Statute of Limitations
Virginia's personal injury SOL is 2 years (Va. Code § 8.01-243(A)). Elder abuse claims follow the same 2-year period. Contributory negligence — any fault by the plaintiff bars recovery entirely — makes case development especially critical. Virginia imposes a damages cap on medical malpractice claims (Va. Code § 8.01-581.15); the cap for 2024 is $2.5M and increases annually.
