Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes
Q: How long do I have to decide what to do (file a suit, hire a lawyer, etc)? Is it a good idea to wait a period of time before I hire an attorney?
A: If you have been injured in an accident there usually is no good reason why you need to rush out and hire an attorney immediately. You should become educated about your claim and do your research carefully. I detail how you can go about finding the right lawyer for your case in my book "the truth about lawyer advertising."
For most personal injury claims the statute of limitations in Virginia is two years. In some cases where you have been hurt by a governmental employee there are shorter time limits for giving the government notice of your claim. These vary.
Obviously you should not wait too long to contact an attorney if you believe you have been injured by the negligence of someone else. Most attorneys will have written information about the claims process and about your type of claim if indeed they are experienced in that area of the law. I've written a number of consumer publications which are available at this website.
