If you were hurt in a crash on Great Neck Road, Shore Drive or the streets in between, my office is a few minutes south at 1080 Laskin Road, Suite 101. I'm Scott Barney. When you hire me, you get me, and the first conversation is free.
Local Knowledge
Two roads, two kinds of crash
Great Neck Road runs north through established neighborhoods to Shore Drive. Shore Drive, part of US 60, follows the Chesapeake Bay side of the city, crossing Lynnhaven Inlet on the Lesner Bridge and running past First Landing State Park at 2500 Shore Drive. Between them you get school and commuter traffic, beach and park visitors, cyclists and people pulling in and out of restaurants and marinas.

Where a Virginia Beach injury case is filed
A lawsuit brought in Virginia Beach is filed at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court, 2425 Nimmo Parkway, Building 10 & 10B, 3rd Floor, Virginia Beach, VA 23456-9017, which sits in Virginia’s 2nd Judicial Circuit. The clerk’s office can be reached on (757) 385-4181. Each Hampton Roads city is its own circuit with its own judges, clerk, and scheduling practice, which is why a case in Virginia Beach does not run on the same rhythm as one across the water.

Neighborhood roads, commuter speeds
On Great Neck Road, many crashes involve drivers turning in and out of neighborhoods and side streets against through traffic. Fault often comes down to who had the right of way and how fast someone was going, which is exactly the argument Virginia's contributory negligence rule rewards an insurer for making. Here is how the rule works.
Shore Drive: walkers, cyclists and park traffic
Shore Drive mixes through traffic with people on foot and on bikes heading to the bay, the park and the restaurants. When a driver hits a cyclist or pedestrian here, the first question the insurer asks is whether the person on foot or on the bike did something wrong.
If that was you, photos of the road, the lighting and where you were matter a great deal. See what to do after a pedestrian accident and Virginia's three-foot passing rule for bicycles.
On the water nearby
Lynnhaven Inlet and the bay side bring boating injuries as well as road crashes. Those claims can follow different rules from a car crash. Here is what to know about boating accidents and maritime law.
What to do next
Get the police report number, get checked by a doctor, and hold off on recorded statements to the other driver's insurer until you know where you stand. Then call or text 757-965-7200, or contact me online.
