Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Virginia
Alexandria Truck Accident Attorneys Who Care For Your Wellbeing – (571) 290-2390
Drivers who are struck by commercial vehicles are often hit by a motor vehicle that greatly exceeds their own car in terms of both weight and size. The result can be absolutely devastating, causing extensive injuries and destruction.
People hit by a commercial vehicle, such as a big rig, may suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Amputations
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Wrongful death
Any of the aforementioned consequences of a commercial vehicle accident can lead to significant medical bills, rehabilitation fees, lost wages, and much more.

Proving Liability in a Commercial Vehicle Accident
Virginia’s pure contributory negligence law makes it difficult to recover damages from liable parties, as you lose the right to file a claim as soon as you become even 1% liable for a crash. Companies that send commercial vehicles onto the highways are well aware of this tilted scale and will try to use it to their advantage by arguing you did something wrong that led to your own commercial vehicle accident. Our law firm always steps into the courtroom ready to swing and challenge any strategy used by the opposition.
To help prove you were not at all liable for your accident, we can consider:
- Commercial vehicle driver’s accident record
- Safety record of company that owned commercial vehicle
- Electronic onboard recorder data (in trucking accidents)
- Police statements if commercial driver is arrested
