Two Main Routes, Heavy Traffic

Most drivers enter and leave Poquoson on Victory Boulevard (Route 171) or Wythe Creek Road (Route 172). Commuters, school buses, delivery trucks, and service vehicles all rely on these roads. During rush hour, backups and sudden stops can lead to rear-end crashes. Flooding during storms can also create dangerous conditions.

After a Crash

• Call 911 and request a police report.
• Seek medical attention.
• Take photos of the vehicles, road, and any standing water.
• Get witness contact information.
• Let your attorney deal with the other driver’s insurer.

Weather and Fault

Virginia drivers must adjust to road conditions. If another driver went too fast through water, followed too closely in the rain, or failed to stop in time, that driver may be responsible. Insurers may also argue that you should have done more to avoid the crash.

Contributory Negligence

Under Virginia law, an injured person found even slightly at fault may be barred from recovery.

Compensation

• Medical bills
• Lost wages, including self-employment income
• Pain and suffering
• Vehicle damage
• Wrongful death damages

Filing Deadline

Most Virginia injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under Virginia Code § 8.01-243.

Rear-End Crashes on Victory Boulevard

Stop-and-go traffic on Victory Boulevard can lead to rear-end crashes. Even at low speeds, these collisions can cause neck and back injuries. Insurers may argue that the impact was too small to cause harm. We use medical records and other evidence to show how the crash affected you.

Repairs and Rental Vehicles

After a crash, you may need help with repairs, a rental car, or a total-loss claim. We can help you deal with the property damage claim while we work on your injury claim.
