Question 1

What is the contingency fee at The Justice Advocate?

Accepted Answer

Our contingency fee is 25% for clear liability personal injury cases, compared to the industry standard of 33-40%. This means on a $100,000 settlement, you keep $75,000 instead of $60,000-$67,000.

Question 2

What is contributory negligence in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

Virginia follows the pure contributory negligence doctrine, meaning if you are found even 1% at fault for your accident, you can be completely barred from recovery. This is one of the strictest standards in the country and makes your choice of attorney critical.

Question 3

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

In Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of injury under Va. Code § 8.01-243. In Maryland, it is 3 years under Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101.
