Virginia Personal Injury Law in Alexandria
Virginia is one of only four states (plus DC) that follows the contributory negligence doctrine. This means any fault assigned to you as the injured party completely bars recovery of damages.
This makes skilled legal representation essential from the very beginning of your case. Evidence must be preserved, witnesses identified, and liability clearly established to overcome this harsh legal standard.
