Serious Personal Injury in Virginia III

Experienced personal injury lawyers and attorneys know that a serious personal injury can be a life changing event. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a serious personal injury will result in a recovery. For instance, if a deer runs into your car and causes an auto accident with a serious personal injury to the driver, insurance will cover the cost of repair to the car, but insurance does not generally cover the serious personal injury damages. The reason is that your car insurance protects only against the negligence of other drivers. Icy roads are another cause of car accidents that results in coverage for the car repair, but not for the injured driver. However, only a careful examination of your auto insurance policy will confirm the presence or absence of coverage for a particular event. There may also be other avenues of recovery if there is a serious personal injury. One example of such a situation is the icy road scenario that we just mentioned. There may not be an at fault driver, but there may still be a recovery if there was an equipment failure such as an air bag that did not deploy. Generally, a fact situation involving a product defect requires an expert to offer an opinion that the specific item did not function as intended. An experienced personal injury lawyer and attorney can look at the facts of an accident involving a serious personal injury and determine if further investigation is warranted. Francis P.
