Understanding Norfolk’s Unique Legal Environment

Navigating a claim in Virginia requires a firm grasp of the Commonwealth’s specific statutes. Unlike many other states, Virginia operates under the doctrine of pure contributory negligence. According to Virginia Code section 8.01-243, you generally have a two-year window to file a lawsuit. However, the contributory negligence rule means that if you are found even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be legally barred from recovering any damages.

Because of these strict standards, our team focuses on the investigation of every case. We work to establish a clear “source of truth” regarding the crash to ensure insurance companies cannot use minor details to deny your rightful claim.

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

First, ensure everyone is safe and call for emergency services. Then, document the scene with photos and collect witness contact information. Finally, consult with a legal professional before speaking to any insurance adjusters to avoid making statements that could harm your claim under the contributory negligence rule.

How is the value of my claim determined?

By referencing evidence, data, and outside experts, we can calculate a settlement that accounts for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
