Personal Injury Lawsuits
The amount of time you will have to file a personal injury lawsuit is
2 years. The clock will start ticking on the day the accident occurred, so it
is important to file your suit in a VA civil court before the deadline.
If you file the lawsuit after the deadline, then the court will most likely
dismiss the case as “time-barred”.
Lawsuits Against Government Entities
Lawsuits against government entities differ in terms of the deadline. For
claims against a city or town in VA, you must notify the court
within 6 months of the date the accident occurred. If the claim is against the VA state
government, that deadline is extended to
one year.

Commonly Asked Questions
Are property owners always liable for injuries on their premises?
Property owners are not always liable for injuries that occur on their premises. Liability often depends on whether the owner acted reasonably to prevent harm and whether the injured party was lawfully on the property. Each case is unique, and our team evaluates the circumstances surrounding the injury to determine if a personal injury claim is viable.
What should I do if I've been injured in a slip-and-fall accident?
If you've been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, it's important to document the scene, report the incident to the property owner, seek medical attention, and collect contact information from any witnesses. After these initial steps, contacting a personal injury attorney can help you understand your rights and the potential for a claim against the property owner for failing to maintain safe conditions.
