General Virginia personal injury law context the firm's matters commonly involve:
- Statute of limitations: Virginia generally allows two years from the date of injury for personal injury claims and two years for most wrongful death claims (Virginia Code).
- Fault: Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule, which bars recovery entirely if the injured party is found to be even slightly at fault.
- No-fault auto insurance: Virginia is not a no-fault state; it follows a traditional tort system for auto accident claims.
- Dog bites: Virginia applies a one-bite rule, requiring proof that the owner knew or should have known of the animal's dangerous propensity.
