Property Damage Claim: For this claim, under Virginia law, a person has five years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. But don’t wait too long!  It becomes very difficult to remember what was damaged and where the repair receipts are located as time passes, especially if you were also hurt and are obviously more focused on your own pain and suffering.

Bodily Injury Claim: This claim includes things like back pain, bruises, broken bones, anxiety about the crash, and other damages done to a person’s body.  In these cases, a person has two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit on their case.
