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.
