Personal Injury Law in Virginia

Virginia personal injury law allows injured victims to pursue compensation for damages caused by another party’s negligence. However, Virginia follows a “contributory negligence” rule, which means that if you are found even slightly responsible for your injury, you may not recover damages. This strict rule makes it crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can build a strong case and protect your right to compensation.

Virginia Statute of Limitations:
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you have a limited time to file a lawsuit. Our firm will help ensure that all filing deadlines are met, so your rights are protected.

Personal Injury Law in Maryland

Maryland also follows a “contributory negligence” rule, similar to Virginia, making it essential to demonstrate that the other party was entirely at fault for your injury. Maryland’s approach emphasizes the importance of gathering strong evidence to support your claim and working with knowledgeable attorneys who can build a compelling case.

Maryland Statute of Limitations:
In Maryland, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. It’s essential to act quickly and work with an attorney who can guide you through the process and ensure your claim is filed within the legal timeframe.

Types of Compensation Available

If you’ve been injured due to another’s negligence, you may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:

• Medical Expenses: For current and future medical bills related to your injury.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost while recovering, as well as reduced earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work.
• Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages that compensate you for the physical and emotional pain resulting from your injury.
• Property Damage: Reimbursement for repairs or replacement of damaged property, such as a vehicle.
• Punitive Damages: In some cases, the court may award punitive damages to punish particularly reckless or intentional behavior.
