Statute of Limitations
Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (Va. Code § 8.01-243). Virginia follows contributory negligence — any plaintiff fault bars all recovery. This makes Virginia particularly difficult for truck accident plaintiffs, and carriers aggressively pursue any shared fault argument. Claims against VDOT or state entities require compliance with the Virginia Tort Claims Act.
