We will discuss your accident, free of charge, and determine if you have grounds for legal action.

    What constitutes a personal injury action in Virginia

    To bring a personal injury action in Virginia, claimants must establish:

    • That another person or party owed them a duty of care
    • This duty of care was breached
    • The breach of duty resulted in injuries and harm

    Personal injury law applies to many situations, from pedestrian knock-downs and workplace accidents to motor vehicle collisions. As an example, all motorists owe a basic duty to exercise reasonable caution while driving. This implies obeying traffic rules, and taking measures to avoid injuring others. If an accident occurs and evidence suggests that a driver was texting, or intoxicated behind the wheel, which caused injuries or death to another, then the victims would have a just cause to sue for damages.

    A Rutter Mills personal injury attorney will be able to gather compelling evidence that demonstrates if another party’s negligent actions caused your injuries, and the extent of the harm you have sustained.

    Limited time for filing a personal injury claim

    Every state has a statute of limitations, which limits the time you have to pursue legal action. In Virginia, adults have two years from the date of the accident in which to file a personal injury suit. In the case of a wrongful death action, there are important deadlines to observe. When contemplating legal action, these statutes of limitation are an important factor. The sooner you involve an attorney, the more time we have to investigate and thoroughly prepare your case.

    What Our Clients Say

    "The staff at Rutter Mills worked for me from the first minute I was in their office. They called and emailed every week and kept better records than I did. I was injured and had to undergo two operations from the accident. The recovery period was long with many physical therapy sessions over the next year. The staff emailed me many times, asking if there was anything they could do to make me feel better during my recovery. During this time my attorney was active in filing the paperwork for court litigation, but was contacted by the other law firm that wished to discuss settling my case. Depositions were done and the final one was scheduled and I was present to complete that phase of the case. My attorney got a maximum award for me and I will be forever grateful for his and their staff's work and attention during my time of legal need. Rutter Mills will be my only call if I ever need legal representation in the future." ★★★★★ -Dan, Rutter Mills Client
