Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Virginia
Multi-vehicle accidents on highways like I-64 can be particularly dangerous due to the high speeds and volume of traffic. In congested areas such as Norfolk, even a momentary lapse in attention or sudden braking can lead to chain-reaction collisions involving multiple vehicles.
Victims of multi-vehicle crashes often face severe injuries, financial burdens, and lengthy recovery times. Virginia follows a fault-based system, meaning that injured parties may seek compensation if another driver’s negligence contributed to the accident. Common causes of such crashes include distracted driving, speeding, and following too closely.
To stay safe on the road, drivers should maintain a safe following distance, remain alert, and adhere to speed limits—especially in high-traffic areas. If you or a loved one has been injured in a highway accident, seeking medical attention and understanding your legal rights can help you navigate the recovery process and ensure you receive the support you deserve.
