Once fault is established, the at-fault party will need to pay compensation to the injured party, whether it is negotiated or settled in court. A plaintiff can prove fault in a variety of ways, but a few essential elements must be proven in order to find a party liable:
That the defending party owed you a duty of care
That this duty that was owed to you (the plaintiff) was breached
That the cause of the plaintiff's injuries was this breach of duty
That the plaintiff suffered damages, such as missed wages from work or medical bills
How long do i have to file a personal injury case?
Each state has a specific time period in which you are entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit and pursue the compensation you deserve. If this deadline passes, you will be barred from being able to file a claim. In Virginia, under Virginia Code § 8.01-243, the deadline to file a personal injury claim is two years. The court could refuse to accept the personal injury claim if it is filed after this time.
