Virginia Laws That Affect Your Truck Accident Claim
Statute of Limitations
In most personal injury cases in Virginia, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit under Virginia Code § 8.01-243. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.
Pure Contributory Negligence
Virginia is one of the few states that applies pure contributory negligence. Even minimal fault can prevent recovery. This makes early investigation and strategic case building especially important.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
If the commercial driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, you may be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy pursuant to Virginia Code § 38.2-2206.
Federal Trucking Regulations
Truck drivers and carriers must comply with strict federal regulations covering:
- Hours of service limits
- Maintenance and inspection requirements
- Drug and alcohol testing
- Cargo securement standards
Violations of these rules often play a central role in establishing negligence.
Commercial Insurance Policies
Commercial trucking policies frequently involve layered coverage structures and corporate defense teams. Our firm has the experience and resources to stand up to national insurers and aggressively defend your interests.
