On November 16, 2020 a young women was killed in a pedestrian vs. motor vehicle collision. My heart goes out to the family of the deceased young lady a Ms. Jennifer Marsh. Jennifer was 26 years old at the time of the accident. She was from Altavista, Virginia. Altavista is just south of Lynchburg, Virginia.

The investigators assert that Jennifer was a pedestrian in the left lane of the southbound side of Route 29 when she was hit by a motor vehicle. The vehicle was unable to avoid hitting her. Currently, the driver is not facing any charges and was not hurt. The police responded to the scene of the accident around 1:17 a.m. The crash occurred just south of the Route 460 off ramp. A Ford Crown Victoria was the type of vehicle that struck Jennifer. Route 29/Wards Road is a high traffic area. This article is about the communities response to the death of the young women and why Lynchburg, VA is such a great place.

I Take car accident clients and help them get compensation for their insurance claims. Most of the time when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle their will be an insurance claim applicable. I represented one women that was struck while she was on the sidewalk and a vehicle was leaving a store parking lot. The vehicle was entirely at fault for the accident and their insurance company was forced to pay my client a settlement. When a vehicle strikes a person it can cause significant personal injury or death. Most cars weigh several thousand pounds and when that hits a person the damage can be devastating. Quite often, the injured party will need to immediately go to the hospital.

If you have been injured in a car accident or have a family member killed in a motor vehicle accident I highly suggest you call me for a free consultation (434) 660-9701. I am a car accident lawyer and help people obtain compensation from insurance companies for their claims. It is statistically more likely that a person with an insurance claim will get more compensation after retaining a lawyer then a person that does not.

Unfortunately, there has been a fatality in the nations capital due to a bus collision with a car. The Metro bus accident occurred after sunset authorities said. There was a 24 four year old that was killed as a result of the accident. The traffic accident happened at the intersection of Minnesota Ave. NE and Benning Road NE around midnight. The local authorities closed the intersection during an investigation into the fatal accident.

The initial investigation found that the bus was headed eastbound on Benning Road, NE. As the bus was making a left turn onto Minnesota Avenue, NE, a Nissan Altima traveling in the opposite direction, westbound, swerved into the left lane and struck the bus head-on. The driver of the Nissan later died at the hospital. Several passengers in the bus and passenger car were also taken to the hospital.

This is a most unfortunate event for all of those involved and certainly the family of the driver of the Nissan. When an accident like this occurs there are usually several types of insurance claims that can arise. As a general matter passengers in the car and the bus will have an insurance claim against whomevers vehicle insurance they were riding in, depending on the facts and circumstances. Also, based on what the investigation reveals the deceased drivers family may or may not have a wrongful death claim against the bus insurance. I represent clients as a car accident lawyer. I have secured numerous car accident settlements for clients. I have represented clients in bus accidents and have secured policy limits settlements for passenger clients in accidents. If you or a family member has been injured or killed in a bus accident you should not hesitate to call me for a free consultation.

On February 14, 2021 twenty three year old Hannah Carpenter was killed by a drunk driver. The car accident happened in Charleston, South Carolina. Our sincerest condolences to young Hannah’s family. I pursue compensation for persons injured in car accidents or family members of a wrongful death victim.

The fatal accident occurred when a twenty two year old man driving a vehicle while allegedly intoxicated impacted Hannah. She was a pedestrian at the time of the incident. A vehicle versus pedestrian accident is a special kind of case requiring its own individual analysis. At The Law Offices of Christopher G. White, P.A. I take every accident case very seriously and pursue maximum compensation for clients. Young Hannah’s immediate family most likely has a valid insurance claim for compensation against Anthony Troiani.

According to the authorities, a silver Buick Lucerne was traveling northbound on King Street when it struck Hannah. Hannah was taken to Medical University of South Carolina where she later died. The driver, Troiani was a senior at the Citadel military college and was charged with felony DUI.

I am an experienced drunk and drugged driving accident attorney. There is a different set of circumstances and factors that come into play when an individual is struck by an impaired driver. For example, quite often you will want your attorney to obtain the police records for the case. This becomes important later when it is time settle the case with the insurance company. Quite often punitive damages are applicable. I have represented numerous clients that have been hit by an impaired driver and have secured substantial compensation for my clients. If you have been injured or a family member killed by an impaired driver, I can provide you a free consultation to see if you are entitled to maximum compensation. T

A “Hit and Run” accident is typically an accident that is caused by a person that immediately leaves the scene after having caused the accident. I have represented several clients for hit and run accidents and have secured policy limits settlements for clients as a car accident lawyer. Hit and Run cases have been steadily increasing in prevalence over the past decade.

A man was charged with a hit and run in Campbell County, Virginia. The accident occurred on January 23, 2021. Unfortunately, the accident killed one individual involved. Virginia State Police reported that an overturned vehicle was involved. When a vehicle flips or is overturned, the likelihood of injury or death increases substantially.

The motor vehicle collision occurred on Route 29 before 9p.m. approximately one mile south of Route 699. This is a highly trafficked area in the locality. There were two cars involved. One was a Toyota Camry. The other vehicle was a Kia Sorento. The Kia Sorento was traveling in the right lane and sideswiped the Toyota Camry. Both vehicles were moving down the road in the southbound direction.

The local authorities stated the impact of the crash caused the Toyota to run off the left side of the highway. After the Toyota went off the highway it hit a ditch and rolled over several times eventually stopping in the northbound lanes. The driver of the Toyota Camry was taken to the hospital and later pronounced deceased. The other passengers in the Toyota Camry were also injured.

The Virginia State Police said the Kia Sorento stopped momentarily before continuing southbound. Virginia State Troopers located the car several hours later. The driver of the Kia Sorento is facing hit and run charges and the state police are investigating further.

Whenever a “hit and run” occurs, civil punitive damages typically will apply. These are damages that are applicable when the defendant in a civil case goes above and beyond negligence into recklessness or willful wanton conduct. Punitive damages are usually used to punish a defendant when they act in a particular offensive way. In essence, any potential jury will most likely not like the fact that the Kia Sorento driver left the scene of the accident without contacting authorities or rushing to the aid of the flipped vehicle.
