If you’ve been injured in an accident in Virginia—whether it was a car crash on I-95, a slip and fall in a Richmond grocery store, or a dog bite in your own neighborhood—you have rights. At Alex Taylor Law, we’re committed to helping our neighbors navigate the complex legal system and fight for the compensation they deserve.
1. You Have the Right to Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Virginia doesn’t require you to prove immediate medical treatment to file a claim, but waiting can weaken your case. Whether you go to VCU Health, Bon Secours, or your local urgent care, make sure your injuries are documented as soon as possible.
2. You Have the Right to Full Compensation
If someone else is responsible for your injury, Virginia law allows you to seek compensation for:
Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost income
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Loss of enjoyment of life
But here’s the catch—Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule. That means if you’re even 1% at fault, you could be barred from recovering damages. That’s why having an experienced attorney on your side is critical.
3. You’re Not Required to Talk to the Other Party’s Insurance
Insurance companies may sound friendly, but their goal is to settle quickly and cheaply. In Virginia, you are not required to give a recorded statement. Doing so without legal advice can hurt your case. Let us handle the conversations, so you don’t say anything that could be used against you.
4. You Have the Right to Legal Representation
At Alex Taylor Law, we handle cases across the state—from Richmond to Henrico to Chesterfield and beyond. We’re here to protect Virginians, and we don’t take that lightly. We work on a contingency basis—which means you don’t pay unless we win your case.
5. Virginia’s Statute of Limitations is Strict
In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Miss this deadline, and your right to compensation disappears. We can help you act fast and protect your rights before it’s too late.
