Car Accident Attorneys

We Won’t Stop Until You Receive the Retribution You Deserve

Life-altering car accidents can occur in seconds. Unfortunately, recovering from the emotional and physical trauma, such as a brain injury, caused by a negligent driver is a much slower process. Some car accident victims never truly recover.

At Breit Biniazan, we understand that no amount of money can change the past or justify your injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. However, our car accident lawyers can recover compensation for you to help rebuild your life.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Automobile accidents have different causes, from speeding to distracted driving. That’s why at Breit Biniazan, we give every car accident lawsuit our undivided attention. Our individualized approach helps us secure high-dollar settlements for clients affected by reckless drivers.

Our auto accident law firm has also represented clients in many types of car accident cases, including:

Most car accidents happen because of another driver’s negligence. It’s our firm’s duty to hold these careless motorists responsible through legal action.

Determining Fault in Car Accidents

As a car accident victim, it’s important to know that Virginia is a “fault state.” That means if the driver is responsible for the collision, they’re also responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, and other consequences of the crash. 

Victims of auto accidents should also be aware of Virginia’s contributory negligence rule. Under this rule, the injured party cannot claim any financial compensation if they played a role in the crash. This statute does not apply if individuals have Medical Payments coverage in their insurance policy.

Types of Compensation in a Car Accident Claim

Moving on after a car accident can be difficult. Your injuries may demand expensive medical treatments while also compromising your ability to make an income. Though a financial settlement won’t make up for the physical and emotional trauma you have endured, it can allow your family to move forward.  

If you were injured in a car accident, you could be entitled to compensation for:

  • Emergency medical care
  • Rehabilitation therapy
  • Ongoing medical treatment
  • Lost income and wages
  • Lost earning capability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Counseling services
  • Property damage

If you lost a loved one because of a car accident, you might be able to recover compensation for:

  • Medical costs
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of inheritance
  • Loss of companionship
  • Funeral and burial expenses

Car Accident Statute of Limitations

Generally, the statute of limitations for car accidents in Virginia is two years from the date of injury.

Car Accident Lawsuit FAQs

I was involved in an accident with an uninsured driver. What should I do?

Virginia drivers are required to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). UM coverage pays for personal injury and property damages caused by an uninsured or unidentified (hit-and-run) motorist. UIM covers personal injury and property damages if the expenses exceed the at-fault driver’s policy limits. Since navigating these complexities can be difficult without an expert auto accident lawyer by your side, don’t hesitate to contact Breit Biniazan today.

Can I work directly with the car insurance company?

Yes, you can deal directly with the car insurance company. However, you must remember that car insurance companies are profit-oriented. They may try to deny negligence or coerce you into accepting a meager settlement. To walk away with the compensation you deserve, you need a relentless car accident attorney to handle your case.

Can I sue for damages if the collision was partially my fault?

According to Virginia’s contributory negligence rule, drivers who are partially at fault cannot pursue compensation for damages. Insurance companies love to manipulate this loophole by shifting blame onto the injured driver. That’s why you must work with an auto accident attorney. These legal professionals can provide expert guidance so that you receive the compensation you deserve.

What should I do after a car accident?

Immediately call the police and remain on the scene until they arrive. Check to see if you or other parties are injured. If someone is injured, don’t move them unless their car is on fire. If you’re able to do so, exchange information with other parties and witnesses. Take photos of the scene and notes, writing down anything the at-fault party says. When you return home, write down a description of the accident and then call an attorney.

Who is responsible for Lyft and Uber Accidents?

Every situation is different, which is why it’s critical that you contact an Uber and Lyft accident attorney. But generally, if the rideshare app is off and the driver causes harm, the driver is liable. If the driver is picking up a customer or has a customer in the car, Uber or Lyft may be liable. If the driver is waiting on a customer and the rideshare app is on, the rideshare company offers a limited amount of coverage.

I was a passenger in an accident. What are my options?

If a rideshare passenger is injured during a collision, damages will be paid by the liable party’s insurer. If the Uber or Lyft driver caused the collision, the rideshare company’s insurance will be responsible. But if another driver caused the collision, their personal insurance will pay damages. To determine the best path forward, contact an Uber and Lyft accident lawyer today.
