Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Virginia?
In Virginia, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This deadline is strict and missing it can bar you from recovering compensation. An attorney can help ensure your claim is filed on time.
How does Virginia contributory negligence affect my case?
Virginia is one of the few states that uses pure contributory negligence. If you are found even 1 percent at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any damages. This makes it important to have a lawyer who can argue that the other party was fully responsible.
What types of damages can I recover in a Centreville injury case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Virginia does not cap most personal injury damages, but there are limits in medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages are also available in some cases of gross negligence.
