In Virginia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means you have two years to file a lawsuit in court. Failing to file within this timeframe usually results in the loss of your right to seek compensation. However, certain exceptions can apply, so consulting with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is crucial to preserving your claim.
The compensation in a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the specifics of each case. Generally, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical Expenses: Costs for past and future medical treatment related to your injuries.
- Lost Wages: Income lost due to time away from work, as well as future earning capacity if you're unable to return to work.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress suffered as a result of the accident.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for repairs or the replacement value of any property damaged in the accident.
- Punitive Damages: In rare cases, if the defendant's conduct was particularly egregious, you might be awarded punitive damages as a form of punishment.
Each personal injury case is unique, and the types and amounts of compensation you may be eligible for will depend on the specifics of your situation. An experienced personal injury lawyer can provide you with a more accurate assessment after reviewing your case.
