Slip and fall lawyer Virginia: your deadline
The first thing a Virginia slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have two years from the day you fell to file, under Va. Code § 8.01-243.
Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.
How Virginia splits the blame
Virginia still uses contributory negligence. Any fault on your part can sink the whole claim. The rule is in state law.
Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. Under this rule the award can drop to $0. That is why the insurer asks what you were looking at.
Public property in Virginia
A fall on government property needs written notice first: 6 months under Va. Code § 15.2-209. Miss it and the claim against the government can be gone.
What your Virginia case is worth
The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.
Answer four quick questions; the Virginia rule is already set.
