Every year, hundreds of pedestrians are struck by vehicles on Virginia roads, resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. These accidents often leave victims and their families facing overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation costs.
Pedestrian accidents in Virginia most commonly occur in urban areas like Arlington, Alexandria, and Richmond, particularly at intersections and in shopping districts. Contributing factors typically include:
Virginia law provides specific protections for pedestrians. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian on the roadway. However, Virginia also follows the “contributory negligence” rule, which can significantly impact your case.
If you or a loved one has been injured as a pedestrian:
Virginia’s contributory negligence law means that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This makes professional legal representation crucial to protect your rights.
