Blacksburg is a college town — but the car accidents that happen here have real, life-changing consequences. Virginia Tech’s 35,000 students, staff, and visitors, combined with heavy commuter traffic on US-460 and South Main Street, create one of the New River Valley’s highest-risk traffic environments. Strickland, Diviney & Segura represents car accident victims in Blacksburg with the same tenacity we bring to every case — from initial investigation through trial at the Montgomery County Circuit Court if necessary.
Blacksburg’s Most Accident-Prone Areas
South Main Street from the Virginia Tech Drillfield to the US-460 interchange is Blacksburg’s busiest and most accident-prone corridor. Prices Fork Road near the Corporate Research Center and North Main Street through downtown Blacksburg also generate significant collision data. The US-460 Business Route carrying Roanoke-bound commuters is the site of serious rear-end and head-on crashes. Our attorneys investigate crash scenes, review Virginia Department of Transportation data, and identify every available source of liability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are car accidents near the Virginia Tech campus common in Blacksburg?
Yes. The high density of student pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers near campus — particularly on South Main Street, Prices Fork Road, and the US-460 Business route — creates elevated accident risk. Intersections near Lane Stadium and the Corporate Research Center see significant collision activity.
Who handles car accident lawsuits in Blacksburg?
Blacksburg is an incorporated town within Montgomery County. Car accident cases originating in Blacksburg are filed in the Montgomery County General District Court or Circuit Court in Christiansburg, at 55 E. Main St. Our attorneys appear regularly in both courts.
What if my car accident involved a university or government vehicle?
Accidents involving Virginia Tech vehicles or other government entities require a Tort Claims Notice filed within six months — much shorter than the standard two-year limit. Time is critical. Call us immediately if a state vehicle was involved.
Can I recover compensation if I was a pedestrian or cyclist hit by a car in Blacksburg?
Yes. Pedestrians and cyclists struck by negligent drivers in Blacksburg are entitled to recover the same damages as vehicle occupants. Campus-area accidents often involve unique circumstances, such as limited sightlines near parking garages, that our attorneys document carefully.
How do I choose a car accident attorney in the New River Valley?
Look for attorneys with actual trial experience, a record of significant verdicts, and familiarity with the courts where your case will be heard. Strickland, Diviney & Segura has all three — including million-dollar results and decades of Southwest Virginia courtroom experience.
