Virginia Personal Injury Laws
Every state has its own rules regarding personal injury claims, and Virginia’s laws can significantly affect your case. Here are some of the most important considerations:
Contributory Negligence Rule
Virginia follows a pure contributory negligence rule, which means that if you are found even 1% at fault for your accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This strict law makes it especially important to have skilled legal representation that can fight against attempts to shift blame onto you.
Statute of Limitations
In most Virginia personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation, no matter how strong your case may be.
