How Much Time Do Families Have To File a Car Accident Case in Virginia?

Under the Virginia Code, only certain parties can bring an action for injuries or death and damages caused by the negligence, recklessness or carelessness of others. This includes the injured party, or the personal representative of a deceased person’s estate (i.e. someone appointed by the court).

Specifically, in Virginia, a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the event causing the injury or death. This is in order to meet the Commonwealth’s time limit, also known as the statute of limitations. Any person considering a lawsuit should consult with a car accident attorney to determine the exact filing deadline in their case.
