According to 2025 data to date:
Being injured in a Richmond crash can have life-changing consequences. The most frequent injuries we see include:
Prompt medical care is essential for your health. Seeking medical treatment after your accident will also strengthen your personal injury claim. By working with Breit Biniazan, our attorneys will take care of the heavy lifting, while you focus on your recovery.
Engaging in activities like texting, talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting in-car technology can significantly increase the risk of an accident. The widespread use of smartphones has only escalated this issue, posing a major threat to road safety.
Excessive speed increases the severity of crashes by reducing reaction times and amplifying the force of collisions, often resulting in more serious injuries and fatalities.
Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a leading cause of preventable accidents, resulting in countless injuries and deaths each year. Impaired drivers struggle with reduced reaction times and poor decision-making, putting everyone on the road at risk.
Poor weather conditions, such as rain, fog, or ice, can make driving more hazardous by reducing visibility and affecting vehicle handling. Accidents are more likely to occur when drivers fail to adjust their behavior to suit weather conditions.
Aggressive behaviors like tailgating, weaving through traffic, and engaging in road rage can increase the chances of an accident. Reckless drivers create dangerous situations for everyone on the road.
Often caused by tailgating or sudden stops, rear-end collisions frequently occur in congested traffic or at intersections. These accidents often result in neck and back injuries, such as whiplash.
These highly dangerous accidents, often the result of wrong-way driving or veering into oncoming traffic, typically result in serious injuries or fatalities due to the high-impact nature of the crash.
Side-impact accidents are common at intersections when drivers fail to yield or run red lights. The lack of protection on the side of the vehicle can lead to severe injuries for occupants.
Accidents involving several vehicles, often occurring on highways, can be chaotic and lead to complicated questions of liability. Injuries are frequently widespread due to the number of vehicles involved.
Larger vehicles like SUVs are more prone to rollover accidents, which can be caused by sharp turns or speeding. These types of crashes often result in serious injuries or death.
In a car accident case, liability can fall on multiple parties, depending on the specifics of the incident. Often, the driver responsible for negligent behavior—such as distracted driving or speeding—will be held accountable. However, in certain situations, other parties may also be liable, including truck drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, or even property owners if unsafe conditions contributed to the crash.
In some cases, the government agency responsible for maintaining road safety or a vehicle manufacturer may also be held accountable if road design flaws or vehicle defects contributed to the accident. Determining liability can be complex, which is why it’s essential to work with experienced Richmond car accident lawyers like those at Breit Biniazan to ensure a thorough investigation and identification of all responsible parties.
Proving negligence is a crucial aspect of any car accident case in Richmond, Virginia. Negligence refers to the failure of one party to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm or injury to another party. In a car accident case, negligence can take many forms, such as speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, or failure to obey traffic laws.
To prove negligence, you must demonstrate that the other party had a duty to exercise reasonable care, breached that duty, and caused harm or injury as a result. This can be done through various means, including:
A Richmond car accident attorney can help you gather and present evidence to prove negligence and establish liability. If you are able to prove negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Having an experienced car accident attorney by your side ensures that all necessary evidence is collected and effectively presented, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.
If you believe you may be partially at fault for the accident, this does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. However, Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule, which means that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you could be barred from receiving any compensation. This makes it critical to work with experienced attorneys who can build a strong case and minimize the impact of contributory negligence on your claim.
Yes, Virginia operates under an at-fault system, meaning that the driver responsible for causing the accident is liable for the resulting damages. Victims of car accidents have multiple options for seeking compensation, including filing a claim with their own insurance, pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance, or filing a lawsuit.
At Breit Biniazan, we understand the necessity of hiring Richmond car accident attorneys for individuals who have been injured in automobile accidents in Virginia. Prompt legal assistance can significantly improve the chances of recovering compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
We follow a systematic approach to car accident claims, which includes:
Dealing with auto insurance companies can be a challenging and frustrating experience, especially after a car accident. Insurance companies are often more interested in minimizing their payouts than in providing fair compensation to accident victims.
To deal effectively with auto insurance companies, it’s essential to:
A Richmond car accident attorney can help you navigate the complex process of dealing with auto insurance companies and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can handle communications with the insurance company on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

They can help you gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate on your behalf in court, ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.
Ensure safety, report the accident to emergency services, document the scene, seek medical attention, and consult with an attorney to explore your legal options.
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims resulting from a car accident is two years from the date of the accident.
You may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages in certain cases.
If the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance, you may still seek compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Our attorneys conduct comprehensive investigations, gather evidence, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

"GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! ... you can not go wrong with this firm backing you!... Thanks for everything!"
"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!"

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.
