01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Virginia?

Virginia: 2 years for product liability (Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-243(A)). Virginia generally starts the 2-year clock when the injury happens, not when it is discovered (Va. Code § 8.01-230); a narrow exception covers latent injuries from a substance or product that could not be diagnosed within those 2 years (Va. Code § 8.01-249(4a)). A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Virginia has two federal judicial districts: the Eastern District (Alexandria/Richmond/Norfolk) and Western District (Roanoke/Charlottesville). The Eastern District is known as the 'Rocket Docket' for its fast case management. Virginia follows a contributory negligence system — one of the few remaining states where any plaintiff fault bars recovery in negligence claims.
