Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
02Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?

There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
