Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Newport News?
In Virginia, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. There is also a maximum of ten years from the date of the act of malpractice, regardless of when the injury is discovered. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice case in Virginia?
Yes, Virginia law requires you to obtain a written opinion from a qualified expert witness before filing a lawsuit. The expert must state that the healthcare provider deviated from the standard of care and caused your injury. This opinion must be filed with the initial complaint.
What damages can I recover in a Virginia medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Virginia caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at a limit that adjusts annually; for 2024 the cap is approximately $2.3 million. Punitive damages are not available in Virginia medical malpractice cases.
