If you have been injured in Virginia, the calendar matters more than you might think.
For most personal injury claims in the Commonwealth, the statute of limitations is two years from the date the cause of action accrues. That includes car accidents, truck wrecks, slip and falls, motorcycle crashes, and many other common cases. Once that window closes, the right to pursue compensation usually closes with it, no matter how strong the underlying case may be.
Two years can feel like a long time. It is not. Medical treatment, insurance back-and-forth, and life itself can eat through it quickly.
