The size and weight of a truck can lead to serious accidents resulting in severe, even life-threatening injuries. If you or a loved one was injured in a truck collision, you do not have to fight for financial recovery on your own. Our Richmond, VA truck accident lawyers at Jenner Law can help.
We will identify the accident’s cause and the at-fault party. Our law firm will also collect evidence and deal with the insurance company so you do not have to. Our goal is to hold the at-fault party responsible for your accident-related expenses.
It Is Never Too Soon to Put Our Truck Accident Lawyer to Work on Your Case
The days and weeks after a truck accident can be physically and emotionally traumatic and make dealing with the legal aspect of your case difficult. An important legal component of your case is the filing of your lawsuit. If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you could be left with no legal recourse that compels the at-fault party to compensate you.
In Virginia, the following statutes of limitation apply:
- Code of Virginia § 8.01-243 generally requires you to file your personal injury lawsuit within two years from the date of the accident.
- Code of Virginia § 8.01-244 generally requires you to file your lawsuit within two years of the date of a loved one’s accident-related demise.
The sooner you get our law firm involved in your case, the more time we have to conduct a thorough investigation and build a solid case. Our familiarity with state law also means we can ensure the statute of limitations is correctly interpreted and your potential lawsuit is filed on time.
