Statute of Limitations
Virginia personal injury SOL: 2 years (Va. Code § 8.01-243). Minor tolling: SOL tolled until age 18, then 2-year SOL runs — child's claim expires at age 20 (Va. Code § 8.01-229). Wrongful death: 2 years from death (Va. Code § 8.01-244). Virginia follows pure contributory negligence — any plaintiff negligence bars recovery entirely. Virginia product liability actions must be brought within 2 years of injury.
