Virginia Laws That Affect Your Claim
Statute of Limitations
In Virginia, you have two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case, no matter how strong your evidence is. There are very few exceptions, so act quickly and protect yourself. (See Virginia Code § 8.01-243)
Contributory Negligence
Virginia is one of the few states that follows the pure contributory negligence rule. This means that if you are found to be even 1% at fault for the crash, you may not be able to recover any compensation. Insurance companies often try to use this rule to reduce or deny payouts, which is why it’s so important to have a lawyer on your side.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
If the driver who hit you has no insurance or not enough insurance, you may still be able to recover damages through your own policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This law requires that your insurer offer these protections, and our attorneys can help you use them when needed. (See Virginia Code § 38.2-2206)
Drunk Driving and Punitive Damages
If the driver who caused your crash was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be entitled to punitive damages. This is separate from criminal charges and is designed to punish reckless behavior—especially in cases with high blood alcohol levels or repeat offenses. (See Virginia Code § 8.01-44.5)
Minimum Insurance Requirements
Virginia allows drivers to pay a $500 uninsured motor vehicle fee instead of carrying car insurance—but that fee doesn’t give them any coverage. Beginning in 2025, the minimum required liability coverage increases to:
- $50,000 for injury or death of one person
- $100,000 for injury or death of two or more people
- $25,000 for property damage
