A fatal hit-and-run accident has left a motorcyclist dead in Fairfax County after being struck by a tractor-trailer, reports CBS.

The accident occurred on April 30 at around 4:30 a.m. when Virginia State Police were called to Interstate 95 at the 165-mile marker in what is reportedly a hit-and-run crash. The victim, 68-year-old Timothy E. Halpin, was driving north on the I-95 when he lost control of his BMW 1200 motorcycle. His motorcycle slid into the left shoulder while Halpin entered into the center lane and was fatally hit by a tractor-trailer.

The trailer-tractor then fled the scene of the accident and witnesses are unable to provide a description of the vehicle.

Statistics from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles conclude that the number of motorcyclists in the state is at an all time high, with 197,000 registered in 2012. Accidents are also up, with a 14 percent increase in motorcycle accidents from 2009-2012.

In 2012 there were 2,429 motorcycle accidents in the Commonwealth that left 78 people dead. In Fairfax County, motorcycle crashes were up 30 percent from 2011 to 2012, going from 183 to 242.

Companies Give You The
Runaround! Contact Us Today

Don't let the insurance companies give you the runaround – contact us today to get the legal support you need.










    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
