About these figures

The I-95 Virginia truck accident figures come from NHTSA's FARS, which covers fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Nonfatal crashes and injuries are excluded. State and county counts follow the crash location fields, not residence. For anyone searching for a truck accident lawyer, that location grouping remains the basis for reading these figures.^[8][6][7]

Assignment to I-95 in Virginia requires ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID. Those crash-level fields identify route signing and location, not the highway's full geographic extent. Large-truck involvement does not establish fault. Records for 2020 to 2023 are FARS Final Files; 2024 uses the Annual Report File, which can change when NHTSA replaces it with the Final File.^[8][6][7]
