You Generally Have Two Years to Take Legal Action

If you were injured in Petersburg, you need to act quickly to protect your legal rights. The state of Virginia has a strict statute of limitations that applies to all personal injury claims. Under section 8.01-243 of the Virginia Code, injured victims generally have two years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit. If you fail to bring your claim in time, you may lose out on your legal rights entirely.

This means that your otherwise valid legal claim might be prevented from having its day in court. You must not let this happen to you. Call an experienced Petersburg personal injury lawyer today who can help you get your claim process moving forward. Only very limited exceptions to the statute of limitations exist, so you need to take action now.

Let Us Help You Hold the Responsible Party Liable

To hold another party liable for your injuries, you will need to be able to prove that their negligence contributed to your accident. Negligence is defined simply as the failure to exercise reasonable care within the context of a specific situation. What actually constitutes negligence will depend entirely on the circumstances of your individual case. This is why it is so important that injured victims work closely with a qualified attorney.

Your attorney will be able to conduct an in-depth investigation of your claim in order to assess the defendant's negligence. Ultimately, to prove negligence, your lawyer will need to be able to establish the following:

  • The defendant had a duty toward you
  • The defendant breached that duty of care
  • The defendant’s breach of that duty caused your injuries
  • You suffered real, compensable damages in the accident
  • Shared Fault: Virginia Has Harsh Rules

Liability in not a clear-cut issue in all personal injury cases. Indeed, determining who was to blame for an accident can be incredibly complex. In some cases, multiple defendants may share responsibility for the same accident.

What Compensation Is Available for Injured Victims

If you were seriously injured in Petersburg, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover monetary relief for both direct economic losses as well as any intangible damages.

While the big insurance companies never make recovering compensation easy, our legal team will help you fight for what you are owed. At Emroch & Kilduff, our Virginia personal injury attorneys can help you seek recovery for:

  • Emergency room fees, including ambulance costs
  • Other related medical or hospital bills
  • The cost of required medication or medical devices
  • Any expenses associated with rehabilitation
  • Damages for permanent physical damage or disfigurement
  • Lost current or future income
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of life enjoyment damages

Keenya M.

From beginning to end it was great knowledge of resources, teamwork and patience from E & K that built an indisputable case. Their knowledge and hard work while constantly preparing for trial lead to the insurance company realizing they had no recourse. Skilled negotiation lead to an acceptable settlement following my car accident with disputed liability. Highly recommended!
