Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in Virginia?
In Virginia, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time limit applies to most personal injury cases, including car accidents and slip and falls. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation.
How does Virginia contributory negligence affect my case?
Virginia is one of the few states that follows pure contributory negligence. If you are found to have contributed to the accident in any way, even 1 percent, you cannot recover damages. This makes it very important to have a lawyer who can build a strong case showing the other party was entirely at fault.
