Greene County Personal Injury Lawyer — What Compensation Can You Recover?
Virginia Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law in Virginia allows an injured person to seek financial compensation from the party whose negligence caused their harm. The core statute is Va. Code § 8.01-243, which sets a strict two-year deadline (statute of limitations) to file a lawsuit from the date of injury.

In Greene County, a successful personal injury claim can recover compensation for economic and non-economic losses, though Virginia’s contributory negligence doctrine can bar recovery if you are found even 1% at fault.
| Damage Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Economic Damages | Quantifiable financial losses | Medical bills, lost wages, property repair costs |
| Non-Economic Damages | Subjective, non-financial losses | Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life |
