Laskin Road runs from my office at 1080 Laskin Road, Suite 101 straight toward the beach. If you were hurt at the Oceanfront, whether you live here, work here or were visiting, I can tell you where you stand. When you hire me, you get me, and the consultation is free.
Local Knowledge
Visitors, pedestrians and riders change the claim
The resort area packs a three-mile boardwalk, Atlantic and Pacific Avenues, hotels, restaurants and Rudee Inlet into a narrow strip. Traffic swells with visitors, many of them unfamiliar with the streets and crosswalks, and a lot of people are on foot, on bikes, or on rented scooters and e-bikes.

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.

When the other driver is from out of town
Many Oceanfront crashes involve a driver who lives somewhere else, or a rental car. That does not stop you from making a claim, but it makes the first few minutes more important. Get a photo of the driver's license, the insurance card and the plate, and if it is a rental, the rental company name and agreement if they will show it. Once they drive home, those details get much harder to find.
The crash still happened in Virginia, so the police report goes through Virginia channels. Here is how to get your Virginia Beach crash report.
Pedestrians and riders
If you were hit while walking, the details of where you were and what the signal showed will decide a lot. Virginia's contributory negligence rule means an insurer will look hard for any reason to say you stepped out at the wrong time. What to do after a pedestrian accident covers the first steps.
Scooter and e-bike crashes raise their own questions about where the rider was allowed to be and whose insurance applies. I wrote about being hit by an e-bike or electric scooter, and about bicycle crashes.
Rideshare and hotel property
A lot of trips to and from the resort area are by Uber or Lyft. If your driver was involved, whose coverage applies depends on what the driver was doing at the time. Here is how the rideshare insurance periods work.
Not every Oceanfront injury is a crash. Falls on wet hotel floors, pool decks and broken steps are property claims with different evidence. See who is liable for a slip and fall in Virginia.
