Virginia’s Wrongful Death Statute
Virginia’s wrongful death statute allows certain surviving family members, including spouses, children, and parents, to bring a claim on behalf of their loved one.
Surviving family members may be entitled to recover:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Lost income and financial support
- Loss of companionship, comfort, and care
- Pain and suffering endured by the victim
- Punitive damages when gross negligence is proven
In Virginia, wrongful death claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of death. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your family from recovering any compensation. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin building your case.
