Virginia personal injury law is complex. While the statute of limitations varies depending on the type of personal injury case, in general, injured parties have two years to file suit. One of the main exceptions involves the tolling of the statute of limitations. A statute of limitations is tolled when something stops the statute from running for a period of time. Two common reasons for tolling a statute of limitations are:
- The victim was a minor when the injury occurred
- The victim was not mentally competent when the injury occurred

Auto Accidents In Virginia
Car crashes happen every day. Regardless of how many precautions you take as a driver, you and your passengers are still a risk from the other drivers sharing the road. When a driver is inattentive or reckless, their actions could cause an accident. Motor vehicle accidents can result in serious injuries, such as:
- Neck pain

Motorcycle Accidents
For countless individuals, motorcycles are a fun, exhilarating and practical method of transportation. Unfortunately, they are also dangerous. A motorcycle’s design provides almost no protection for riders who are involved in a crash. And, since automobile drivers are considered one of the greatest threats to motorcyclists’ safety, motorcycle accidents happen all too often. When they do, they can leave the occupants of the bike severely injured. If you or a family member were injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you might be entitled to monetary damages. We can help you determine if you have a valid Virginia personal injury case. Contact our office to discuss your legal situation today.
