Reckless driving is not one specific act. It covers a range of behavior: speeding well above the limit, weaving between lanes without signaling, tailgating a car ahead, or blowing through a yellow light that was clearly turning red.

What all of it has in common is a driver choosing speed or convenience over everyone else's safety on the road. In Virginia, that kind of behavior can carry criminal penalties for the driver, and when it leads to a crash, it often supports a strong personal injury claim for the person who got hurt.

If reckless driving left you injured, an attorney can help you understand what comes next. Reach our team through the contact page at montagnalaw.com/contact.

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, and the timing lines up with one of the most dangerous stretches of the year for people on foot. As daylight hours shrink, drivers and pedestrians alike lose visibility right during the evening rush.

Drivers should slow down near crosswalks, scan intersections before turning, and stay off the phone in low-light conditions. Pedestrians can help too, wearing reflective clothing and making eye contact with drivers before stepping into a crosswalk. Neither habit removes all risk. Distracted and reckless drivers cause the majority of pedestrian collisions, regardless of how careful the person on foot is.

Shorter days and wet leaves change the driving conditions across Hampton Roads almost overnight. Sunset now arrives during the evening commute, glare hits harder at certain angles, and roads that were dry all summer turn slick the moment temperatures drop.

Give yourself extra following distance on tree-lined roads where leaves collect, turn your headlights on earlier than feels necessary, and watch for pedestrians who are harder to spot once the light fades. None of that guarantees a safe drive, because the other driver's choices still matter more than yours.

Negligence does not take a season off. If someone else's carelessness causes a crash this fall, call Montagna Law at 757-622-8100 to talk about your options.

Child Passenger Safety Week runs September 20 through 26, and it only takes a few minutes to make sure your child's car seat is doing its job.

Common mistakes are easy to miss:

🔹The wrong seat type for your child's current age and weight
🔹A harness that is too loose, or a chest clip sitting too low
🔹Loose LATCH or seatbelt installation that lets the seat shift
🔹Moving to a booster seat before your child is ready

A properly installed seat dramatically lowers the risk of serious injury, but it cannot eliminate the danger posed by a negligent driver. Even a child buckled in correctly can be seriously hurt when someone else causes the crash.

If your family has been affected by a collision, our contact page at montagnalaw.com/contact is the place to start.

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week runs September 13 through 19, and it is a good moment to recognize the professional drivers who keep goods moving through the port and along I-64 every single day.

It is also a good reminder for the rest of us sharing the road with them. Commercial trucks have massive blind spots along the sides and directly behind the trailer, and they need far more distance to stop than a passenger car. Give trucks extra room when merging, avoid lingering next to a trailer, and never assume a driver can see you just because you can see them.

When a truck accident does happen, the claim looks different than a typical car wreck. Federal trucking regulations, driver logs, and company liability all come into play. Learn how our firm handles these cases at montagnalaw.com.

The call usually comes within a day or two of the crash. An adjuster, friendly and efficient, asks if you would mind answering a few quick questions for the file. It feels routine. It is not.

Recorded statements are collected for the insurance company's benefit, not yours, and answers given before you know the full extent of your injuries can be used later to minimize what you are owed. A single offhand comment about feeling "okay" at the scene can follow your claim for months.

Before you say anything on the record, talk to an attorney who can walk you through what to expect and how to protect your claim from the start. Call Montagna Law at 757-622-8100 to speak with someone directly.

Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. With increased traffic and a rise in impaired-driving incidents during holiday celebrations, it is important to prioritize safety before heading out on the road.

If your plans include celebrating with alcohol over the holiday weekend, consider arranging a safe ride home in advance. Whether that means using a rideshare service, choosing a designated driver, or staying overnight, planning ahead can help prevent serious accidents and keep everyone safer.

Please note that our office will be closed on Labor Day and will reopen on Tuesday morning, and our team will be back to assist you then.

We wish you and your family a safe, enjoyable, and relaxing Labor Day weekend.

New school year, new schedule, and often new conflict for separated or divorced parents. Transportation responsibilities, after-school activities, and even who signs permission slips can turn into disputes if your custody agreement was written before this routine existed.

Before the first bell rings, take a look at how your current order handles school pickup and drop-off, extracurricular costs, and communication between households about grades or teacher conferences. Families who revisit these details early tend to avoid the friction that shows up mid-semester, when a missed pickup or an unreturned text becomes a bigger issue than it needed to be.

An attorney can help you formalize updates so expectations are clear for both parents. Learn more about custody modifications at montagnalaw.com.

Rideshare crashes create a legal puzzle that a standard car accident does not. When an Uber or Lyft driver causes a wreck, determining who pays depends on the stage of the trip. Being off the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively driving a passenger each triggers a different layer of insurance coverage, and those layers do not always work in your favor.

Passengers, other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians hurt in a rideshare collision all have the right to pursue compensation, but building that claim means untangling overlapping policies before the company's insurer moves to close the file. Waiting for legal guidance can mean losing access to the data showing which coverage applies.

Hurt in a rideshare accident in Hampton Roads? Call Montagna Law at 757-622-8100 for a free consultation before you accept anything from an insurance adjuster.
