Virginia car crash victims can seek economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain & suffering, emotional distress). But Virginia’s strict contributory negligence rule bars recovery if you’re even 1% at fault—making strong evidence critical.
Common compensation includes emergency care, surgery, future medical costs, missed work, reduced earning capacity, vehicle repairs, and pain/discomfort. Loss of consortium and rare punitive damages may also apply for severe cases.
Virginia’s two-year statute of limitations can sneak up fast. Important evidence like dashcam footage, skid marks, and witness accounts can vanish within days, making it crucial to act quickly
