Car and Motorcycle Accident Cases

The last thing you need when an accident happens is to hire a lawyer based on a catchy TV ad. You want a lawyer who is personally committed to your case, not a firm that processes your case on an assembly line. According to the most recent Virginia Traffic Crash Facts report, there were 151,692 automobile crashes in 2006, resulting in 73,348 injuries and 961 deaths. As a driver or passenger, you assume that other drivers are operating their vehicles cautiously and paying attention to the road. When another driver is negligent, you may end up paying the price.

Insurance companies often make it difficult to collect on an accident claim and treat you like you are just another case number. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a Virginia automobile accident or truck accident, contact the law office of Michael Phelan. Our firm will work aggressively to make sure you are compensated fully.

There are many causes of motor vehicle accidents, including a distracted driver, poor road conditions and a defective automobile or equipment. Drunk drivers are also a main cause of traffic crashes. According to the Virginia Traffic Crash Facts, 7,543 people were injured and 374 were killed in alcohol-related crashes in Virginia in 2006. Mr. Phelan is a proud sponsor of the Virginia chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and is a sponsor of Walk Like MADD.
