In both Virginia and Tennessee, there are specific time limits, known as the statute of limitations, within which you must file a personal injury claim. It is essential to be aware of these deadlines, as failure to file your case within the specified time frame may result in the loss of the right to seek compensation in court.
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means that an injury victim generally has two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is typically one year from the date of the injury. In certain circumstances, this deadline may be extended, but it is crucial to consult with an experienced attorney to determine if your case qualifies for an extension.
In catastrophic injury cases, victims may be entitled to collect various types of damages to help them recover from the devastating consequences of their injuries. These damages are typically divided into two categories: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are the monetary losses that result from the injury, including:
Non-economic damages compensate for the intangible losses experienced by a victim, such as:
In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded. These damages are intended to punish the defendant for particularly egregious conduct and to deter similar behavior in the future.
