Staunton sits at the crossroads of I-81 and I-64 in Virginia’s historic Shenandoah Valley, making it one of the state’s highest-volume freight and travel corridors. The same highways that fuel the region’s economy also produce some of its most serious accidents. Strickland, Diviney & Segura represents personal injury victims in Staunton, Augusta County, and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley, bringing Southwest Virginia’s most experienced trial advocacy to clients who deserve maximum compensation.
A Critical Interstate Crossroads — and Its Dangers
The I-81/I-64 interchange near Staunton handles tens of thousands of vehicles per day, including a heavy concentration of commercial tractor-trailers moving goods between the Northeast and Southeast. The Afton Mountain section of I-64 — known for fog, ice, and steep grades — is among Virginia’s most dangerous stretches of highway. US-11 through Staunton and US-250 west toward Highland County add additional accident risk. When crashes on these roads cause serious injuries, our attorneys are prepared to pursue every available source of liability.
