Montgomery County — home to Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and the New River Valley’s growing technology corridor — is one of Southwest Virginia’s most dynamic communities. When accidents occur on the US-460 business route, the I-81 interchange near Exit 118, or on campus roads through Blacksburg, the consequences can be life-altering. Strickland, Diviney & Segura represents injured people throughout Montgomery County with the same dedication and skill we bring to our home courts in Roanoke.
Accident Patterns in the New River Valley
The US-460 corridor from Roanoke County through Christiansburg and Blacksburg is one of Virginia’s busiest non-interstate four-lane highways. I-81 through Montgomery County sees constant heavy truck traffic. Radford Road, Prices Fork Road, and Main Street in Blacksburg generate pedestrian and bicycle accidents near the Virginia Tech campus. Our attorneys know these roads, their documented hazard histories, and how to build compelling liability cases around them.
