Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire Ritchie Law Firm?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Virginia?
Virginia's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, some cases have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Virginia follows the doctrine of contributory negligence, which means that if you are found even slightly at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This makes experienced legal representation critical in Virginia injury cases.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while complex cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more. We keep you informed at every stage.
Do I have a case?
If you were injured due to someone else's negligence, you likely have a case. The best way to find out is to contact us for a free case evaluation. We will review your situation and give you an honest assessment.
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene if possible, do not admit fault, and contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies. Early legal guidance protects your claim.
