Injury Attorneys By Me

Every year, there are thousands of people who are injured in the state of Virginia. From car accidents to slip and falls, most of these accidents are preventable and only occur because a person acts irresponsibly.

When people are injured due to the fault of another, our law firm wants to help the hurt party seek compensation for their injuries. At the firm of Hampton Injury Law PLC, we are committed to protecting your rights to seek the full value of the losses you have suffered.

Our Personal Injury Practice Areas

We have the experience and resources to represent those injured in many different types of accidents. We have helped clients harmed in:

• Motor vehicle accidents;
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents;
• Medical malpractice;
• Wrongful death accidents;
• Nursing homes;
• Product liability accidents;
• Slip and fall accidents;
• Dog attacks; and
• More.

While each injury is very different, the requirements for holding a defendant liable for damages are the same, regardless of the cause of the accident. A plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty of care, that this duty of care was breached, and that the plaintiff’s injuries would not have occurred but for the defendant’s negligence.

Time Limits for Filing Your Claim

If you believe that you have a personal injury claim based on the negligence of another party, it is crucial that you take action to file your claim as soon as possible. The statute of limitations in Virginia for filing a claim is two years – if you wait longer than two years from the date of your injury, you will be unable to recover compensation. If you are filing a claim against a government entity, this deadline decreases, and you are obligated to file a notice of claim within six months’ time from the date of injury. It is advised that you work with a legal professional who can guide you through timelines and assist you in filing your claim.
