Short answer: Most personal injury claims in Virginia fall into a handful of types: motor vehicle crashes, falls on someone else's property, medical malpractice, animal attacks, and wrongful death. What they share is a two-year deadline to file (Va. Code § 8.01-243) and Virginia's contributory negligence rule, which can bar your claim entirely if you were even 1% at fault. The type of case matters less than those two facts.
