Leesburg Traffic Lawyer

With Leesburg’s proximity to the D.C. metropolitan area, Dulles International Airport, numerous major highways, and its heavy commuter traffic, drivers in Leesburg experience their share of traffic accidents and incidents. If you have been involved in a traffic accident or have received a traffic violation, a Leesburg traffic lawyer can help.

Your Leesburg criminal attorney can examine the details of the crash or traffic charge and determine if you may have a valid personal injury claim stemming from the accident, or whether you may be eligible to have a traffic infraction or criminal charge reduced or dismissed.

Virginia Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

Because many injuries take time to appear or become worse over time, it is a good idea to seek medical attention and then consult a traffic attorney in Leesburg soon after being involved in a motor vehicle accident, even if you do not feel severe damage right away. Your Leesburg traffic lawyer will need to file a claim on your behalf within the allotted time limit in Virginia for personal injury claims. This time period, known as the statute of limitations, is governed by Virginia Code 8.01-243, and is two years in most cases.

If you are not aware of latent injuries caused by your accident and only discover them as they worsen over a period of months or longer, your Virginia traffic lawyer will not have as much time to prepare your case, and important evidence and records could be lost in the interim.
