Local Accident Risks
Bridges, steep streets, and connector roads can lead to crashes when drivers speed, follow too closely, or fail to yield. Ice and snow on hills make stopping harder. Students crossing busy roads at night are especially vulnerable.
Injuries on Steep Streets and Sidewalks
Falls on icy sidewalks, broken steps, and uneven pavement can cause fractures and head injuries. When a property owner fails to address a known hazard, they may be responsible. Photograph the hazard and report the fall in writing.
Our Approach to Your Claim
We investigate, collect medical and income records, and handle the insurance companies. Virginia’s contributory negligence rule can bar recovery for even slight fault, so we are careful about every statement. Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years.
Winter Weather and Crashes
Snow and ice on Radford’s hills and bridges make stopping and turning more difficult. Drivers must slow down and adjust to conditions. When a driver fails to do so and causes a crash, bad weather does not excuse that choice.
Injuries We Often See
- Neck and back injuries
- Fractures from falls on ice
- Concussions
- Injuries to pedestrians
What You May Recover
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage. If a loved one was killed, family members may have a wrongful death claim.
