The statute of limitations in Virginia is typically two years. However, that time can be substantially shorter depending on the particular circumstances of a given case as well as whether any governmental actors are involved. If you fail to meet this deadline, the courts will most likely throw out your case, and you will be barred from seeking compensation for your losses. If you fail to meet this deadline, the courts will most likely throw out your case, and you will be barred from seeking compensation for your losses.
It’s important to contact our attorneys as soon as possible after an accident so we can start working on your case. It takes time to build a persuasive claim for compensation, and it’s also vital that we start collecting evidence to support your case promptly before it’s lost or destroyed.
At Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, we know you face numerous daily challenges when you’re recovering from an injury. So from the moment we begin working with you, we’ll do everything we can to take the stress of pursuing a complex personal injury claim off your shoulders so you can focus on your health and well-being.
We’ll begin by conducting a thorough investigation of what injured you. We can collect any available evidence that’s needed to prove liability and show the extent of the losses you’ve suffered, including those that are harder to quantify, such as pain and suffering. We may visit the accident scene, interview witnesses, and consult experts, such as accident reconstruction specialists. We’ll prepare the strongest case possible to give you the best chance at recovering the compensation you deserve.
We’ll then file your injury claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company and negotiate aggressively for the full recovery you’re due. Insurance companies try everything to minimize your claim and protect their bottom line. They may attempt strategies to hurt your claim, such as asking you to give a recorded statement to twist and use against you. We’re familiar with their tricks, and we know how to protect your rights.
If they fail to agree to a reasonable settlement, we’ll be fully prepared to take your case to court. We are confident litigators, ready for tiral. Protecting your best interests is always our prime objective. At the Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, we’ll go the distance for you. You can be confident that your case is in the best possible hands.
You can do several things to protect your rights if you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence:
- Get prompt medical attention. Your number one priority following any type of injury is getting the medical attention you need. Doing so will also create medical records that will be necessary to support your claim. Continue to follow your doctor’s treatment plan as you recover.
- Notify authorities. Calling 911 will bring police officers and an emergency medical team, if needed, to the scene. The officers will fill out an accident report that can provide essential information. If you’re injured at a business or on private property, notify the manager or property owner and ask them to provide a report of the accident.
- Collect evidence. Gather any information related to the accident and your injuries, such as photos of the accident scene, contact information for witnesses, medical records, receipts, and income statements. Also, keep a daily journal that tracks your physical pain and emotional distress.
- Avoid talking about the accident. It’s wise to avoid social media while your case is pending, as anything you post could potentially be used against you. Only talk about the details of your case with your lawyer and those closest to you.
- Seek legal help. As soon as possible following the accident, contact a lawyer with experience handling personal injury cases so they can begin protecting your rights.
