What to Bring to an Initial Consultation

You do not need to have every document before contacting the firm. Available information that may help with the initial review includes:

• The date and location of the incident
• A police or incident-report number
• Photographs and video
• Witness contact information
• Insurance correspondence
• Medical records and bills
• Discharge instructions
• Work restrictions
• Pay statements or income records
• Repair estimates
• Settlement offers or releases

The initial consultation allows the firm to learn what happened and discuss whether Atkinson Law may be able to assist. Contacting the firm does not itself create an attorney-client relationship.

How Long Do You Have to File a Virginia Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Under Virginia Code § 8.01-243, a personal injury action generally must be filed within two years after the cause of action accrues.

Different deadlines, notice requirements or exceptions may apply when a claim involves:

• A minor or incapacitated person
• A death resulting from the injury
• A state or local government defendant
• Medical malpractice
• An unidentified driver
• Another specialised statute

Insurance negotiations do not necessarily pause or extend the filing deadline.
