Proving Fault
One of the most critical elements to proving your case after a Virginia Beach motorcycle crash is finding fault. Unlike most other states, Virginia adheres to a strict theory of fault known as contributory negligence. Effectively, the law makes it impossible for anyone who is partially responsible for their injury to recover any money at all.
True fault is not based solely on the determination by police at the scene. The insurance company will look at how you may have prevented your own injuries if you had acted in a more safe manor or been wearing better protective gear. Their efforts can have you playing defense when you should be focusing on recovering. Our experts know all their games, so we build a solid case
