Where would my case be heard?
Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice and a unique Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program (NICA) — similar to Florida's — that provides administrative compensation for qualifying neurological birth injuries in exchange for waiving the right to sue. Accepting NICA benefits may significantly limit recovery compared to litigation. VCU Health and Inova Fairfax Hospital in Northern Virginia are major obstetric centers.
