Experienced Auto Accident Attorney in Mechanicsville, Virginia
At Wind Law, LLC, our Mechanicsville auto accident lawyer understands the challenges crash victims face after a collision causes injuries – or the loss of life. In reality, no one expects to leave their home, work, or a night out with friends and have their lives changed in a traffic collision. Unfortunately, it happens too often in Virginia.
According to the latest Virginia Traffic Crash Statistics, last year alone, there were 122,434 traffic collisions throughout the state – 3.3 times the number of residents who live in Mechanicsville.
Those crashes resulted in nearly 60,000 injuries and over 1,000 fatalities. Closer to home, in Hanover County, 1,852 car accidents led to 764 injuries and 19 deaths. Still too many.
Our law firm founder and managing partner, Ryan E. Wind, was born and raised in rural Tappahannock, Virginia and understands how these crashes impact our clients’ daily activities and overall quality of life.
Ryan is committed to producing real results in our communities, from our rural areas to the inner cities, providing compassionate, dedicated, and influential partnerships with real people who need our help. We can help produce the same meaningful results for you and your family, starting with a free consultation today.
How Can I Prove Negligence Caused My Mechanicsville, VA Car Accident & Injuries?
According to the Virginia Traffic Crash Stats, there is one crash every 4.3 minutes per day throughout the state, leading to 163 persons injured and 2.8 lives lost daily.
When Virginia residents are injured because of another motorist’s negligence — which could include impaired driving, speeding, driving distracted, or failing to obey traffic signs and signals — they have the right to claim compensation under our state’s personal injury laws.
This is why we are here. At Wind Law, LLC, our Mechanicsville car accident attorney knows it is challenging for an injured person or grieving family members to pursue the liable party’s insurance company independently. That is precisely how the insurance company wants it.
We help our fellow Virginians overcome the obstacles the insurance companies put in place, starting with preserving the evidence necessary to pursue a successful claim.
That requires our auto accident lawyer in Hanover County to:
- Establish Duty of Care
The first step in proving negligence was a factor in your car crash is to show that the other party owed you a duty of care to operate their vehicle safely and responsibly. This duty is generally assumed in driving situations.
- Show Breach of Duty
Next, we must demonstrate how the other party breached their duty of care. This could include actions like speeding, distracted driving, drunk driving, failing to yield, or running a red light.
- Prove Causation
Third, we will establish a direct link between the other party’s breach of duty and the accident that caused your injuries. This may involve demonstrating that the accident would not have occurred without the other party’s negligence. Simply put, if the other driver had not run a red light (or exhibited another form of negligence behind the wheel), they would not have crashed into you, causing your injuries.
- Document Damages
Finally, we must provide evidence of the damages you suffered from the accident, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
With 15 years of experience, our highly skilled Mechanicsville auto accident attorney will begin building your case when you contact our office by thoroughly investigating the crash that caused your injuries or the loss of your loved one and building your case around the facts and resources available to accurately outline your complete financial recovery needs.
