How Virginia law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Virginia is one of the last pure contributory negligence states: any fault attributable to the injured person bars recovery completely, no matter how small the share.

Baskett v. Banks, 186 Va. 1022 (1947); Litchford v. Hancock, 232 Va. 496 (1987)

Damage caps

Virginia places no cap on damages in ordinary injury cases. Its malpractice cap covers all damages combined and rises annually, reaching a permanent $3,000,000 in 2031.

Va. Code § 8.01-581.15

Claims against government

Claims against a Virginia county, city, or town require notice within six months; claims against the Commonwealth allow one year.

Va. Code §§ 15.2-209, 8.01-195.6
