Virginia Beach's scenic routes can quickly become hazardous, with certain roads and intersections consistently topping the list for accidents. If you frequently travel through these areas, or if your commute takes you along them, heightened awareness is crucial. Our local knowledge allows us to identify these high-risk zones, where the probability of a car crash significantly increases.
Here are some of Virginia Beach's notorious accident hotspots to be extra vigilant on:
Staying alert and defensive when navigating these areas can significantly reduce your risk of becoming another statistic.
Car accidents rarely happen without a cause. Understanding the common factors that lead to collisions in Virginia Beach can help you recognize risks and protect yourself. In 2023, Virginia Beach experienced 5,194 reported crashes, resulting in 2,578 injuries and 36 fatalities—the highest fatality total in Hampton Roads.
Common distractions include texting, talking on the phone, eating, and adjusting in-vehicle technologies. The prevalence of smartphone use has exacerbated this issue, making it a major public safety concern.
Speeding significantly contributes to the severity of accidents. Higher speeds reduce reaction times and increase the force of impact during collisions, leading to more serious injuries and fatalities. In 2023, speeding was a factor in numerous crashes in Virginia Beach, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement and public awareness.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a major factor in car accidents, causing numerous preventable injuries and deaths each year. Impaired drivers have reduced reaction times and impaired judgment, making them a danger to themselves and others on the road.
Adverse weather conditions like rain, fog, and ice can lead to higher accident rates by affecting road visibility and vehicle handling. Drivers often fail to adjust their driving to the conditions, resulting in skids, hydroplaning, and collisions.
Aggressive behaviors such as tailgating, weaving through traffic, and road rage incidents increase the likelihood of accidents. Reckless drivers pose a serious threat to the safety of others on the road and often cause accidents that could have been avoided.
In 2023, Virginia Beach experienced 5,194 reported crashes, resulting in 2,578 injuries and 36 fatalities—the highest fatality total in Hampton Roads.
Rear-end collisions are often caused by tailgating or sudden stops and can result in significant injuries, especially to the neck and back. Rear-end collisions are common in heavy traffic and at intersections where drivers may not react in time to stopped vehicles ahead.
Head-on collisions typically result in severe injuries or fatalities and are often due to wrong-way driving or veering into oncoming traffic. These accidents are particularly dangerous due to the high impact forces involved.
Side-impact collisions, also known as T-bone accidents, commonly occur at intersections and can cause serious injuries due to the limited protection on the side of vehicles. Side-impact collisions often result from running red lights or failing to yield.
Multi-vehicle pile-ups usually occur on highways and involve multiple drivers and vehicles, leading to complex liability issues. These accidents can be particularly chaotic and dangerous, with a high risk of injury to all involved.
Rollover accidents are more frequent in larger vehicles like SUVs. Rollovers can be caused by sharp turns taken at high speeds, resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Rollovers are often due to a combination of speed, vehicle type, and road conditions.
Determining liability in a car accident can be complex, as multiple parties might be held responsible depending on the specifics of the incident.
The driver of a passenger vehicle is most commonly liable if their negligence, such as speeding, distracted driving, or DUI, caused the accident. However, liability can extend to:
Identifying all responsible parties is crucial to ensuring you receive full compensation. This is why working with experienced attorneys like those at Breit Biniazan is so important; we conduct thorough investigations to uncover every detail.
Determining fault in a car accident can be complex, especially if you believe you might be partly at fault. However, being partially at fault doesn’t necessarily preclude you from recovering damages. Many states follow comparative negligence laws, which means that your compensation could be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.
For instance, if you are found to be 30% at fault for the accident, your compensation would be reduced by that amount. It’s crucial to consult with experienced car accident attorneys like those at Breit Biniazan to understand your rights and navigate the intricacies of your case effectively. Our team can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve despite the complexities involved.
Virginia is not a “no-fault” state for car accidents. Instead, Virginia follows an at-fault system, meaning that the driver responsible for causing the accident is liable for any resulting damages. In an at-fault state like Virginia, the injured party has multiple options for seeking compensation.
They can file a claim with their own insurance company, pursue a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance, or take legal action against the at-fault driver. This system underscores the importance of determining fault accurately after an accident. If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Virginia, the experienced attorneys at Breit Biniazan can help you navigate the claims process, gather necessary evidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

In Virginia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim resulting from a car accident is two years from the date of the accident. It’s crucial to act promptly to preserve evidence and build a strong case.

"Had a amazing experience with this company. They helped me every step of the way when I had to go to court for a accident I was in. They are really personable and go above and beyond in customer service."

"My case was small, but it was handled with the care one would expect to be given to a multimillion-dollar settlement. The professionalism, intelligence and kindness of everyone in the firm far surpassed my expectations. Jeffrey Breit and Kevin Biniazan are truly the A Team!"
"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"
"Kevin and his team were very professional and personable! They were very knowledgeable with my case. I feel like I have made some great new friendships. Thank you guys!"
"Was very happy with the service I received from this office Staff is very helpful & friendly. After just a few months my case was resolved & my outcome was better than expected! Kellie Jennings kept me up to date and informed through it all. I have another pending case & have no reservations that the outcome will be as good as the first. I would recommend to family & friends."
"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"
"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case. Attorney Kevin Biniazan and his team fought well for my rights and I received an extremely good settlement. I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"
"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."
"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.
Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.
If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."
"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."
"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"
"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."
"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."
"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"
"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."
"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."
"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."
"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"
"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."
"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.
As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.
I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."
"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
