> The roanokecrashlawyerguide editorial team writes and reviews every page from primary sources, chiefly the Code of Virginia. Each page shows a last reviewed date and links the statute or agency page behind its figures.

## Who writes the pages?

The roanokecrashlawyerguide editorial team writes and reviews every page. The team does not publish individual bylines, and no page is signed by a lawyer. The site is a reference, not a law firm. See the [disclaimer](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/disclaimer/).

## Which sources does the guide use?

Each page states the rule first and then cites its source. The sources, in order of reliance:

1. **The Code of Virginia** on law.lis.virginia.gov, for every state statute cited.
2. **Federal regulations**, for rules that apply to commercial trucks.
3. **Roanoke-area police agencies and local governments**, for report procedures and contacts.
4. **The Virginia DMV**, for crash report requests and fees.
5. **Each law firm's own website**, for the contact details and practice areas shown on the [lawyers page](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/lawyers/).

Statutes are linked in the margin or beside the paragraph they support. Forum posts and news items are not used as a source of legal rules.

## What does "last reviewed" mean?

Each page shows the date the team last compared the page with its sources. Laws, fees and agency procedures change, so a recent date does not replace checking the current text.

## How do you report an error?

The [contact page](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/contact/) explains how to check a figure against its source. If a link or a fee looks out of date, rely on the linked statute or agency page.
