Exmore Injury Lawyers
Types of personal injury
Motor vehicle accidents, including those involving trucks, make up most of the lawsuits. However, personal injury cases run the gamut. Other common types include:
- Defective products
- Medical malpractice
- Premises liability
- Workplace accidents
Some are considered catastrophic, meaning the individual will never recover and will likely require long-term or lifelong care. Catastrophic injuries often shorten a victim’s lifespan. Examples of such injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injury
- Loss of limbs
- Loss of eyesight
- Multiple fractures
- Severe burns
- Severe neurological disorders
Statute of Limitations
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the date of the accident. A personal injury may result in the death of the victim. If a person succumbs to their injury, the personal representative of the estate may file a wrongful death lawsuit within two years of the death date. While two years may sound like an ample amount of time, it is vital to consult an experienced Exmore personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the injury.
Workers Compensation
If you’ve been injured on the job, workers’ compensation insurance may entitle you to critical assistance like medical treatment, lost wages, and more. But insurance companies will put up an aggressive fight to resist paying you the compensation you need and deserve. Rutter Mills can help get you the money you deserve.
