
  • Speeding
  • Inadequate surveillance
  • Illegal maneuvers
  • Distracted driving
  • Failure to regularly maintenance the truck

Our Centreville attorneys, with the help of other experts such as reconstructionists, thoroughly investigate these accidents. Part of this process is using technology such as speed regulators and "black boxes" to determine the cause of the accident and assign liability. Black boxes record several key measurements of data that can be used to assist in determining how the truck accident occurred. Sometimes, trucks drivers will try and lie about the accident, but the black boxes can be used to disprove their statements.

To ensure that black box information is retained and not destroyed, our attorneys must notify the defendants quickly to put them on notice of a lawsuit. Thus, if evidence is destroyed after this point, it is very unfavorable for the truck driver and the truck company.

Centreville Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Injuries that occur while on the job can result in workers' compensation awards for the victim. While there is always a risk of an injury while at work, there are some jobs that are more dangerous and have an increased risk of injury than others. When you are in an accident at work in Centreville, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits whether you, another employee, or your employer is at fault.

In Virginia, workers' compensation is an injured worker's exclusive remedy. After a work accident, you only have 30 days to inform your employer of your injury and 2 years in which to file a claim. It is important to file a workers' compensation claim as soon as possible after the accident in order to ensure a fair recovery. This also applies to the injured worker's family and representatives if the worker's injuries result in death.

In addition, experienced attorneys also know that in cases involving a third party, separate claims for personal injury may be filed to compensate the worker for pain and suffering. Workers' compensation only provides benefits to the injured worker for the disability and medical treatment expenses, which can sometimes be low. In actions involving a third-party tortfeasor, the compensation carrier may have a lien for expenses paid. The lien can be reduced, and more than adequate compensation can be recovered from the third party. Our Centreville lawyers can discuss your options with you to maximize your recovery.
