If you’ve been injured in Richmond, knowing your rights under Virginia law can make a major difference in your journey to recovery and financial stability. Whether your injury happened in a car crash on I-95, a slip-and-fall in Shockoe Bottom, or while working at a warehouse in the Richmond metro area, you may be entitled to compensation. The attorneys at Reinhardt | Harper | Davis have helped injured individuals and workers throughout Richmond and the surrounding counties navigate complex claims, deal with insurance companies, and pursue the full benefits they deserve.
Virginia law has strict deadlines and unique rules that can affect your case. Most personal injury claims in Virginia must be filed within two years of the accident, and workers’ compensation claims generally require prompt notice to your employer and filing within two years of the injury. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim, so early legal guidance is critical.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
Richmond’s busy interstates and downtown corridors are prone to frequent crashes. Accident victims may pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering.

Parham Rd, The Powhite Pkwy I-64 interchange, Route 1, Rt. 301, the Midlothian Turnpike and more.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Property owners in Virginia have a duty to maintain reasonably safe premises. Falls in grocery stores, apartment complexes, restaurants, and parking lots are common in the Richmond area.

Dog Bites
Virginia follows a “one-bite” rule in many injury cases, but dog owners can still be liable depending on the circumstances and prior knowledge of the animal’s behavior.

Families who are experiencing the loss of a loved one due to negligence may pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most Virginia cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim.
Your employer typically provides a panel of at least three approved physicians. Choosing correctly from this panel is very important because it can affect your benefits and work restrictions.
You can still pursue a Virginia workers’ compensation claim. Jurisdiction usually depends on where the injury occurred or where the employer is located.
Usually no. Workers’ compensation is typically the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, you may have a separate third-party claim (for example, against a negligent driver or equipment manufacturer).
Virginia follows pure contributory negligence, meaning if you are even 1% at fault in a personal injury case, you may be barred from recovery. This makes strong legal representation especially important.
Simple claims may resolve in a few months, but disputed cases can take 6–18 months or longer, especially if hearings are required.
Be cautious. Adjusters often seek recorded statements that may be used to reduce your claim. Speaking with an attorney first is usually wise.
