Guide
How injury claims work in Richmond and Virginia
Filing deadline
Most Virginia personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years, with only narrow exceptions.
Strict shared-fault rule
Virginia follows pure contributory negligence, so being found even slightly at fault can bar recovery in most cases. Early evidence matters.
Insurance minimums
For policies issued on or after January 1, 2025, Virginia requires at least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury, which serious injuries can exceed. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help.
Claims against government
Claims involving a city, county or state agency carry strict notice rules and shorter deadlines, sometimes as little as six months.
Which court hears the case
Smaller claims often start in Richmond General District Court, while serious-injury cases with larger damages are usually filed in Richmond Circuit Court.
How fees work
All three firms here work on contingency, meaning no upfront fee and payment only from a recovery. Ask how case costs are handled.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Richmond?
Most Virginia personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years. Claims against a government body have shorter notice deadlines, so speak with a lawyer soon after the injury.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Usually not. Virginia follows pure contributory negligence, which can bar recovery if you are found even slightly at fault. Narrow exceptions exist, such as the last clear chance doctrine.
Do Richmond injury lawyers charge upfront?
None of the three firms on this page charge an upfront fee. Each works on contingency and offers a free consultation.
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may pay for losses the at-fault driver cannot. A lawyer can review your policy for available coverage.
Which firm on this list handles medical malpractice?
Silverman Law Firm lists medical malpractice, pharmacy errors and related medical-injury claims as a main focus of its practice.
Is there a Richmond firm that speaks Spanish?
Latham & Martin offers Spanish-language service. Ask the other firms directly if you need it.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury claims settle without a trial, but a case that cannot settle may be filed in Richmond General District Court or Circuit Court depending on its value.

Tips for a Richmond injury claim
- Get checked the same day. Delays in care give insurers room to argue your injury came from something else.
- Hold off on recorded statements. Talk to a lawyer before giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded account.
- Watch what you post. Insurers check social media for photos that seem to contradict an injury.
- Keep one folder. Store bills, pay stubs, repair estimates and insurer letters together from day one.
