All personal injury claims in Virginia must be filed within two years of the date of the injury.Our Firm may recommend filing in General District Court (for cases claiming less than $25,000 in damages) or Circuit Court. Depending on the circumstances of the case, we sometimes present the defendant with a pre-filing settlement demand package in order to resolve the case out of court.A contingency fee is paid as a percentage of a total recovery -- the client is not charged legal fees unless he/she wins or settles the case.If you have significant injuries, you should always retain an attorney in order to maximize the settlement value of your case.
