Sandy, the name given to the massive storm that has wreaked havoc on the east coast during Halloween week, forced the closures of the Supreme Court of Virginia and Virginia State Bar offices.

There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
