Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Virginia?
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue. Some cases, like medical malpractice, have special rules, so act quickly.
How does Virginia contributory negligence affect my case?
Virginia is one of the few states that follows pure contributory negligence. If you are partially at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any compensation. This makes it very important to have a lawyer who can argue that the other party was entirely at fault.
What damages can I recover in a Burke personal injury case?
You can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Virginia does not cap most damages in personal injury cases, but there are limits on punitive damages and medical malpractice awards.
