Initial consultation: Free
Contingency fee: typically 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% if litigation is filed

VA statute of limitations

Most VA personal injury claims must be filed within a strict window — often 2 to 3 years from the date of injury. Government and medical-malpractice claims can have shorter deadlines. Speaking with a Virginia Beach attorney early preserves your right to recover.
