Busy Corridors in York County
Route 17 carries heavy traffic through the center of the county and over the Coleman Bridge to Gloucester. Route 134 connects to Hampton and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, while Route 199 and Interstate 64 serve the upper county near Williamsburg. Shopping-center entrances, school traffic, and visitors to historic sites can all increase the risk of crashes.
Crashes With Government Vehicles
York County has several military and federal facilities, and some crashes involve government vehicles. Those claims can have special notice requirements and shorter deadlines. If you think a government vehicle may have been involved, speak with an attorney right away.
What to Do After a Crash
- Call 911 and request a police report.
- Get medical care quickly.
- Take photos and save any dash camera video.
- Collect witness information.
- Avoid posting about the crash on social media.
Virginia’s Contributory Negligence Rule
If you are found even slightly at fault, Virginia law may bar you from recovering. That is why the early investigation is so important.
Our approach: We gather evidence early and respond to unfair attempts to shift blame.
Compensation
- Medical bills and future care
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages
Filing Deadline
Most Virginia injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under Virginia Code § 8.01-243.
Visitors to Yorktown
Drivers who are unfamiliar with the area may brake suddenly, turn unexpectedly, or miss signs. If you were hit by a visitor, the insurer may be based out of state. We handle those communications and keep your claim moving.
Commuters on Route 134
Route 134 carries commuters to Hampton and Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Heavy traffic and frequent intersections can lead to rear-end and turning crashes. We investigate the evidence to show who caused your crash.
