Q. What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in West Virginia?

March 2, 2021

A: Personal injury lawsuits in West Virginia must be filed within two years of the event or accident that caused the injury. It is essential to make sure you get your personal injury lawsuit filed in Virginia's court system before the two-year window closes and your claim is forever barred. The sooner you contact an attorney after your accident, the better chance you have to maximize your recovery. As time passes, it can become more difficult to obtain witness testimony and to collect evidence to support your claim.
