Statute of Limitations in Virginia

In Virginia, truck accident injury claims generally must be filed within 2 years after the cause of action accrues. Waiting too long can jeopardize your right to seek compensation.

  • Standard personal injury claims: 2 years under Va. Code § 8.01-243(A).
  • Claims involving public entities can involve special notice requirements and separate procedures, so prompt legal review is important.

Why it matters:
Truck accident cases often depend on driver logs, maintenance records, company communications, and electronic data that can be lost if no one acts quickly. Speaking with a Virginia truck accident attorney early can help protect critical evidence.
