Our Virginia Car Accident Personal Injury Lawyers With Over 50 Years of Experience
Every year, almost 11 million Americans are involved in car accidents, resulting in over 40,000 deaths. In Virginia alone, for every 100 million miles driven by cars in the state, one person dies in a collision.
While the Virginia Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have worked over the years to create safer roads through regulations and education, car accidents statistics have remained relatively static. With a catastrophic car accident come unexpected and difficult injuries that permanently affect the lives of victims. These injuries can lead to life-long disabilities, astronomical medical bills, extensive surgeries and treatment, and difficulty with maintaining employment and caring for loved ones.

The Stellute Law Firm has over 50 years combined experience litigating personal injury cases and is eager and prepared to fight for your interests.

Car Accidents
The most common type of accident claim that The Stellute Law Firm handles is the car accident case. In fact, car accidents account for the vast majority of personal injury andclaims in the civil legal system today. Drivers on roads and highways owe a legal duty of care to drive safely and follow traffic rules and regulations. When a driver is negligent and causes a car accident, that driver will be responsible for any ensuing damages. For serious accidents, especially those involving physical injuries, you need an experienced car accident lawyer to guide you through the process of pursuing compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists, in addition to following the same rules of the road as car drivers, must also adhere to additional standards, such as seeking special licenses that authorize operation of a motorcycle. If you have either been involved in an accident with a motorcycle or if you were the victim riding the motorcycle, you know how disastrous the injuries can be. A motorcycle accident attorney can help you to evaluate fault, assess your damages, and pursue a civil claim against the party responsible for the accident.
Bicycle Accidents
As Virginia and the Hampton Roads community seek to encourage bicycle commuting in order to reduce vehicle congestion on roadways and reduce pollution, more safety measures for bicyclists, including bicycle lanes, are being implemented statewide. However, bicycling remains a very risky activity given the large number of negligent drivers on the road. Bicycling has turned into a defensive sport for cyclists, and severe accidents have sadly become the norm. If you have been harmed in a bicycle accident due to another driver's negligence, you should seek the guidance of an accomplished bicycle accident lawyer from the Stellute Law Firm for assistance with pursuing a personal injury claim.
Airplane Accidents

If you have been involved in an airplane accident, you need a lawyer you can trust and rely on. The Stellute Law Firm is known as "The One to Know" because we have the trial experience to assist you with your airplane accident claim.
Train Accidents
Due to negligence in maintaining railroads and trains, as well as operator error, train accidents have become increasingly common in the United States.

When a train accident occurs, the individuals on the train are not the only ones injured. More serious injuries generally occur to the local residents and their surrounding property.
