A personal injury lawsuit has three basic requirements- just because you have been injured in an accident does not mean you automatically have a valid personal injury claim. If you have been hurt due to the negligence of another, you may potentially be eligible for monetary compensation you are able to prove these three things:
- The party responsible for the accident was negligent.
- Their negligence caused the injury.
- The injury resulted in harm to you (compensatory damages) in the form of medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, or other ways.
Once you have confirmed with an attorney that your accident meets these requirements, you must file a timely claim that meets all procedural requirements in Virginia.
