6 Helpful Steps to Take After an Automobile Accident in Virginia
All accidents leave the victims in a state of shock. Senses are numbed and you simply cannot think straight. But if you can keep your cool and follow some immediate action steps, you can be saved from a lot of legal and insurance related hassles in the future.
The first and most natural reaction after an automobile accident is to panic-DON'T!
Though it is difficult to keep a cool head when you are involved in a mishap, collecting your senses and acting wisely could save you lots of time, money and legal issues.
Try to remember the following action steps, so that you not only manage the situation better at that point in time, but are saved from additional stressors down the road.
- The first thing you ought to remember when involved in a road accident is not to flee from the accident site. Leaving the scene of an accident, even when you are innocent, can get you entangled in a lot of legal problems later.
- The next thing to remember is to not move your vehicle or change the accident scene until the authorities have arrived.
- Attend to other victims, but only after you have made sure that you are ok. However, take care not to move injured persons, unless there is fire (or some other type of emergent circumstance) or you are a qualified medical professional.
- Either contact the police yourself or get someone to call them. Police can play an important role, as they have to create and file accident reports, especially if someone is hurt or property damage to the vehicles exceeds $1000. All such official information will be helpful in the future as you deal with insurance companies and if you have to go to Court for a traffic charge (like failure to yield the right of way, disregarding a stop sign, speeding, etc.).
- After the accident try to collect as much information as possible about other drivers. Information like phone numbers, addresses, license plate numbers and insurance policy numbers can be of great assistance to you in future, as you file your claims for injuries and property damages. In cases where there are witnesses to the accident, try to gather their contact information as well.
- If you collided with a stationary vehicle or other property, the onus lies with you to locate the owner of the vehicle or other item into which you crashed. In case you are unable to find the owner, leave a note on the car, with your name, address, contact number, license plate number, time and date when the accident happened and the estimated damage. You may also notify the police regarding the accident within 24 hours. Finally, if you have a camera (digital, phone, Polaroid, etc.), then take pictures of the resulting damage to rebut any later inflated claim by the owner of the damaged property.
As you can see, there are lots of action steps after an automobile accident in Virginia which you can take, instead of just panicking. All the information and facts which you gather are for your own good and will help you in the future if you are entangled in any legal hassle or insurance claim.
So keep your cool and act wisely!

Are there any good cover letter samples available online? Yes there are, and we list some of the best places to find them below.
Before you look at these, it will pay you in the long run if you understand how a cover letter can work, along with your resume, to get you the job interview that you want.
A job application is either speculative - you want to work for a company, but they are not advertising; or it is an application for an advertised job.
The key to writing a good cover letter is to understand two things. First, that your potential employer will have many applications to look at, either all at the same time if a position has been advertised, or every morning if he or she has been given the job of assessing speculative applications. Second, he or she will likely have very little time to read them and to decide if a candidate merits an interview. So every word on the cover letter has to count.
As your cover letter will be read before your resume, and it is in effect 'selling' you, it is vital that it tells the employer something about you which will generate interest and a positive feeling about you in the employer's mind. It has to be, at most, one page long.
Traditionally, a one page cover letter consists of three parts. These are the introduction, the main body, and the sign off.
For the introduction, you must address the potential employer by name: this will immediately differentiate you from more casual applicants. State the position you are interested in, and why you want to fill it. Refer to the job ad if relevant.
For the main body, you must market yourself as the right person for the job or for the company, making the most of your qualifications, skills and experience, and relating them directly to the position you want.
Finally in the sign off, make all your contact details clear and explicit, and remind the employer that further details can be found in your enclosed resume. By this point, he or she should be hooked.
Here are some sites which give actual cover letter samples to read.
California State University has many cover letter samples, mostly for speculative applications rather than for advertised positions. It gives a useful commentary on the merits of particular parts of the covering letters featured. See their cover letter guide for additional tips.
Virginia Tech has produced a comprehensive cover letter resource, which includes a cover letter template, and both email and hard-copy samples of various cover letters. These include follow-ups to a personal meeting, applications for advertised positions, and speculative applications where no position has been advertised.
Careerstrides.com has free cover letter samples specific to professional areas such as Accounting, Administration, Executive and Sales.
Quintcareers has a large set of free cover letters, which they call 'job search' letters, covering areas like internships, cold contact, military transition, and recent college graduate. They also show you how to stand out from the crowd with a 'two column' letter layout. You should also have a look at their cover letter tutorial. Towards the end of this, they give sample excerpts from actual cover letters, explaining why they are effective - so you can learn by example.
