Car accident litigation is probably the most common form of tort claim that is asserted. Those tort claims normally involve some careless or reckless act by one person resulting in a collision with another motor vehicle or pedestrian. Whether the operation of a motor vehicle involves actual negligence is going to depend upon how the driver’s conduct is viewed in light of the Rules of the Road as set forth either in the Virginia State code or the local Code governing traffic regulation.
The Rules of the Road or traffic regulations establish the standards for operation of motor vehicles. A violation of these rules or regulations typically constitutes negligence.

Automobile Accident Insurance
Liability coverage protects you in the event that someone else alleges that you were at fault for an automobile accident. By you, I mean either you as the insured or anyone who is driving your vehicle with your permission. Under state statutes anyone who is a “permissive user” of the vehicle is covered by the liability policy. Liability coverage is the only form of coverage in Virginia that comes close to being mandatory. In reality however it is not mandatory because you can choose to pay an uninsured motorist fee in which event you may go without liability coverage. The minimum coverage allowed in Virginia for liability is $25,000.00.
That $25,000.00 means that the insurance carrier will pay up to $25,000.00 in the event that you were found to be liable for the collision. The insurance carrier will also provide an attorney to defend you. The attorney is one that they chose- not you. Read more about insurance coverage here.
