WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A VIRGINIA BEACH CAR ACCIDENT
Soon after a wreck, the at-fault driver’s insurance will most likely contact you. The adjuster will sound genuinely concerned about your well-being, and may even try to offer you a small settlement. However, they do this to protect their bottom line – not your best interests, and If you agree to the initial offer from the insurer, you cannot renegotiate later for more money.
It is critical to understand your claim’s total value before negotiating a settlement. That is where an experienced Rutter Mills Virginia Beach car accident lawyer can make an impact on your financial future.
JANUARY 1, 2025:
Regulations enacted in 2021 are now helping Virginia Beach drivers get the money they need after an accident. As of the first of the year, drivers in Virginia Beach are required to have a minimum of $50,000 of liability insurance. This raises policy minimums and eliminated the option to drive without car insurance by paying a fee to the DMV. Now uninsured drivers face stiff penalties if they are caught driving without insurance. The increase will help combat the rising financial burden who are involved in car accidents.
Trusted Legal Guidance
The insurance company representing the at-fault driver in your accident will likely contest who was at fault for your injuries. For example, they may argue you were partially to blame for the accident, and, because Virginia is a contributory negligence state, their claims could cause you to lose the opportunity of recovering damages. It must be 100% the fault of the other driver or your claim will be denied.
We will present overwhelming evidence to counter claims made by the opposing side and establish a solid case to obtain the best possible outcome for you and your family. Call Rutter Mills to receive a free consultation from one of our expert Virginia Beach car accident lawyers to safeguard your right to get compensation for your injuries.
There is a potential for emotional trauma, bodily injury, or property damage anytime you are involved in an auto accident. In a perfect world, the at-fault driver would have sufficient insurance coverage, and you would only need to file a claim with the insurance company, who would reimburse you for all of your costs. However, the claims process is usually very complicated, and having a knowledgeable attorney on your side can significantly impact the amount of compensation you receive and the speed of your case’s resolution.
In order to build a strong case and boost your chances of winning, you and your Virginia Beach car accident lawyer will be required to establish:
Since every lawsuit differs, you may be unable to receive an estimate of your claim’s worth until a Virginia Beach car accident attorney analyzes the evidence. Despite this, there are damages you may be able to recover in your case, including:
If your family member or spouse did not survive the accident, we offer our sincerest condolences. The loss of a loved is always painful. Our attorneys will work tirelessly for you to ensure justice is served for you, your family, and loved one.
Your Virginia Beach car accident lawyer will do everything we can to work with the insurance company and secure a settlement that covers your damages. However, many insurance companies will refuse settlement negotiations and instead opt to hear the case before a judge. If this occurs, our experienced trial lawyers are prepared to fight for your interests in court, and we will be with you every step of the way.
Not every lawyer can and will take your case to trial, but we know sometimes there is no other option. In February 2022, a large insurance company refused to entertain any settlement offers. Unwilling to backdown, our car accident lawyer Georgina Montgomery, received a $650,000 verdict for our client after just 20 minutes. That is the kind of difference a skilled trial lawyer can make in your case.
A Rutter Mills case is a serious case. It may mean you have been badly injured, and we know you have a lot on the line. Our Virginia Beach car accident attorneys will explore every course to help you and your family move forward with confidence.

5/10/2024 – Virginia Beach recently added stationary license plate reader cameras at intersections across the city. Police chief, Paul Neudigate, explains these cameras are meant to allow police to collect data on every car’s destination that passes by without needing a warrant. The footage obtained by these cameras is only used for criminal investigations and if not identified as part of evidence, it is deleted after 30 days. Currently, there are almost 20 already in use and there will be 25 installed across Virginia Beach in total.
While we are not sure if the footage will be available for our use, it has already helped Virginia Beach police solve 24 crimes in just a six-week span. Hopefully in the future, we will be able to use this information in court to strengthen your case.
