Texting while driving in Virginia is against the law
In Virginia, you can be pulled over if a police officer suspects you of texting while driving, and you may be subject to a fine. Virginia has passed texting while driving laws because of the dangers associated with cell phone use behind the wheel. However, accidents caused by texting drivers continue to cause serious harm and even fatalities.
Dealing with insurance companies after a texting while driving accident
Oftentimes after a collision that results in personal injury, insurance companies will make a "one-time" initial settlement offer, hoping you'll accept far more than what you could potentially get with help from a skilled texting while driving accident attorney.
