Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Virginia?
Virginia has a two year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. This time limit starts from the date of the injury or the date the injury was discovered. There are limited exceptions for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
What damages can I recover in a Virginia medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. Virginia also allows non-economic damages for pain and suffering but caps these damages at a specific amount that adjusts annually. In 2024 the cap is approximately 3 million dollars.
Do I need a certificate of merit in Virginia to sue for malpractice?
Yes Virginia requires a certificate of merit in medical malpractice cases. Before filing a lawsuit your attorney must obtain a written opinion from a qualified expert who states that the care provided was negligent. This expert must practice in the same field as the defendant.
