Injury Cases in Richmond: What Makes Them Different?

Richmond presents a different accident environment from many of the surrounding suburban communities. As Virginia’s capital and a major transportation hub, the city combines interstate traffic, busy urban streets, pedestrians, cyclists, commercial vehicles, commuters, and visitors within a relatively compact area.

I-95 and I-64 carry substantial traffic directly through Richmond, while the Downtown Expressway, Powhite Parkway, Broad Street, Belvidere Street, Hull Street, and other major roads bring additional commuter and local traffic into the city. Accidents on these roads can involve high speeds, multiple vehicles, commercial traffic, changing lanes, and disputes over how a collision occurred.

Richmond’s more densely developed neighborhoods also create different risks. Pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, intersections, businesses, apartment buildings, and other properties can all become factors in personal injury claims.

Virginia also follows the rule of contributory negligence. If an insurance company can establish that an injured person was legally negligent and that negligence contributed to the accident, even slightly, it may prevent recovery. For that reason, careful investigation of how an accident occurred can be particularly important when liability is disputed.

Personal injury lawsuits arising in the City of Richmond may be filed in the Richmond Circuit Court or Richmond General District Court, depending on the circumstances of the case. Cases involving accidents outside the city may proceed in the appropriate court for that jurisdiction.

At Burnett & Williams, we investigate the specific circumstances surrounding each accident, identify available insurance coverage, gather evidence, document our client’s injuries and financial losses, and deal directly with insurance companies throughout the claim.
