When a rideshare driver causes a crash, the first question isn't who was driving. It's what the app was doing at that exact moment.

Virginia sets different insurance minimums for each stage. With the app on and waiting for a ride, required coverage starts at $50,000 per person. Once a ride is accepted, it jumps to at least $1 million. With the app off, the rideshare company's policy generally isn't in the picture at all.

If a rideshare driver hurt you in Chesapeake, I can help pin down the app status that decides which policy pays. Call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.

Si el conductor que te chocó tenía poco seguro, tu propia cobertura UIM puede ayudarte. Y desde 2023, en Virginia puede ayudarte más que antes.

En las pólizas emitidas o renovadas desde el 1 de julio de 2023, tu UIM ya no se reduce por lo que paga el seguro del culpable: se suma. La excepción es que alguien nombrado en tu póliza haya firmado por escrito para conservar la reducción anterior, y esa decisión aplica a todos en la póliza.

Si te lesionó un conductor con poco seguro en Chesapeake, puedo revisar tu póliza para saber cuánta cobertura tienes de verdad. Llama al 757-505-HURT (4878) o visita nbinjury.com para una consulta gratuita. No cobro honorarios a menos que ganemos.

Getting hit from behind feels like the one crash where fault is obvious. Virginia law does require drivers to keep a reasonable and prudent distance, so the driver behind usually carries the blame.

Usually isn't always. Insurers know Virginia follows contributory negligence, where even a small share of fault can bar your recovery, so they look for a reason to say you stopped suddenly or your brake lights weren't working.

If you were rear-ended in Chesapeake and the insurer is already telling a different story, I can help you answer it with the evidence. Call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.

Cuando un ciclista se mueve hacia el centro del carril, muchos asumen que está infringiendo la ley. En Virginia, eso no siempre es así.

La regla general dice que un ciclista debe mantenerse cerca del borde derecho de la vía cuando va más lento que el tráfico. Pero si el carril es demasiado angosto para compartirlo con seguridad junto a un auto, la ley permite al ciclista alejarse del borde. En ese caso, está siguiendo la ley, no infringiéndola.

Si chocaste en bicicleta en Chesapeake y la aseguradora dice que debiste ir más pegado al borde, puedo ayudarte a revisar si esa excepción aplica en tu caso. Llama al 757-505-HURT (4878) o visita nbinjury.com para una consulta gratuita. No cobro honorarios a menos que ganemos.

Crossing outside a marked crosswalk means Virginia law puts the duty to yield on you first. That's true, but it isn't the whole picture.

Yielding first doesn't erase the driver's duty to watch the road, slow down, and avoid a pedestrian they can see. Virginia bars recovery if you're even 1% at fault, so how the details get documented can decide whether that duty was actually met.

If you were hit crossing a Chesapeake street outside a marked crosswalk, I can help make sure the driver's side of the story gets examined too. Call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.

09/25/2026

You got in the car knowing the driver had been drinking. If something goes wrong, the insurance company might argue you assumed the risk just by riding along.

That defense only works if you fully understood the danger and got in anyway, not just because he'd had a drink. How much you knew and how obvious it was are what end up deciding the case.

If you were hurt riding with a drunk driver in Chesapeake, call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.

Circular entre carriles para adelantar el tráfico puede sentirse más seguro en el momento, pero en Virginia no es legal.

La ley exige que cada vehículo, incluidas las motocicletas, se mantenga dentro de un solo carril siempre que sea posible. Si circulabas entre carriles cuando ocurrió el choque, la aseguradora puede alegar que contribuiste al accidente, sin importar quién más falló. Ojo: dos motocicletas viajando una junto a otra en el mismo carril sí está permitido por la ley de Virginia, es circular entre carriles lo que no lo está.

Si te lastimaste en una moto en Chesapeake y la aseguradora dice que ibas circulando entre carriles, puedo ayudarte a revisar si esa acusación realmente aplica a tu caso. Llama al 757-505-HURT (4878) o visita nbinjury.com para una consulta gratuita. No cobro honorarios a menos que ganemos.

Virginia lets businesses wait until a storm passes, and a reasonable time after, before they have to clear ice and snow from walkways. That grace period isn't unlimited.

Once the snow stops falling, the clock starts. How long a business waited to clear a walkway can decide whether they're liable for your fall. Private homeowners generally follow a different rule, they don't have to warn about ice and snow that's obvious to see.

If you slipped on ice at a business in Chesapeake, I can help find out how long that hazard sat there before you fell. Call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.

Cuando te caes en una propiedad ajena, no todos los visitantes tienen los mismos derechos frente al dueño. En Virginia, ese deber de cuidado cambia según por qué estabas ahí.

Si ibas a comprar o hacer negocios, el dueño debe inspeccionar el lugar y corregir peligros que debería haber conocido. Si eras un invitado personal, el dueño solo debe advertirte sobre peligros que ya conocía, no buscarlos activamente.

Si te caíste en una propiedad en Chesapeake y no sabes qué nivel de responsabilidad aplica en tu caso, puedo ayudarte a averiguarlo. Llama al 757-505-HURT (4878) o visita nbinjury.com para una consulta gratuita. No cobro honorarios a menos que ganemos.

A drunk driver hit you and drove away. Virginia law required them to stop, give their information, and help you, and fleeing instead is a separate crime stacked on top of the DUI itself.

When the driver isn't identified right away, your claim doesn't have to wait. Your own uninsured motorist coverage can often step in while law enforcement works to find them.

If a drunk driver hit you in Chesapeake and left the scene, call 757-505-HURT (4878) or visit nbinjury.com for a free consultation. No fee until I win.
