What to Do After a Car Accident in Virginia – Protecting Your Legal Rights

Taking the right steps after a crash can protect you from unfair liability claims. If you've been in an accident:

• Seek medical attention if needed and call the police.
• Exchange information with the other driver, but do not apologize or admit fault.
• Take photos of the scene, all vehicles, road conditions, and any damage.
• Document witness contact information.
• Never give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before talking to a lawyer.
• Avoid discussing the accident on social media.

Even if you think the accident was minor or partially your fault, Virginia's strict contributory negligence law means anything you say can be used against you. Contact a car accident defense lawyer immediately to protect your rights and understand your legal exposure.
