How long do I have to sue over personal injury in Virginia?

Answered for: Virginia

every action for personal injuries, whatever the theory of recovery, and every action for damages resulting from fraud, shall be brought within two years after the cause of action accrues.

The statute states 2 years for personal injury. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.

This answer is true in Virginia and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Virginia.
