Personal Injury
Personal injury encompasses several areas of the law and several different types of personal harms.
At its core, personal injury law means you have suffered an injury you believe it was caused by another’s actions or inactions. In other words, their negligence has caused your harm. Though this concept can sound simple, there are numerous potential legal pitfalls. For example, statute of limitations can bar a claim if it is not filed quickly enough.
Virginia is a contributory negligence state, meaning that if the injured person contributed to his or her own injury, they cannot recover. Personal injury law in Virginia can be complicated and intimidating, talk to the attorneys at Early & Powell, PLC about your individual case.
