What Constitutes a PI Case in Suffolk, VA?

Personal injuries come in many shapes and sizes, and can be caused by almost anything, but there are some elements that are typical to almost all of them in Virginia

If you have sustained an injury from an automobile accident, slip and fall, or animal attack in Suffolk, it is crucial that you understand what rights you have and how your personal injury claim will likely work.

Common Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in Virginia

In almost every Personal Injury claim, the injured individual must be able to establish four elements to win their case in Suffolk. The 4 elements that the party bringing the suit (the plaintiff) must establish to succeed are: (1) the party that caused the accident (the defendant) behaved negligently, (2) that negligence caused the accident, (3) that the defendant's conduct caused the injury, and (4) that your lawsuit has been brought before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

It is critical that you do not sit and wait to file your case. Virginia's laws require you to file your case within a certain time period defined by the statute of limitations. If you do not file within this period, you will have waived any legal right to recover you may have had.
