<h2>Experienced Traffic Lawyer</h2>
<h4>Representative Cases</h4>

<h2>Is it serious?</h2>
<p>Many reckless driving tickets do not result in jail time or a license suspension in Northern Virginia. When faced with such a charge, you can expect to receive unsolicited mail from attorneys warning of dire consequences, including jail. Rather than attempting to scare you, an experienced traffic attorney should be able to give you an honest evaluation of potential outcomes. In many cases, the likely outcome does not involve a trip to jail.</p>

<p>This information is provided by a Fairfax VA personal injury lawyer. Negligence is defined as the failure to use reasonable care under the circumstances and conditions. In most Virginia personal injury cases, the victim has two years from the date of the personal injury to settle the claim of file a lawsuit, but that limitation can change depending on the circumstances. For example, the statute of limitations for defamation in Virginia is only one year.</p>
